This is a bust! Keep those hands where we can see them!
We go to Zih about 4x each year. Great place, nice people. The druggies are not local...most come from Michoacan, the state to the north.
We’ll still go, but I’ll stay away from the police station in the future.
Soldiors/sailors with M-16’s on the beach...so what...they’ve been there for the 20-30 years we’ve been going to Mexico. It’s a different society. Get used to it.
Shame is that the entire drug problem is due to US drug policies, and a lot of organized crime on both sides of the border who know how to make a profit from prohibition.
If marijuana was legalized...taxed...sold like booze with similar controls and penalties...the major profit source for the druggies would disappear. Not a perfect solution, but maybe less damage to our society than the current situation.
