| 0:30.0 | I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't |
| 1:00.0 | know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do, |
| 1:30.0 | and I thought I would go ahead and start this week in Mexico where Mexico is set to legalize |
| 1:38.7 | marijuana becoming the world's largest market, how about that? Law makers in Mexico have |
| 1:44.7 | approved a bill that happened Wednesday night to legalize recreational marijuana. Clearly |
| 1:49.9 | a milestone for a country which has been in the throws of a drug war for decades now |
| 1:56.8 | leaving the United States between two countries that have now legalized marijuana. Of course, Canada did it already. |
| 2:04.2 | Now in Mexico, this was a |
| 2:07.3 | 316 to |
| 2:09.3 | 129 vote in Mexico's lower house, the Chamber of Deputies. |
| 2:13.9 | And that came more than two years after the Mexican Supreme Court ruled that the country's ban on recreational |
| 2:20.5 | marijuana was unconstitutional and more than three years |

| 2:47.9 | President Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador, of course, Amelow, |
| 2:52.5 | who has signaled support for this legalization. |
| 2:56.6 | So this measure would allow adults to smoke marijuana and with a permit grow a small number of cannabis plants at home. |
| 3:04.4 | Additionally, you would grant licenses for producers from small farmers to commercial farmers to then cultivate and sell the crop. |
| 3:13.9 | So if assuming this goes through Mexico will join Canada, |
| 3:18.3 | and Uruguay in a small but growing list of countries that have legalized marijuana in the Americas. |
