 During the official commencement of his first 100 days in office, the President of Costa Rica, Rodrigo Chaves, announced a plan to legalize recreational cannabis.
President Chaves announced that the initiative will soon be sent to Congress for their review. Getting approval will not be easy, as many political parties have opposed cannabis legalization in the past. However, other parties are willing to decriminalize marijuana consumption and hope there will be an open and transparent dialogue. Costa Rican residents are divided, as well, with some believing that legalization is the best choice, and others think it’s not the best option for the country. Medical legalization has already been approved by the previous Congress, and so President Chaves and his new administration are currently working on those regulations and will have that published shortly.
