Marinol and Mexico: Do they Mix??

Does anyone know the regulatory nature of Marinol in Mexico i.e., if one has a US prescription, can one go down and purchase Marinol in Mexico? I am guessing that transport of the medication across US boarders is going into murkier waters, but if it consumed in Mexico, I wonder if it can be dispensed?...
Any help or advice would is greatly needed and appreciated.
Cheers.
