Mexican Supreme Court OKs Marijuana for Personal Consumption
- 9 years ago
Mexico's highest court ruled that individuals can consume marijuana for recreational purposes, but not sell the drug.

However, observers point out that powerful interests, including drug traffickers, will try to prevent full legalization. Clayton Conn reports from Mexico City. teleSUR
