In Puerto Rico, marijuana (cannabis) is legal for medical purposes but illegal for recreational purposes. Legislation to ban cannabis was passed in 1932, and legislation to legalize medical cannabis was passed in 2015. Although the medical use of marijuana is permitted, smoking the substance is not legal. Prohibition (1932)On 19 April 1932 Puerto Rico enacted Act 12, "An Act to Punish the Planting, Importation, Purchase, and Sale of Marijuana, and for Other Purposes" ({{lang-es|"Ley para castigar la siembra, importación, compra y venta de la marijuana, y para otros fines"}}).[1] The included penalties were a minimum of one month and maximum of one year in jail.[2] On May 13, 1934, Puerto Rico enacted Act No. 61, in keeping with the 1932 Uniform Narcotic Drug Act.[2] Attempted decriminalization (2013)In 2013 Representative José Báez proposed decriminalization, however polling by the newspaper El Nuevo Día indicated that 26% of those surveyed were in favor of decriminalization, with 70% against and 4% unsure.[3] Medical cannabis (2015)In May 2015, Governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla signed an executive order permitting the use of medical cannabis.[4] References1. ^{{cite book|author=Puerto Rico|title=Acts and Resolutions of Puerto Rico|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_8OwAAAAIAAJ|year=1935|publisher=Equity de Puerto Rico|pages=158–159}} {{Cannabis in the United States |state=expanded}}{{portalbar|Cannabis|Puerto Rico}}{{Social Policy in the United States|state=autocollapse}}{{Americas topic|Cannabis in}}{{Cannabis by country}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Cannabis in Puerto Rico}}2. ^1 {{cite book|author1=Sidney Kaye|author2=Gilbert W.
