MEXICAN SENATE LAUNCHES REC PUSH
Mexico’s Senate will reportedly vote to legalize REC in coming days, a major step towards full legalization in a country where violent drug cartels have long had outsized influence. Mexico’s leftist President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has indicated he supports legalization.
