Adults can carry up to 28 grams of marijuana.
The carrying of marijuana for recreational consumption continues to be penalized in Mexico, despite the fact that the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) issued a ruling that decriminalizes its use, allowing its harvest, cultivation, planting and consumption for recreational purposes only to adults.
The carrying of marijuana can only be carried out legally once a permit has been processed to authorize the recreational use of cannabis. AmericanPost.News.
