Vicente Fox is about to decriminalize personal usage amounts of cocaine and marijuana
This is not going to go over well with Bush's fundamentalist base. I remember a while back they were all in an uproar over Canada and pot.
May 2 (Bloomberg) -- Mexican President Vicente Fox's administration sought to dispel claims that a bill defining what quantities of drugs including cocaine and heroine amount to ``personal use'' would decriminalize or encourage drug abuse.
Presidential spokesman Ruben Aguilar said in a press conference this morning that Fox planned to sign the bill passed by both houses of Mexico's congress last week. The bill would define less than 5 grams of marijuana, 500 milligrams of cocaine and 25 milligrams of heroin as amounts for personal use rather than for sale, said Eduardo Medina Mora, Mexico's minister of public safety in press conference in Mexico City today.
