Colombia Chamber of Representatives Passes Cannabis Legalization Bill – Reference from: High Times

On May 8, the Colombian Chamber of Representatives passed a cannabis legalization bill. In the sixth of eight discussions, the bill was passed with a 98-57 vote. In Colombia, legislative acts require eight debates, and in the most recent discussion, it needed 95 votes to move forward.

The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration, for the last two discussions. If passed, it would be sent to Colombian President Gustavo Petro.

Colombia, Once Epicenter of Drug Battles, Considers Legalizing Cannabis – Reference from: Axios

If the proposal succeeds, Colombia will join several other Latin American nations in fully decriminalizing or legalizing cannabis use.

This is the closest the country has come to legalizing recreational weed after three failed attempts since 2018. Medical cannabis is legal for use and exportation.

Petro, a leftist, has long criticized prohibitive drug policies and previously said he favors legalization, but he has not commented on whether he’ll sign the bill if it passes. He says he wants to avoid meddling in the process.
