Drug policy in Mexico

Mexico’s drug policy aims to reduce violence, improve public health, and disrupt criminal organizations. While drug consumption remains illegal, recent reforms focus on decriminalizing small quantities of certain drugs for personal use, emphasizing treatment over punishment. The government is also working to strengthen law enforcement and judicial efforts against large-scale drug trafficking. These policies aim to balance security with human rights and health considerations, recognizing the complex social and economic factors involved in drug issues. Overall, Mexico continues to evolve its approach to better address the root causes and consequences of drug-related activities.
