By Amy Hansen, The Fresh Toast It is a popular tourist destination as part of the US, but what about consuming cannabis there? The locals have nothing against fun, the national drink of Puerto Rico is the Pina Coloda. Made with local rum, coconut cream, and pineapple juice. It’s often made without rum so that everyone can enjoy it.

A major shift occurred in 2015 when Governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla signed an executive order permitting the use of medical cannabis. This was followed in 2017 by the passage of Act 42-2017, officially legalizing cannabis for medicinal purposes in Puerto Rico The medical cannabis program established regulations for: While smoking cannabis remains prohibited, other forms of consumption are permitted for approved medical conditions. Recreational use of cannabis in Puerto Rico remains illegal.



Possession is considered a crime with some type of punishment. The Fresh Toast is a daily lifestyle platform with a side of cannabis. For more information, visit Copyright 2024 The Fresh Toast.
