Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico The final results of the referendum on the regulation of marijuana in Jalisco indicate that most of the participants agreed with the medical use of the drug, but not increasing the permissible amounts for personal use.

A total of 13,662 people from 125 municipalities in the state participated in the poll, 8,303 of which (60.77%) were in favor of cannabis being used therapeutically in Jalisco; while 5,359 (39.22%) were against legalizing medicinal marijuana.

Results from the second part of the proposal, which purported increasing the legal possession amount for personal use from 5 to 30 grams of marijuana, indicate that 8,319 (60.90%) were against the increase and 5,341 (39.09%) were in favor; two electorates failed to answer this question.

El Instituto Electoral y de Participación Ciudadana, responsible for organizing the consultation, reported that this exercise cost $300,000 pesos, which was paid by the PRD-Jalisco, as one of its deputies, Enrique Velázquez, asked for the poll to be realized before presenting the initiative to regulate marijuana in the state.
