Seems to me, the Mex. government legalized pot, in the last year or so. is this correct, or not? Ateo - 8-10-2013 at 11:08 AM
I think it was a couple years ago and included small amounts of cocaine & heroin. Good luck with that though.....SFandH - 8-10-2013 at 11:11 AM
I would assume it's highly illegal. Could be MAJOR mordita if caught by a Mex cop, regardless of the law.DENNIS - 8-10-2013 at 11:27 AM
That had little or nothing to do with foreigners. Mexico was just getting fed up with cluttering their jails with penny ante criminals. The US
should do the same, but won't.
The human rights groups are starting to have an effect [a small effect] on the jail system here and the governments are having to feed prisoners....in
some areas, so less mouths to feed, less expense.Lee - 8-10-2013 at 11:59 AM

In CA it's County by County, same in CO. Not sure about WA. Denver metro has pharmacies on every block. These states are leading the way.
Who cares what Kansas or the Heartland is doing. On the other hand, don't get caught with doobage outside of CO, CA or WA.DENNIS - 8-10-2013 at 12:19 PM

Actually, it's federal which trumps all state and county aspirations.
Man....it would be confusing being a gay pot smoker in the US these days. They don't know where they're allowed to do anything anymore.

If by Ca, you mean California, it it illegal in the entire
State of Calif., obviously excluding the debated Marijuana
Clinics. Wash State I believe it essentially legal, As D
points out the Fed regs still classify weed in a class
of hard drugs, don't know why they continue the
war on weed?DavidE - 8-10-2013 at 12:39 PM

Possession of 5 grams or less is no longer a criminal offense in Mexico.

I know it's outlawed federally -- though some cities are continuing, in Colorado, to make it legal.
For example, in Breckingridge, CO, the Sheriff has been on television stating that he would not enforce laws against pot and has instructed his
deputies to ignore anyone smoking.
Greeley, CO, though, has stated they do not want dispensaries or potheads in their town.
Less than an ounce in Baja shouldn't be a problem. Think, like someone wrote, a morbid might be expected.

Again, checking with the US Consulate may reveal an extraordinarily rare reward...accuracy.
They will tell you how many citizens are in the state prison (the consular official has to visit them regularly). Such facts would be hard to argue
with.
Slam! Goes the cell door. You lose half your body weight and finally with a pasty complexion after being realeased without a peso to your name manage
to get ahold of the individual that said "it" was legal or could be bought off with a little bite.
"Well shucks, I was TOLD it was legal. I even read it somewhere. Sorry 'bout that!"
Got news for some folks The military can not be bought. Not for any kind of money the folks who use this forum could scrounge up. Ya think the
ministerio publico is going to settle for five thousand miserable lousy dollars. Risk his milk-barn position to reap bundles of pesos for a lousy five
grand or ten grand?
This is Darwinism at its finest. Go ahead make their day...55steve - 8-10-2013 at 05:16 PM
My understanding is that certain minute amounts are legal for Mexican citizens only
Before you believe responses here....and live by them......
Drug Penalties and Prescription Medications: Penalties for drug offenses are strict, and convicted offenders can expect large fines and jail sentences
of up to 25 years. The purchase of controlled medications requires a prescription from a licensed Mexican physician. Some Mexican doctors have been
arrested for writing prescriptions without due cause. In those instances, U.S. citizens who purchased the medications have been held in jail for
months waiting for the Mexican judicial system to make a decision on their case. Marijuana prescriptions (or “medical marijuana”) are not valid in
Mexico. Individuals in possession of a state medical marijuana license should remember that the license is not valid outside of the borders of that
state, and bringing marijuana into Mexico – even if it is accompanied by a prescription – is considered international drug trafficking, a serious
federal offense. The Mexican list of controlled medications differs from that of the United States, and Mexican public health laws concerning
controlled medications are unclear and often enforced selectively. To determine whether a particular medication is controlled in Mexico or requires a
prescription from a Mexican doctor for purchase, please consult the website of the Mexican Federal Commission for Protection against Health Risks
(Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios - COFEPRIS).
The U.S. Embassy cautions that possession of any amount of prescription medication brought from the United States, including medications to treat HIV,
and psychotropic drugs such as Valium, can result in arrest if Mexican authorities suspect abuse, or if the quantity of the prescription medication
exceeds the amount required for several days' use. Individuals are advised to carry a copy of the prescription. If significant quantities of the
medication are required, individuals should carry a doctor's letter explaining that the quantity of medication is appropriate for their personal
medical use.
Buying Prescription Drugs: Any drug classified as a controlled medicine, including antibiotics, by the government of Mexico cannot be purchased in
Mexico without a Mexican prescription. This prescription must be written by a physician who is federally registered in Mexico. Purchasing a controlled
medicine without a valid prescription in Mexico is a serious crime for both the purchaser and the seller. Purchasing a controlled medicine with a U.S.
prescription is not sufficient and is illegal, regardless of what the Mexican pharmacy may be willing to sell to the purchaser. By law, Mexican
pharmacies cannot honor foreign prescriptions. U.S. citizens have been arrested and their medicines confiscated by Mexican authorities when their
prescriptions were written by a licensed U.S. physician and filled by a licensed Mexican pharmacist. There have been cases of U.S. citizens buying
prescription drugs in border cities only to be arrested soon after or have money extorted by criminals impersonating police officers. Those arrested
are often held for the full 48 hours allowed by Mexican law without charges being filed, then released. During this interval, the detainees are often
asked for bribes or are solicited by attorneys who demand large fees to secure their release, which will normally occur without any intercession as
there are insufficient grounds to bring criminal charges against the individuals. In addition, U.S. law enforcement officials believe that as many as
25 percent of the medications available in Mexico are counterfeit and substandard. Such counterfeit medications may be difficult to distinguish from
the real medications and could pose serious health risks to consumers. The importation of prescription drugs into the United States can be illegal in
certain circumstances. U.S. law generally permits persons to enter the United States with only an immediate supply (i.e., enough for about one month)
of a prescription medication.

for you folks NOT in the know, the voters in washington state last november voted to legalize the recreational use of pot. ..it passed with a large
margin of "yes" votes...colorado did the same...it won't be long and all the states will recognize the archaic and ludicrous prohibition laws that
govern pot use and legalize it..no doubt in my mind...OR..we can legally walk into a store and buy a fifth of vodka and drink it in our car...you make
the choice.

Your argument just morphed from character to price. DavidE - 8-12-2013 at 02:52 PM
Dennis, Generals do not search cars. Our loving DEA actually pays Mexico a head price for busting gringos holding a minimum qty (unknown) of drugs. A
general who conveniently "moves" or "closes" a "Puesto de Control" for twenty thousand dollars and drugs move through is not in the same caliber as
ten soldados tying your hands behind your back with rough common twine. Unless you are MIGHTY wealthy and can hurl bundles of hundred dollar bills
around, el general ain't gonna know you even existed except as a typewritten note on the morning report. Even then UNLESS the bitten vets themselves
far in advance with lots of dead American presidents no general is going to take a bait of getting set up by the DEA and PGR.
Once you get pulled out of a car and the "processing" starts a person has had the course. The vehicle gets towed to a reten called a corralon federal
and it takes a small miracle plus the 11th commandment to get it freed. I know people whose vehicle went to a corralon federal and after a year and
five thousand dollars in attorney fees, fines, amparos, etc., the cars still sit there gathering dust.
I have a few friends in Michoacan whom are soldados or marinas. For the most part they are honest as hell and P*SSED OFF that gringo money has armed
their sworn enemies and monsters who prey on the public. I am supposed to laugh at the possibility that they are going to go blind and stupid if they
should find a roach in my ashtray?
This is NO BAIL, there are NO rights for the guilty until they find a way (with lots of money and time) to find themselves innocent.
It's like FIRE WALKING. "Oh Sugar! It Didn't Work! Well I Hear Today's Prosthesis Are Really Good" Old Dirty Harry said it best "Do You Feel Lucky?"
