If this is true and they are going to open up shops to sell marihuana I hope they sell the good high concentrate delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol stuff
and not that crap they grow in the arroyos and canyons of Baja California. If I am going to smoke it for the first time I want a good doobie.

Somebody ought to legalize it. Tobacco's legal. Alcohol's legal. Jeez, half the kids in US schools are being dosed with this or that by their
so-called counselors. Bored in class? Dose 'em!!! Problems? Dose 'em. Legalize pot!!! Let the kids dose themselves!! By the way, I don't smoke pot,
but it ought to be legal.

Don't know if I'd hold my breath. Hmmm. Maybe for a few seconds. I recently read an article suggesting that decriminalizing or legalizing pot in
Mexico would actually go a long way to cut the demand being filled by the cartels. Surprisingly, Mexico has a rather high per capita use of pot.
However, the same article noted that while approximately 42% of Americans are for decriminalizing pot in the US, only about 20% of Mexicans felt the
same about decriminalizing in Mexico. But then, when has democracy ever really gotten in the way of the government?

On April 23,2009 Mexican Congress' last day in normal session and the same day President Felipe Calderon announced the swine flu pandemic, federal
legislators voted to decriminalize simple drug possession in Mexico. They passed the new drug law, along with about sixty other bills, with very
little debate despite their controversial nature. President Felipe Calderon has not yet signed the bill, but he is expected to.

It really doesn't seem that stoners are going to find their Valhalla in Mexico City any time soon. The legislation passed, but not yet signed by by
Calderone is similar to the legislation passed during the Fox administration. Fox did not sign it under pressure from the Bush administration.
I wonder how many nomads are aware that up until 1937, heroin, cocaine and marijuana were not illegal in the US. With the repeal of prohibition, the
same folks that fought long and hard for temperance, turned their attention to the aforementioned drugs. Later, it was that cuddly Nixon guy who
really turned down the screws on marijuana as he felt that the "hippies" and other slackers were creating problems for him. That's when pot found
itself as classed among the worst of drugs, with penalties being draconian. Fact is, as far as Nixon is concerned, he ran his campaign on ending the
Viet Nam war. And he won. But when he tried to run his next campaign on the same agenda, alot of folks weren't buying his BS. There's obviously a long
and difficult history with the Viet Nam war. It has been detailed often about the villification of the GIs who fought there. But much less about the
fact that pot was widely available and freely used by our troops in Nam. I know. I was there.

Come on up and try some B.C. bud. (not that I would have any idea of whether it is any good or not )
Remember, when in Mexico, yes may be no and no may be
maybe!

If Mex. City really does legalize it, it won't be long before Guadalajara, Guaymas, San Carlos, Cabo San Lucas, La Paz, Loreto all follow suit. Can
you just visualize the hoards of bonked out teenagers driving along MEX 1 in Baja with their music turnred up full blast,weaving their way among the
yellow lanes and Potholes. Yikes!!! ++C++

These are the folks who could have long ago cemented their stake as the worlds biggest destination if they had only legalized casino gambling. You
really think you're gonna be able to buy pot legally?
