Mexico Legalizes Drug Possession

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico enacted a controversial law on Thursday decriminalizing possession of small amounts of marijuana, cocaine, heroin and other drugs while encouraging government-financed treatment for drug dependency free of charge.

The law sets out maximum “personal use” amounts for drugs, also including LSD and methamphetamine. People detained with those quantities will no longer face criminal prosecution; the law goes into effect on Friday.

Anyone caught with drug amounts under the personal-use limit will be encouraged to seek treatment, and for those caught a third time treatment is mandatory — although no penalties for noncompliance are specified.

Mexican authorities said the change only recognized the longstanding practice here of not prosecuting people caught with small amounts of drugs.

The maximum amount of marijuana considered to be for “personal use” under the new law is 5 grams — the equivalent of about four marijuana cigarettes. Other limits are half a gram of cocaine, 50 milligrams of heroin, 40 milligrams for methamphetamine and 0.015 milligrams of LSD.

President Felipe Calderón waited months before approving the law.

That just means that more people will be incline to use drugs and yes the dealer makes more money and crime rate goes up. Over in California they want to relase inmates whome smuggled drugs and used drugs and are known terroist and *** offenders. Sounds like an excellent combination. Arizona peeps, I hope your ready for some major BS when these Phucks decide to relocate here and run drugs ect. With no jobs and phucked up economy, that makes for an armegedon type enviorment down here. Anyone here disaggree, please elaborate your opinion.
