Mexican Senate Approves Cannabis Legalisation Bill [sputniknews.com]:

"With 82 votes in favour, 18 against and 7 abstentions the bill that regulates the use of cannabis passes in general and with additional articles," the Mexican Senate said on Twitter on Thursday.

According to the law, people capable and over 18 years of age will be allowed to carry 28 grams (0.99 ounces) of legally purchased cannabis for recreational use, to grow it at home and join associations for its cultivation.

The bill establishes the new Mexican Cannabis Regulation and Control Institute as an authority responsible for the regulation, control and evaluation of the cannabis regulation system through the permissions for selling products related to this herb.
