mexico legalizes drug usage

Mexican lawmakers passed a sweeping new drug law early Friday that would crack down on small-time dealers, legalize the possession of small quantities of drugs and mandate treatment for addicts.

Under the bill, it would be legal to have 25 milligrams of heroin, a fifth of an ounce of marijuana or half a gram of cocaine. The bill also makes it legal to possess small amounts of LSD, hallucinogenic mushrooms, amphetamines and peyote.

+ Show Spoiler +



I usually never post news articles, but I thought this was an interesting one and amidst of the flu epedimic thing going on worldwide. Mexico has had a huge drug problem for a while with many police officers having been killed by the drug traffickers, but I see this as a step backwards. Not to mention the implications this will have on the US-Mexico relations.

Thoughts on this? Anyone planning to go to Mexico just to get high now that it's legal?

EDIT:OK. I'm not an idiot. I was having an MSN conversation with uncle in Mexico the drug law was proposed in 2006 and PASSED yesterday. Haven't found an article yet but when I do I will update.

Crack is good for your immune system. This might be the only way to stop the flu. I mean how many crackheads have you seen sick? Those guys will be out in the middle of a blizzard in shorts, and sandals and still not even sneeze.

I agree with this. I mean, how are we ever going to stop AIDS unless we let it enter our bodies so our system can learn to fight it?

Thanks, but that's basically the same article from the same year that I posted. Its from 2006 can't seem to find anything too current. Maybe it's just getting swept under the rug due to the swine flu. =/

What they need to do is legalize the production and sales of drugs. That will stop those drug lords right in their tracks. They won't be so exclusive anymore. Actually it wouldn't stop them because there would still be a huge market in the US, but if we legalized it as well then there would be no more drug lords.

Drugs are only a problem when people can't handle only having it in moderation and some of the drugs they legalized don't easily lend themselves to moderation.. I can see this being a potentially huge problem for the mexican citizens and I can also see the US not being too happy about this law.

That would be great for combating the drug lords and it would be terrible for the citizens who become addicted and piss their life away chasing the magic dragon so to speak.... You know... you never catch the dragon.

They need to legalize production and trade. Maybe even of hard drugs. That will put all those criminals instantly out of business.

Same would be true if everyone just stopped using them. But that's not going to happen, sadly.

This is terrible. The only good thing about this experiment is that it's not happening in America. Once the liberals see what terrible consequences legalized drugs bring, there won't be talk about legalizing marijuana in America again.

This is a step backwards? Yeah right, maybe it seems that way since US drug policy is ass-backwards.
