While no one was looking yesterday, Mexican senators passed a bill decriminalizing possession of narcotics. Soon it could be legal to carry up to 5 grams each of weed and opium and small amounts of heroin, meth and cocaine. The legislation still has to go through the lower house, but yesterday's 87-in-favor vote indicates it should pass. Thanks for distracting us, swine flu!
The last time Mexico tried to pull this off, Washington freaked out and forced then-President Vicente Fox to veto the legalization bill he himself had proposed.
