Current Mexican President Enrique Nieto has proposed a liberation on his country's drug laws. Through current delegation with California lawmakers, he believes that the country's drug situation may turn around. If California does legalize cannabis, there will be others wanting Mexico to follow. Although for California, this law would allow people over the age of 21 to use marijuana for private use through licensing and taxing. As cannabis use is a growing trend in a few states already, it is easy to see how impactful this could be for Mexico. Nieto has modified his stance on this subject by previously being a conservative on drug policy. The executive director of Drug Policy Alliance believes that Mexico could be swayed by the 'fiscal opportunities of regulated cannabis'.
