Mexico Senate OKs bill to legalize drug possesion
Well, let's try this again... Mexico's Senate approved a bill on Tuesday decriminalizing possession of small amounts of narcotics for personal use, in order to free resources to fight violent drug cartels. Mexico's Congress passed a similar proposal in 2006 but the bill was vetoed by Calderon's predecessor Vicente Fox, under pressure from the United States, which said it would increase drug abuse, but now is worried by the drug-related violence along its border.
So now, most importantly, the US and team Obama need to get with the program and start talking about legalization of pot or at least start with decriminalization here. Only by allowing production of pot here in the US will marijuana purchasing from Mexico decrease.
This would truly be an opportunity for the U.S. to become a "kinder, gentler nation" to quote George Bush the 1st. Spread the word friends.
