Mexico allotment

AllotmentMedical patients only

There is no fixed national gram-based allotment for patients; instead, access is granted on a case-by-case basis through individual import permits for specific medical products. Patients must apply for these permits through COFEPRIS to legally obtain their prescribed medicine.

  • Access is determined by individual COFEPRIS authorization for specific medical needs.
  • Patients must hold a valid prescription from a qualified medical professional.
  • Home growing is not permitted under the medical access framework.
  • Personal import permits are the primary legal mechanism for obtaining medicine.

Cannabis law in Mexico

Legal — medical use

Mexico has a medical cannabis programme regulated by COFEPRIS that allows for the use of cannabis-based medications for therapeutic purposes. Patients must obtain a prescription from an authorized healthcare professional and secure specific authorization from COFEPRIS to access these treatments, which often involves importing approved products.

  • Patients must obtain a medical prescription from a licensed physician.
  • Access is primarily facilitated through individual import permits issued by COFEPRIS.
  • There is no nationwide network of retail dispensaries for medical cannabis.
  • Commercial sale and distribution of cannabis remain prohibited under general law.
  • The programme focuses on pharmaceutical-grade products rather than raw flower.
