If it is legal in Mexico, can you cross the US border with 5 grams?

The sound you just heard is the Libertarians jumping to join the other side of the immigration issue...

This is simply great news. In fact, it's the best news I've had today - now not only can we send the illegals back home, we can also encourage all of our druggies to move to Mexico and do drugs legally!!!

So under 5 grams of pot would be like a 1/4 oz., right? That's pretty decent. You'd like to buy in larger quantity, though. 5 grams is more than enough for just walking around. Back in college, I mean, by observation.

Hmmm... One of my co-workers suddenly decided to take an unscheduled week's vacation and visit Mexico this past weekend. Couldn't figure it, 'til I read this article.

Hey, Mayhico, how about taking in some of our druggies? We'll gladly ship them to you to take care of...for life. Just remember what happened to the Roman Empire after it's years of decadence. Your fate awaits.

You can bring in a hell of a lot more if you have the Mexican military helping.

Concentrate on major dealers my butt.

I remember a time when Mexico would have had to build its own wall.

Quite possibly the worst policy Mexico could adapt. But great for the cartels.

Pretty strange that Mexico has to lead the way in regaining rationality about drugs.

Mexico just 'greasing the skids' for what they expect will be their third-most profitable export.

This is a great plan for a country with limited government resources for law enforcement, prosecution, and imprisonment.

Who would you rather have rotting in any particular Mexican jail cell, a Mexican who is a violent criminal and will serve his full term. Or a Mexican violent criminal who was released early and jumps the border to the US, because the cell is needed for 2 non violent druggies to do their terms.

Who would you rather the local police demand bribes from? The local cokehead or local drug smuggling rings?

How many officers would you want in narcotics division as compared to beat cops?

How many docket slots would you want filled with petty drug possession cases, as compared to serious criminal trials?

How many underclass young men of mestizo background do you want to incarcerate for petty drug crimes at a net loss to MExican society, when if you leave them be they will probably run out of options in Mexico and head across the border and become net positives through wage remittance to family members in their home communities.

Maybe some of our dope heads will go their and stay their. Of course Mexico probably would not allow them in. Their rules for immigration are far stricter then ours.
