QUIET VOTE ADVANCES PLAN TO DECRIMINALIZE SOME DRUGS IN MEXICO
MEXICO CITY -- Could Mexican cities become Latin Amsterdams, flooded by
drug users seeking penalty-free tokes and toots?
That is the fear, if somewhat overstated, of some Mexican officials,
especially in northern border states that serve as a mecca for
underage American drinkers.
The Mexican legislature has voted quietly to decriminalize the
possession of small amounts of pot, cocaine, methamphetamine and other
drugs, an effort that in the past was highly controversial.
