JAKARTA Memories of today, 23 years ago, June 28, 2021, the Mexican Supreme Court legalized the use of marijuana for recreation. The decision prevents Mexicans from being criminalized if they are known to consume and grow marijuana in certain quantities.
Previously, Mexico had banned the use of marijuana for medical and recreational purposes for a long time. Those caught carrying marijuana can be punished. This condition makes prisons crowded with marijuana users.

The government is starting to think of other ways. The owner of power does not want all marijuana users to be imprisoned. A logical decision regarding marijuana ownership comes in 2009. The rule reveals that anyone who brings marijuana for only five grams will not be put in prison, but marijuana users are advised to enter the drug rehabilitation center.
The Supreme Court's decision changed everything in 2015. Mexico's Supreme Court allowed four people to grow and use marijuana independently and responsibly. However, in certain quantities.

The Supreme Court's decision also provided space for Mexico to start drafting the Draft Law (RUU) on the legalization of marijuana. The government has also begun to invite the public to debate about efforts to legalize marijuana.
Although the ruling does not overturn the current drug law marijuana users can be detained. However, the ruling is the basis for a series of legal actions that can ultimately change existing legal products. The decision reflects the dynamics of change in Mexico, where for decades America-backed anti-drug campaigns have generated a lot of upheaval, said Elizabeth Malkin and Azam Ahmad in his article on The New York Times website entitled Ruling in Mexico Sets Into Motion Legal Marijuana (2015).
