Similarly in Mexico, you’ll find a de-facto legalization of weed. Possession of up to 5 grams was decriminalized in 2009, followed by the legalization of personal cultivation by a Supreme Court case in 2015, which stated that “prohibiting people from growing the drug for consumption was unconstitutional as it violated the human right to the free development of one’s personality.” Medicinal use was made legal in 2016, and many think that full legalization for recreational usage will be soon to follow.

Mexico City: the Best of All Worlds
Mexico City / La Ciudad de Mexico / CDMX has it all. European charm, Latin flair, Aztec and Mayan dynamism, and all the familiar comforts of the USA. And did I mention the food? Or the 150 museums? Frankly, I'm thinking of getting an apartment there. If you're headed there, get a place in Juarez or Roma Norte (for safety reasons, but also because it's gorgeous) :)Cancun and Tulum Bucket List
