Over 5 million people visit Puerto Rico each year, attracted by its beaches, food, and outdoor activities. However, questions remain about cannabis legalization on the island.
In 2013, efforts to decriminalize marijuana were met with significant public opposition, revealing cultural resistance despite changing norms around cannabis use in the U.S.
Governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla's 2015 executive order allowing medical cannabis usage marked a turning point in how Puerto Rico approaches cannabis legislation.
Despite the benefits of being a U.S. territory, Puerto Rico lacks a formal voice in Congress, making its legal challenges, such as cannabis, more complex.
