I haven't heard any thing about this.. Do you have a link or more info?:confused:
wow, its been on the front pages of the papers, and on the news for the last 3 days ... I think its much ado about nothing ... reading deeper into the news headlines, reveals the Mexican Congress is taking that step to establish guidelines for drug arrests ... apparently, they did not have established amounts to convict under, so these new laws are simply clarification to aid enforcement and permit more convictions ... they were concerned that too many drug arrests were dismissed, due to confusion as to the amounts required for conviction ... funny, I didn't know Mexico was so concerned about 'fair' justice ... just my opinion, but I predict lots of gringos are going to be very surprised to find these 'new permissive' laws won't necessarily be extended to tourists, ... :smokin:
Not to tourist in the open but at least when they sell to you they will not get in as much trouble. That should bring the price down a bit too.
It's been a while sense I was in TJ that's for sure. Maybe it's time for a trip this summer.

Hey guys, I found this interesting article:::

(there's a copy/paste of it at the end of my post)
Honestly, I think we're getting screwed. I'm no political analyst, or super-pro follower of geopolitics and stuff... BUT, here's my take:
From what I read, they're decriminalizing (or, passing a Bill that attempts to do that) marijuana, cocaine, and heroin.
Think about that... how many of us are pro-Cocaine decriminalization? How about heroin-decriminalization?
I know I ain't up for it.
So, by the mere action, of Mexico bundling up these three drugs, in ONE Bill, I'm thinking that the other two drugs are going to sink marijuana's success possibilities.
The Bill will be revoked in the future, and the "history" books will write that in 2006-2007, Marijuana was "attempted to be decriminalized in Mexico", but it failed miserably. Go figure.
A Bill that decriminalizes Cannabis would be much better, IMO.
Please people, post your opinions/comments/ideas/arguments/etc regarding this rant. :)
Peace to all,

Mexico move toward decriminalization threatens anti-drug efforts with U.S.
Saturday, April 29, 2006
BY MARK STEVENSON
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEXICO CITY -- Mexico's Congress approved a bill yesterday decriminalizing possession of small quantities of drugs for personal use -- including cocaine and even heroin -- raising potential questions about joint U.S.-Mexican anti-narcotics operations.
The only step remaining was the signature of President Vicente Fox. His office indicated he would sign the bill, which Mexican officials hope will allow police to focus on large-scale trafficking operations rather than minor drug busts.
"This law gives police and prosecutors better legal tools to combat drug crimes that do so much damage to our youth and children," said Fox's spokesman, Ruben Aguilar.
If Fox signs the measure and it becomes law, it could strain the two countries' cooperation in anti-drug efforts -- and increase the vast numbers of vacationing students who visit Mexico.
Oscar Aguilar, a Mexico City political analyst, said Fox appeared almost certain to sign the law -- his office proposed it, and his party supports it -- and that he had apparently been betting that it would not draw much notice.
"That's probably why they (the Senate) passed it the way they did, in the closing hours of the final session," Aguilar said. "He's going to sign it. ... He's not going to abandon his party two months before the (presidential) election."
U.S. officials scrambled to come up with a response to the bill.
"The United States and Mexico have a strong history of counternarcotics cooperation, and the Fox administration has taken a firm stand against illegal drug cultivation, trafficking and abuse," said Janelle Hironimus, a State Department spokeswoman. She said the department was trying to get "more information" about the measure.
One U.S. diplomat who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly said "any effort to decriminalize illegal drugs would not be helpful."
The bill, passed in the early morning hours by Mexico's Senate on a 53-26 vote with one abstention, has already been approved in the lower house of Congress. It also stiffens penalties for trafficking and possession of drugs -- even small quantities -- by government employees or near schools, and maintains criminal penalties for drug sales.

But they didn't do it for medicine. Or any of the right reasons really. Other then there main goal to stop the confusion. Like Image Reaper said.
And I think Your right too Zandor. It probably will bring down the price and there will probably be more drug dealers selling to Gringo's now. Because they could just carry a little bit at a time with no worries. We'll see. I think that is the only thing that will change.
The thing about Legalizing Heroin and coke and drugs like that is pretty crazy. They obviously can't afford to jail them anymore.
I strongly think that they should be able to have more then 4 joints!
Another possibility is that the Mexicans want to say "Fuck You" to the USA because of all the immigrant-related issues that have happened lately.
LEGALIZE it ALLLLLLLLLL
quit telling people what to do...
when the government has laws they can not enforce... it is time to get rid of the laws..
People who do heroin or crack are not criminals , give them the shit without making them MUG my MOM....
then offer them help.. through programs and hospitals... but sure as fuck don't putthem in jail with VIOLENT CRIMINALS..
iloveyou
Good point, I didn't think about that.Quote:

Thanks turtle...hehe
it took more words for you to tell me that then if he just said so in the first place......lol.....roflmao
That's actually very excellent news...
Now when spring breakers go to Mexico, the cops won't be able to exploit the college students by placing drugs on them, and then arresting them and locking them up for days until they pay up (oh, it does happen).
Of course the cops will probably find something else to set people up with. But at least they can buy weed now without going to jail :)
just came on the news, Vicente Fox refused to sign the Bill, sent it back to their Congress, for "re-wording' ..... the Fix is in ... ;)
WORD!!!!
lol!!!!!
