A marijuana user smokes inside a protest cannabis garden next to Mexico's Senate building, during a call for legalisation, using the garden as a tolerant and safe place to smoke in Mexico City, Mexico, on September 24, 2020. [Reuters]A cannabis ‘garden’ sprouting next to Mexico’s Senate building has become a smoker’s paradise, with Mexican stoners lighting up joints without fear of arrest. “Being able to smoke here (in the garden) in freedom is very important to me,” said Marco Flores, a barista sitting on a bench overlooking the Congress building. But in the garden run by pro-marijuana activists, people are allowed in for 30 minutes at a time and can light up in peace. “They can come and check it out.”For Jose Rivera, a cannabis activist, the garden is a tool to educate and offer ‘human rights’.
