Mexico decriminalizes small-scale drug possession :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: World

This is not a very smart way to capitalize on additional revenue for this government. If they would just legalize marijuana, Mexico's economy will see an uptick. As for the "harsher drugs", they have to have a major crackdown.
Common sense tells you that giving a "crack-head" or junkie a pass to continue criminal activity, is just a bad move. Those "hard-drug" users are the ones on the path of self-destruction. Some can overcome the habit, but many don't. They either die from an overdose, or get killed attempting to rob, or steal from a person that isn't going to stand for it.
In all honesty, Mexico and the United States, needs to seriously consider the legalization of marijuana. The argument time, and time again is the increase in revenue for states, counties, and villages across the land. We are talking billions of dollars a year folks. Imagine the additional police, fire, doctors, teachers, "EMT's, social workers, and treatment specialist such extra revenue can generate.
Mexico needs to re-think this bad strategy. The United States, needs to legalize marijuana, and show the rest of the world how to put that extra revenue to use.
