Debate 🇨🇷 Costa Rica

Costa Rica's top court blocks a recreational cannabis bill

The Constitutional Chamber ruled that the government's bill to regulate recreational cannabis, file 23.383, was unconstitutional because it conflicts with the three UN drug conventions, which rank above domestic law. The electoral tribunal had asked after a citizen sought to put the bill to a referendum. The bill could go forward only if Costa Rica left the conventions.[1]
