A bit less organized and official than Amsterdam, but legal none-the-less (to smoke).

i mean time will tell.

but this is going to skyrocket organized crime, as it isnt just "smoke" that being decriminalized.

ill try to look on the bright side, but this could easily become a haven for junkies on our side near the border. i just dont see positive consequences without government control.

It actually won't change. I did some research and found out that under the laws prior to this new one, anyone who was "addicted" was free from prosecution for personal use, except a judge could punish someone if they didn't think they were addicted (or if they thought it would help). This new law just changes "addicted" to include "all users", so now judges can't pick and choose who to prosecute.

youre refusing to acknowledge the fact that there is someone who has to supply the new legalized drugs.

and the distribution is still a crime, so this will massively increase the amount of organized crime, as mexico is a relatively cheap tourist locale, and people will be needed these drugs.

Yeah someone does. And someone did. And it's going to be the same people, as drugs are already all over place in Mexico.

It's not that I'm refusing to acknowledge it, it's that since the area is already saturated with cheap drugs and really lax drug laws, I don't see how it's going to 'increase' the demand. The demand is already going strong, and I think you're over-estimating the amount of new tourists, as people already go there to get messed up since the laws are so lax and the drugs so cheap and plentiful. So in my mind, given the existing conditions, all that changes are that instead of having a *pretty good* chance of not being incarcerated, now you've got no chance. Mexico is just acknowledging that their anti-drug measures as of now are a complete failure and just need to stop; as like I said the drugs are all already all over the place. You wanna talk about organized crime in Mexico? The motherfucking cartels and shit have actually bought entire armies before. There are numerous instances where army vehicles are caught aiding drug runners moving product into the US. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/arti...4/203609.shtml Corruption is already massive, it's not going to change in my mind.

yeh, one of my roomie's who used to smoke daily said when he was in mexico his friend walked onto their tour bus and was like "dude, check this out, that dude over there just sold me this for like 10 bucks" and pulled out a fat 2 oz. of schwagg. He said it tasted like shit, but it got them both pretty blazed after 2.5 bowls, so it wasn't a bad deal.

Ah, Mexican mota is the worst. Everything is cheap down there, you could already buy most of the drugs there at pharmacies, now they are allowing the "controlled substances" to cease trafficking, which i'm not sure about. MX is a good alternative to finding china white w/out having to go half way around the world. Maybe now though i can find el negro for 10 pesos or cheaper, who's with me? VIVE!!!

well, the bill did go back to the Congress earlier to change the wording of the bill due to US officials urging the government to be afraid of such "drug tourism."
I'm sure they're at least aticipating that this'll happen, bug who knows.
