Debate 🇲🇽 Mexico

Mexico's Supreme Court falls one vote short of ending the 5 g limit

Five of nine justices voted to strike the 5 g limit from the health law with general effect, one fewer than the six needed. The man in the case, a homeless person held in Ciudad Juárez in 2021 with 14 g, won individual protection: the judge must weigh whether the cannabis was for his own use. The limit stays in force for everyone else.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Mexico here.
