Hah, I never really thought of it that way. But all drugs aren't illegal everywhere in the U.S. Drug limitation is a state law... like did you know that in Rhode Island, weed is legal? It's not really smuggling if you take it to a place where the specified drug is legal. And we still aren't decided on putting the border on complete lockdown, are we?

I'm a Mexican I personally do not agree with the government about legalizing drugs. But the reason is not what you are thinking. The reason is that a maniac from the senate think that by legalizing drugs the drugs business will go down since it is now not illegal as log as you have the top quantity; but they are not thinking that there will be more drug addicts everywhere. i will be like buying cigarettes in the corner store.:(

I think they just believe in freedom. You should be able to do anything you want, as long as you aren't hurting anyone.

Yow Joo

AGAIN...
No they DID NOT LEGALIZE ANYTHING!!!
I am going to explain what happened exactly: In Mexico the possession for personal and imediate use of Drugs has been always legal. This was permited in the penal code. The Drugs issue is a federal issue according to the health law. Now, There is a huge problem with drug dealing in small amounts in discos, schools, etc... And because this is a federal issue, the local police can not fight this kind of small drug dealing. So, what the Congress of Mexico did is 1) open the possibility of concurrent faculties between federation and local governments to fight drug dealing and 2) to determine the exact amount of drug allowed for personal and immediate consum. The last is legal ONLY when it is proved that you are a Drug Adict and you have a medical prescription for the usage of the permited amount of Drugs. This means that NO. there was no legalization of Drugs in Mexico. Actually it was a reform to help the local governments fight small drug dealing and to sharpen the laws in order to avoid legal arguments for small drug dealing. I have already answered to this question somewhere else, and i had other info. But now i say i agree totally. And by the way, the persons that need drugs are sometimes also ex-soldiers or sick people (of cancer for example). that are drug adiccts because of pain killers. I find this human and correct.
So. Again. Do not state something with out knowing what is it about. In Mexican news there is no big issue about this theme...look Reforma, Televisa (esmas) or la Jornada.

BY The Way, I have just read that FOX did not accepted the law and vetoed it. So, do not worry. The "plan" is already broken... LOL

The drug plan hasn't passed yet. Parents of youths in the US went into a tiz when the plan was announced. Its doubtful that Presidente Fox will approve it. Anyone who tries to smuggle drugs into the US is an idiot. I'm curious as to how Mexico would "get back at us"? Look at www.gringogazettenorth.com for more info.

Nope, it wonÂ´t go through congress. No problem.

By the way, mexicans donÂ´t have to figure put a way to get back at americans... they already own the americans!
