Mexico's Supreme Court
( SCJN ) ratified the articles included in Mexico City's Constitution and which establishes the right to use medical marijuana .
The ministers indicated that recognizing the right to use medical marijuana does not imply the prohibition of its recreational use .
Arturo Zaldívar Lelo de Larrea
, the president of the Supreme Court , said “It seems to me that the fact that the local Constitution talks about the medical and therapeutic use doesn't imply banning the recreational use of marijuana . Therefore, this provision seems under-inclusive to me but not necessarily constitutional.”
The Supreme Court also ratified the right to safe drinking water, education , the preservation of monuments in the city, and migrant s' right to protection.
