President Vicente Fox did not sign a bill (due to pressure) that would legalize small amounts of drugs such as cocaine, heroin, LSD, ecstasy, marijuana, methamphetamines and peyote - a psychotropic cactus found in Mexico's northern deserts.
Measures such as the one Fox was so eager to sign just one day ago make no sense at all. On the one hand we are told to fight against the drug trade and on the other we have to allow consumption. Sales of the above mentioned drugs would have remained illegal, but the possesion in small amounts would be legal. Where is the distinction? To obtain a legal amount of drug, you would have to purchase it illegally. Where is the sense in that?
