Mexico legalizes drugs!
 

No dreadlocked revelers smoked celebratory reefers in the streets, no armies of conservatives protested, the Mexican media raised no hullabaloo. Quietly and with little ado, Mexico last week enacted a law to decriminalize possession of small amounts of all major narcotics, including marijuana, cocaine, heroin, ecstasy and crystal meth. Anyone caught in Mexico with two or three joints or about four lines of cocaine can no longer be arrested, fined or imprisoned. However, police will give them the address of the nearest rehab clinic and advise them to get clean.

decrim is not legalization. however, it is a good start.

what to do in country with minimum of education and full of drug wars

butt that would mean less killings, and that would increase population..
:upsidedow

They just need better looking girls and I'm there...

there's a good and a bad side to this.

Good: once this law is 100% accepted, pharmacies may start selling drugs in small amounts, which will get rid of the small dealers. This will cut back on street corner killings and little vendettas.

Bad: small-time dealers won't be put in jail (while they're still around and peddling); in addition to this, people will use drugs more openly and driving under their influence.

There are hot Latinas there, but you won't like them because they're preppy and complain about everyone and anything, and never shut up about it all day until you get them in bed at night..and then most of them don't like you going down on them..:Oh crap

Congrats to all Mexicans!

so with you on this.

Great! I'll move right down there tomorrow.












NOT.

this is why I posted that decrimming small amounts on possession doesnt really fix anything, "dealers" are still arrested and the "war on drugs" continue, except the average "user" wont be put in jail, however MILLIONs and MILLIONS of dollars are spent every day still prosecuting drug crimes.

weed has been decrimmed in california for over 30 years, dealers are still arrsted, has nothing to do with "dealers wont be put in jail" - it only applies to "small amounts of possession" - translated: nothing really changes except the jails are overcrowded.

However, your idea that if we decrim that means more will do drugs is absurd. California has been decrim for over 30 years and the stats show that access to drugs does NOT increase the use their of. Thats like saying because alcohol is legal, everyone drinks, not the case. Legalization or decriminalization does not increase drug use.

In fact, Cali has seen DECREASE in teen marijuana use after medical marijuana laws have been passed. :)

you're a couple days late on this:

No, it's because the women look like female versions of RyuLion.

well yeah... lets get excited about new drug laws in a failed state run by narco terrorists as if its relevant to anything or somehow some indication of progressiveness.

makes perfect sense.

oh wait... making small amounts legal increases sales for those who sell large amounts.

:1orglaugh

I'm sure cops will still try to get bribes from foreigner....

i got a 40$(all i had in my pocket) "fine" from mexican beach cops .. jsut cause we were sitting next to a group smoking 1 joint and they told us we were all in trouble even if the guys were German and not with us at all...

smoke all day!

Here is the cost of the "war on drugs" in the USA.
$33,467,509,542this year and counting

Hmm, that's interesting...

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

That is good news.

No.. Now I think we have a new sort of war coming.

Good for the mexicans.

Go with what works!!

A good Fajitas and a doble xx after a fat ones is always good :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Thats great for Mexicans, governments need to learn being far from sheep herding mentality, this law has some bugs though :)

Edit: i don't do drugs but what i believe is, Governments should stop deciding instead of adult peeps for what to do or not, i don't think a group of deputies smarter then whole population.

"why were you over the border?"
"whats a border mister talking cactus with a rainbow hat?"
"fuck"

its only a matter of time before they make weed legal in the united states, that would be the business to get into, a pot farmer :2 cents:

yea the dealers killing each other, then the country can be taken back over by a real government and make it legal and sell it their self. they would have full control over the people and no dealers anymore because the tweekers can just get it from the store.

Because of narcotics? :disgust

They are trying to decrim in austin- now the cops have the option to give a ticket becuase the prisons were overloaded with college kids smoking pot...not the most threatening bunch to society!!!

Interesting move.

great news! do you live in austin too?

I agree, though this will still end up saving the courts some money in the end. So much money and time is wasted processing people that have been busted for personal use... these people will at least not be clogging up the courts and draining resources. Not to mention their lives won't be ruined for getting busted doing a line or two or smoking a joint.
