  "account": "Mexico's Supreme Court has granted permission for individuals with authorized recreational cannabis use to prepare marijuana-infused edibles at home for personal consumption. However, the ruling does not permit the sale, public retail, or distribution of these edibles. The Supreme Court's decision, which came after Cofepris granted a recreational self-consumption authorization, allows for the creation of THC-laced items like gummies, brownies, and cookies. The Court deemed incorporating marijuana or THC into food to be ordinary cooking, not specialized health product manufacturing. The ruling will not impact the production of cannabis for medicinal or cosmetic purposes, vaping products, dietary supplements, or any other items requiring specialized health controls. The news represents an ongoing evolution in Mexico's approach to adult marijuana use, as the country has gradually moved towards legalization while still maintaining strict regulations on commercial distribution.",
  "summary": "It was a victory of sorts for marijuana advocates — another piece in the Court's piecemeal approach to decriminalization. If you're authorized, you can make a THC brownie, but you can't buy or selll one, or even share it. The post Mexico’s Supreme Court allows home cannabis edibles, but with a limited practical effect appeared first on Mexico News Daily",
