The Mexico drug problem is enormous, over 50% of the country is addicted to some sort of illegal drug. Mexico has just passed a law keeping drug usage to a minimum, so you basically won't get arrested for smoking 4 joints, 50mg of cocaine, 50mg of heroin. Ther's some more but I don't exactly remember them all. Most of the illegal drugs in America come from Mexico and Canada, I know that Canada provides marijuana mostly, I could provide more information, but I'm lazy and I think some of you know about this problem to talk about it.

50% addicted? That sounds completely absurd to me.

This site says 460,000 are addicted. The population is 110 million+ That's about .5%

I read it in Time, so I might of missed the (.). And I got a fact mixed up, actually you can get away with snorting 1/2g of cocaine.

I don't see a problem.

Focus on the trafficker rather than the user, the way it should be.

Not that I claim to have any problems with people selling marijuana =P

Mexico is definetly having a lot of trouble with illegal drugs and this seems to be a way of appeasement. They do need to focus on the trafficker, but they also need to focus on the user, basic economics, no demand, no supply. Sad in a way our border at times can be more dangerous then our current middle eastern warzones thanks to the cartels.

And ecstacy... and Methamphetamines.

And as for 'Canada' producing MJ; as if any of the provinces other then BC have anything to do with it =P

yes, lets blame the mexicans for all our problems. if america did not have such a demand for drugs, mexico would not be producing drugs, and they could focus on producing cervesa and jumping beans

50% Wow that's terrible. And Baron Scot is right, we do want drugs so how can we blame the Mexicans for producing them?

I'm not blaming Mexico for every one of America's and the Nation's drug problems, and for a 2nd time .5% of Mexico is addicted, not 50%. I"m just putting this out there since Mexico is one of the bigger supplier's and one for the more violent drug wars countries.
