    "In general the U. S. media treated this as a counter-intuitive move made in the midst of a full-scale war between drug cartels and the Mexican state.

    But it is precisely the bloodiness of that war that has Mexico moving away from ideological prohibitionism.

    The idea is to cut into demand by treating addicts as potential treatment clients rather than criminals, to fight corruption among the police by taking away one of their major tools for shaking down the poor and marginalized and to concentrate resources on organized crime."

    • Sounds great but they are getting rich manufacturing meth to sell here...not as much in Mexicoukit
