Text Extraction

In Mexico, amendments to the General Health Law and the Federal Penal Code have recently been approved to authorize the medical and scientific use of marijuana (Agencia EFE, 2017). This is a major change in legislation, albeit with a smaller scope than other countries, such as the Netherlands, where consumption has been decriminalized for decades, or Uruguay, which recently began the process of legalizing the production, distribution and use of marijuana for recreational purposes. Likewise, marijuana has been decriminalized and legalized in a number of states in the United States, where, despite changes at the state and federal level, both medicinal and recreational use remains illegal (de Alba, 2016).
