On August 4th, the Government of Mexico City officially announced the relocation of several tolerated public cannabis consumption spots, according to Ecoportal. These spaces (which are not dispensaries or European-style coffee shops) function instead as gathering zones: places of visibility, activism, and rights in action, where different communities come together to express themselves, get organized, and consume cannabis openly. Their existence wasn’t gifted or random; they were born from years of struggle, resistance, and dialogue with cannabis collectives.
