No Drugs in Mexico
ny times
Mexican President Vicente Fox backed off signing a drug decriminalization bill that the United States warned could result in ''drug tourism'' and increased availability of narcotics in American border communities.
Fox reversed course Wednesday and said he was sending the bill back to Congress for changes, just one day after his office had said he would sign it into law. The measure would have dropped criminal penalties for possession of small amounts of marijuana, cocaine, heroin and other drugs.
Fox's statement said he will ask for corrections ''to make it absolutely clear in our country, the possession of drugs and their consumption are, and will continue to be, a criminal offense.''
Tomorrow, Drugs are legal in Mexico!
"Under the bill, it would be legal to have 25 milligrams of heroin, a fifth of an ounce of marijuana or half a gram of cocaine. The bill also makes it legal to possess small amounts of LSD, hallucinogenic mushrooms, amphetamines and peyote.
'We are not authorizing the consumption of drugs,' said Senator Jorge Zermiño, the bill's sponsor in the Senate. 'We are combating it and recognizing that there are addicts that require special treatment. We cannot close our eyes, nor fill our jails with addicts.' "
