This law could also be seen to really only affect the more serious drug users and sellers, especially sellers and manufactures because the amounts specified as being decriminalized are almost less than the casual drug consumer would have in his or her possession for even personal use. So, this law makes it so the Mexican justice system isn't spending hundreds of dollars on building a case on a guy who was found to have 2 or 3 joints on his person when he was caught smoking in a public place. This makes it so the law, at least it seems, puts priority on people who possess or sell large quanities of drugs.

I was wondering how long it would take for our friendly neighborhood pro-drug members to come out and join in.

"pro-drug" is such a narrow description of Know your rights and myself.

We are "pro" a lot more things. Pro-liberty, pro-individual rights or pro-Constitutional might be more capable descriptions of us.

A nation should not wage a war against it's own citizens because they choose to enjoy themselves in a way that some choose not to.

Last night - my wife and I were watching "Amazing Video's" and there was some nut trying to jump a motorcycle over 14 automobiles. Well, unfortunately for him, he was short of his descent ramp and crashed. IMHO - he was doing something that deserves a law against it much more than the joint I smoked. At least, at my home, no one was hurt.

Is the U.S. "actively involved in promoting" alcohol use because that drug is legal?

I'm anti-drug and pro-liberty. Are you going to answer the question or just sling mud?
