Barry, I don't know either what the "perfect" solution is. Education, but that then becomes the States to deal with. Good luck with that!:lol:

The fact that so many resources are poured into a so-called "war" forges the wrong message and with great expense. People with serious drug problems be it alcohol or meth have a disease that controls their life. They need treatment and help. Casual users on the other hand can help drive the economy.;D Remember the day when Humboldt County claimed their main income was generated by pot-growers. I just can't believe that it's their fault people graduated to coke, meth and heroin. Good grief, it's all about supply and demand.

Mexico certainly is taking a bold step. Defining the bad guys(not the guy with a joint) and instilling fear in those who cross the line(hope yer gram scale is accurate sir). may have some desired results. Cartels vieing for the void left when Arellanos Felix mob got busted. Now the ex-fed cops are the new Hefes on the block. That's scary as hell.

I was thinking about buying some land and building a place for retirement. Now I'm thinking about buying some land and opening an opium den. I could have some of the local kids solicting the tourists....I can see it now. Heck, I could offer some heroin to the kids in exchange for their daily pay...yea, this new law is a great idea.:?:

Baja boy, I hope you don't plan on retiring on the profits on selling that 5 grams of opium. Even then, you'd be in trouble for trafficking.

What's allowed:

Opium (raw, to be smoked) 5 grams
Heroin, 25 milligrams
Marijuana 5 grams
Cocaine 500 milligrams
LSD .015 milligrams
MDA 200 milligrams
MDMA (ecstasy) 200 milligrams
Mescaline: 1 gram
Peyote: 1 kilogram
Psilocybin (concentrate, pure, active ingredient) 100 milligrams
Hallucinogenic mushrooms (raw, off the farm): 250 milligrams
Amphetamines: 100 milligrams
Dexamphetamines: 40 milligrams
Phencyclidine (PCP, or Angel Dust) 7 milligrams
Methamphetamines: 200 milligrams
Nalbuphine (synthetic opiate): 10 milligrams

Does anyone have access to the text of the new legislation? It seems to address the issue of carrying. It no doubt is still illegal to use, and to be under the influence.

Good point-I won't sell the opium just charge a cover at the door. We can all shoot up and then drive home to spend some quality time with our kids. Okay, so would I go to jail if I borrowed a hit or two from the neighbor?

It was just announced that Fox did NOT sign the proposed decriminalization. He has sent it back requesting "changes" before he signs.

Your too late Bajaboy, the developers have already bought up all the land down here and I understand the signs (opium dens and the like) are being put up soon for next spring break, Ah, come to baja, we have it all and its' legal! And we all thought they were going to develop the land for the baby boomers, the jokes on us!

Support Fox in his original thinking


On thinking it over I believe that the laws would have been good for Baja. They would have attracted an even larger number of 'solid' citizens further south. Stoners abound from TJ past Ensenada. You can stumble over them in almost every camp. The Arizona crop heads down to the other side of the Sea.

Funny, Fox seemed to just change his mind at the last minute. Maybe someone up north made him an offer he couldn't refuse?

Yep, can't get away...even here, Bush/Cheney in charge!:lol:

Gosh, still like a bunch of hippes, "Hey, dude, ya know they're gonna legalize weed." Yeah. Right. Any decade now. :lol::lol:

Whatever. I'm retired. :lol:

Look at it from the chess point of view and I believe that you will see that he gave up a tendered rook for a castle or a bishop---We'll see!
