MEXICAN PRESIDENT TAKES STAND AGAINST MARIJUANA

MEXICO CITY - President Enrique Pena Nieto came out against 
legalizing marijuana Wednesday, the same day his government announced 
a national public debate on the issue.

He suggested the recent, informal debate on the issue has created 
confusion. Mexico's Supreme Court ruled in November that growing, 
possessing and smoking marijuana for recreation is legal under the 
right to freedom, but that ruling applied only to the four people 
involved in the case.
