Mexico Just Legalized Weed – Now What?

There is a couple of different and interesting aspects to the Mexican cannabis law. For example, they do have a provision that gives priority to dispense licenses to low-income individuals and or rural farmers. However, some activists believe that this will not be of too much of a difference because in rural areas there isn’t enough police presence to protect rural farmers from cartels, and that the licensing schemes of needing to track the cannabis from seed to sale makes it difficult for low-income individuals to participate.
