In recent years, Mexico\u2019s leaders have driven a movement to legalize cannabis. In 2017, President Enrique Pe\xf1a Nieto signed a bill legalizing cannabis for medical use. In 2018, Miguel Torruco, Mexico\u2019s Tourism Minister, called for recreational use on a state-by-state basis. In the same year, former President Vicente Fox held a cannabis conference with high-level government, scientific, and business leaders in Guanajuato. On today\u2019s show, the former president\u2019s right-hand man, Juan Garcia of Red Eagle Global Resources, joins Tony Frischknecht to talk about finally ending the cannabis prohibition in Mexico. He shares his insight on why Mexico has no other choice but to legalize the recreational consumption of cannabis at the federal level, and why Mexico\u2019s cannabis industry could soon be fertile ground.
