Thread: Mexico allows legal possession and use of drugs

Once the generation that fully understoood Rock because they lived through it became the congressmen and president and supreme justices, it was no longer an issue. That's why I see debate over video games and drugs going out the window in another 20 years.

Bullcrap


Just because my and your generation are a rock generation, dont mean we all think drugs are ok, and should be legal. Thats the day when the world becomes a mad max like world. *Dies*

for me Ketaro is seeing the big picture here.... ok we all know drugs are bad... but as Ketaro said its helps the countrys economy and it helps the country in other ways too.... plus how is making u do drugs? NO ONE...... so its up to you if you do it or dont... its the persons choice...

I'm not saying that drugs will be ok because we're a rock generation. I said that in it's heyday, classic rock was severely frowned upon by the government. Yet when the people who grew up listening to rock came into power, that all changed and rock was no longer a big deal. I'm using that scenario as an analogy for drugs. I'm not saying drugs are a good thing either, I just think that in about 20-30 years, they won't be a big deal any more. Even if drug users don't get elected into congress, they'll still be more accepted universally, and any congressman who blindly opposes drugs will lose popularity and not be reelected. Just like when video games become as accepted as rock music, Hillary Clinton won't be given a passing glance untill she changes her message to the public. This is all a long way off, though, so don't expect to see immediate reforms in 3 weeks, or anything. Just expect a gradual decline in opposition.

Also pay attention to the fact that they aren't just legalizing all drugs, they do limit the amount that you may carry.

This doensn't change my opinion about this though, I think it is absolutely wrong to make hard drugs legal, even if it's just in small amounts.

I agree, totally drugz anywhere should be prohibited

mexico wants drugs to be legal,thats bad.

Sorry if I gave the impression that US policy is the only policy that matters, it's just that I know my government can be very imposing and presumptuous at times. I was just thinking of the close relationship between the US and Mexico, and how that makes the US even more likely to try to impose it's will over Mexico's sovreignty(pretty sure I didn't spell that right). I don't think we have the right to tell the Mexicans "No! You don't have the right to enstate your own legislation without our consent!".
