About Mexican Supreme Court Decision..... On Wednesday, the Mexican Supreme Court handed down a ruling that some experts say could pave the way for the eventual legalization of marijuana, a drug that has spawned countless drug cartels and led to increased violence and organized crime in the country, the New York Times reports. The case: Mexico's Supreme Court ruled in favor of four anti-crime activists with the group Mexico United Against Crime. The case, which was opened in 2013, concerned an instance where regulators prohibited the advocacy group from growing cannabis, Reuters reports. The court decided that, in the case of all four activists, denying citizens permission to grow cannabis for personal use was unconstitutional. "If ... this Supreme Court is taking such an important step toward legalization of drugs, or at least some of them, I suggest that we are equally careful and responsible in crafting a ruling of the same magnitude," Judge Jose Ramon Cossio, who voted in favor of the measure, said of the ruling, according to Reuters. The ruling did not make consuming marijuana legal in Mexico, however it could set the precedent for future rulings that could lead to full-scale marijuana legalization......snip~ http://news.yahoo.com/mexico-marijuana-legalization-2015-5-224943295.html Well, what do you think of this? Mexico has been decriminalizing since 2009. Now they have a ruling from their Supreme Court. I think we will be seeing more marijuana coming into the Country. What say ye?
They are seeing our LEGAL markets opening up and positioning themselves to take advantage of that fact. I don't blame them one bit.
At this point, the only rational approach is to treat marijuana the same way we treat tomatoes. Grow 'em any way you want to, sell 'em any way you want to, buy 'em at grocery stores if you want to, put 'em on pizza if you want to.
How can you say that after Ohio.....just rejected the idea of Legalizing, decriminalizing, marijuana? Over 2/3rds against.
It will be some patchwork then. But then the Repubs candidates did say, they would enforce Federal law.
Amazingly we agree on this. Put an age limit on it just like home-brewed beer, wine, etc. Watch the criminality associated with it evaporate. Tomatoes were once thought to be poisonous.
