Debate To Legalize Marijuana In Mexico After Drug War Death Toll Tops 28000
From: www.youtube.com August 13, 2010 A heated debate is underway among senior officials in Mexico over whether the government should legalise the use and sale of marijuana. The discussion comes as violence from competing drug cartels in the country continues to spiral out of control, claiming thousands of lives every year. Felipe Calderon, Mexico’s president, has said he is firmly against the legalisation, arguing that it would only create “millions” of more drug addicts. But Vicente Fox, the country’s former president and member of Calderon’s conservative National Action Party, has urged the government to legalise drugs in order to “break the economic structure that allows gangs to generate huge profits in their trade, which feeds corruption and increases their areas of power”. “We should consider legalising the production, distribution and sale of drugs” because “radical prohibition strategies have never worked,” he explained.

More people were killed in Juarez, Mexico in 2010 than were killed in Afghanistan. The killings are over the control of drug flow over into the United States. We need to figure out how to stop this evil.

If you decriminalize marijuana in Mexico, it will mean all these people died for nothing. Casualties are high right now, it’s a war! As we’ve been able to turn the tide on marijuana here in the United States, we’ll start to win in Mexico as well. Use rates in both countries is plummeting. The deaths of these people is one of the reasons my nine year old isn’t smoking marijuana right now!
