Mexico’s Congress approved a bill Friday decriminalizing possession of small amounts of marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine and heroin for personal use — a measure sure to raise questions in Washington about Mexico’s commitment to the war on drugs.

Pugrit, moved to Serious Discussion.

Has to make for one interesting Cinco De Mayo, I must say. None the less, I bet the columbian cartel is celebrating for that one. Must've had some lobbiests... Mexico's Jack Abramoff ;p

now, thats a big fat lie, or no one told cops we can use ¬¬

We don´t really need them, we do just fine :

This move by the Mexican government has probably spruced up thier economy a bit, since now a majority of the people there can harvast marjuana legally, its going to give the poor more money, for lack of better words. Plus I'm sure the drug dealers and transporters should be happy also, but also im pretty sure the DEA is pissing in thier pants. But point is good move on the Mexican gov't's behalf.

Maybe its retalitiation for whats usa is doing to the borders, since no illegal imagrints = less money for mexico familys and maybe it will lower the economy over there so legalizing drgus might bring it back up and perhaps bring illegal imagrints from usa over to mexico :X , Drugs are bad but as long as they do it over there im fine with it.

(i didnt spell check)

Excuse me? Drugs are bad but as long they do it in mexico it's alright?

You're either for or against, you can't say they're bad in your country but good in others.

Well if its legal in mexico why would it be bad? its illegal in the usa so that makes it bad, if it was legal in the usa then i would say its ok.

as for drugs itself i think the majority are bad besides for marijuana since it can serve some good uses in the medical feild.

Still makes no sense, being bad or good doesn't have anything to do with the law. They just banned kissing in public someplace, are you saying kissing in public is bad?

There's no point on this topic, I already said that you can't have any with you nor grow pot plants on your garden, it's still illegal here trust me.


I think it was legal but only for a week or so.

I don't think that cannabis is useful for medical purposes. They use morphine for this. And anyway.. always better to legalize.

i personally think that the US should follow in their footsteps

I dont see way the legalization for personal use would be a problem, except for the way thay will say what amount is for personal and which is for dealing. I think that at least marijuana got to be legal, I'm not a user but I dont see what harm can it bring? Also I think that when something like that becomes legal, it will no longer be so attracting to people as before.

Smoking weed is not so bad I want to legalize it too
