The initiative of Senator Olga Sanchez Cordero on the regulation of marijuana is perfectible because it presents some edges that must be corrected before its arrival in the Chamber of Deputies; and once it lands in the lower house, the adjustments will continue, said federal deputies Maximiliano Ruiz Arias and Lucinda Sandoval Soberanes.

Finally, the federal deputy Jesus Fernando Garcia Hernandez clarified that in the regulation of the production chain of marijuana touch edges that currently do not exist, such as packaging, advertising, and points of consumption, so the results will be effective and tangible.

“The plants will have to be registered in an anonymous register. The proposal establishes rules: from the location of the points of sale that the marijuana outlets will have, which are not near the educational centers. They must grant the license to those who have an acceptance and approval as citizens, “he concluded.
