Mexico’s proposal to legalize cannabis has hit a snag in the Senate, where a revised version of the bill is under consideration. The economic potential is enormous, we are talking about generating more than $22 billion dollars in less than four years because there is an opening to all areas, from the medicinal part, the recreational part, and even the industry.

2028 opens a national cannabis market with a value of two billion dollars, with 67% from the medical branch and 33% recreational, according to a report by Endeavor Mexico. Mexico, considered the second-largest producer in the world with up to 27,000 tons a year. One of the main advantages of Mexico is that 80% of the territory is suitable for growing cannabis and its derivatives.

But the reforms still include fines for possessing between 28 and 200 grams and prison sentences of up to 15 years for carrying more than 200 grams.
