So does everybody know what the current about in Mexico, is regarding marijuana?
Marijuana, is still not legal, however in 2009, Mexico decided not to prosecute those carrying a relatively small quantities of marijuana, cocaine,
heroin, and a few other drugs. If caught they were suppose to be referred to treatment centers, not jail.
So if caught with 5 grams or less of marijuana, the Mexican police, might mess with you, but it's unlikely you will be taken before a judge, and
sentence to a long prison sentence in a Mexican prison.
In 2015 the Mexican Supreme court ruled to allow people to grow marijuana for their own personal use. However, the problem there is technically, the
ruling only applied to the four people who brought the case to the Supreme court, because court precedents don't work the same way as in the US, but
the marijuana laws are going in the right direction in Mexico.
In 2017 Mexico, actually marijuana for medical and scientific purposes, so again Mexico is headed in the right direction.
I would be careful about products with CBD, because the law permits CBD products with THC below 1% to act as supplements, and that's just too low, and
should be raised. ( it's the THC" that gives the buzz)
Now if you want to bring marijuana to Mexico, or just smoke it in Mexico, that's your call, however, I wouldn't worry too much about the police,
although they may mess with you and even ask you for a bribe.
I have know Americans, who come to Tijuana, and buy Viagra in Mexico, and the corrupt cops mess with them too. They claim you need a prescription
for ED medicine like you do in the US, and they point to the package of ED medicine, that says, something about a prescription.
It's a nice way to get a bribe from hapless American tourists, but I don't know of anybody actually going to jail or having a Viagra pill, or a
marijuana joint.
In California, marijuana, is now actually legal for even recreational use, but it doesn't stop rogue cops, from harassing motorists, especially if
they are black or Hispanic, because there are still strict rules regarding where you can smoke it or have an open container.
Cops from both side of the border, who needs them, but if you know the laws, you can deal with them and make them back off.

I was more curious about personal
experiences with the recent legal changes to decriminalize marijuana in Mexico.
