MEXICO ISSUES INITIAL PERMITS FOR MARIJUANA

MEXICO CITY - The Mexican government on Friday granted the first 
permits allowing the cultivation and possession of marijuana for personal use.

The federal medical protection agency said the permits apply only to 
the four plaintiffs who won a favorable ruling from the Supreme Court 
last month. The court said growing and consuming marijuana is covered 
under the right of "free development of personality."

The permits don't allow the sale or distribution of the drug.
