MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - the measure passed 53-26 to allow possession small amounts of marijuana, cocaine and heroin for personal use. The aim is to let police focus on their battle against major drug dealers. President Fox expected to sign it into law.
" I would say any law that decriminalizes dangerous drugs is not very helpful," said Judith Bryan, spokeswoman for the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City. "Drugs are dangerous. We don't think it is the appropriate way to go "
under the new law, police will not penalize people for possessing up to 5 g of marijuana, 5 g of opium, 25 mg of heroine or 500 mg of cocaine.
The changes will also decriminalize the possession of live the qualities of other drugs, which include LSD, hallucinogenic mushrooms and amphetamines [go get them sleepy Ted]
well that should draw some of our bad guys like a magnet to Mexico

Hot damn, a reason to move back home! Think it will work?
Uh, the war on drugs is about as stupid and ineffectual as the war on terrorism. (There's a reason they both rhyme with MORON!)
What is your point? It's hard to tell (not a good sign for a blogger!)
Actually, I'm thinking that this will just drive more and more to the north, and all with good excuses:
After all, as the Mexican Consul has stated in Portland, child rape is really just a matter of "cultural differences". I'm sure that the same argument will apply to drugs.
