Ruth Zavaleta Salgado, candidate for governor of Guerrero for Movimiento Ciudadano, spoke imprecisely about the situation of marijuana legalization in the United States.
“In the United States (marijuana) has already been legalized in 90% of the states,” the candidate commented on March 12. This information is misleading, since marijuana in the American Union is legalized only in 84% of its territory, under various restrictions.
According to “The Marijuana Policy Project (MPP)”, an American organization that seeks the legalization of marijuana nationwide, the only states where it is considered completely illegal are Alabama, Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, North Carolina, Carolina South, Tennessee and Wyoming.
In 16 states, marijuana is decriminalized for personal and medicinal use, which represents 31.37%. In the remaining 27 entities it has a mixed legal status, which means that it is accepted for medical use but not for recreational use; in fact; There are also states that only decriminalized Cannabidiol oil, used as an analgesic.
