On Tuesday, the Congress of Costa Rica voted to legalize cannabis. The legislation now proceeds to President Carlos Alvarado to sign.
Independent lawmaker Zoila Volio called this a milestone and stated that cannabis legalization would not increase drug use, quoted as saying, “I trust that President Alvarado has understood that and will not veto it,”.
The bill outlines production and processing but does not regulate recreational use.
Should the President veto the bill, lawmakers would be required to vote again to pass legalization with a qualified majority.
