I think it was a couple years ago and included small amounts of cocaine & heroin. Good luck with that though.....

I would assume it's highly illegal. Could be MAJOR mordita if caught by a Mex cop, regardless of the law.

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.

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.

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?

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

To make sure the privatized prison industry can turn an obscene profit, that's why.
There most certainly is but one side to every story: the TRUTH. Variations of it are nothing but lies.

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.
Know someone in Pesky who was stopped, and the cops took his stash, and without his knowledge, smart phone.

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...

Made it through the legislature in 2008, signed into law in 2009. Has no effect on me, just passing info along.

Reports from Copper Canyon will disagree with this statement as will the story of Gen. Rebollo along with many, many others:

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.
