With the size of the loads coming across, these quantities amount to nothing but residue.

Simple possession is an effective investigative tool into other crimes, including trafficking...So is wire tapping, kicking in doors, torture, etc. but there are restrictions on those methods also.

Are they trying to attract more tourists to their cesspool of a country?

I wonder if this is setting up something to trade with the US government to prevent increased border enforcement. Mexico will decide to not legalize if the US promises to give amnesty to our current batch of illegals and not harass any new amigos who want to cross the border.

Just as Mexico exports its poor to the US, so possibly the US can export its drug addicts to Mexico. This may work out. ;o)

So what's the difference between legal and illegal. Mexico has already demonstrated they do not know.
To: radar101
Just further proof that Mexico is actively involved in promoting drug use and trafficing.

Mexico attracts rich, spoiled Americans every day. IMPO this is a publicity ploy designed to attract gullible gringos to popular resorts where they can be lured into dangerous situations. Kidnappings are sure to increase. Watch out for resorts like Cancun to become world famous next year for high profile crime reports.

I wouldn't get too excited about this. 200 milligrams of cocaine = 0.2 grams or about one line. 100 milligrams of speed is about the same dosage.
As any druggie can tell you, one line is never enough.

Thank God, there are still people who are sane and see how wrong this is.Why is it wrong? Is the legality of the drug alcohol wrong?
Now let Congress know it is yet another hostile act by mexicans.
Instead of sticking our noses in other nations' business, we should defend our borders so we aren't affected by their decisions.

Maybe the Mexicans see the futility in trying to dictate what a citizen does with their own body.
Meanwhile - back here in the U.S. - All the fed.'s men and all the fed.'s horses and all the citizen's tax money can't stop anyone from smoking a joint.

As bad as this sounds to probably most of the readers: drugs are here to stay. People have been doing drugs, especially drugs like cannabis/marijuana, peyote, psylocybin mushrooms, etc., for thousands upon thousands of years. That doesn't make it right or healthy but to some extent it's just a fact of life. The drug war will never be won. We've been fighting this war since the 1930s if not before and drugs have only become more available and more potent. In some sense, prosecution for drugs like cannabis is just kind of silly because cannabis, it can be argued easily, is not physically addictive, does not pose a threat of overdose and to some extent isn't nearly as debilitating as alcohol.
Of course a comparison to alcohol doesn't make cannabis good or make alcohol bad but you can at least argue that our laws and culture are not being consistent.
