420 marijuana plants found growing outside Mexican Senate

Mexico City’s warm and rainy summer climate helped spur the growth of a crop of marijuana plants outside the country’s Senate, according to news reports.

The reports noted 420 of the plants were found growing in a small park outside the Senate in Mexico City and news spread over social media. The plants were seeded by pro-legalization protesters earlier this year, according to a report by local daily 24 Horas.

The activists who originally planted the seeds are lobbying for the country to legalize marijuana and called the plants the “first non-clandestine plantation.”
