Title: decriminalizing
Post by karma on Apr 28^th, 2006, 8:49pm

MEXICO CITY, Mexico (AP) -- Mexico's Congress on Friday approved a bill decriminalizing possession of small quantities of marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine and even heroin for personal use, prompting U.S. criticism that the measure could harm anti-drug efforts.

Canada was working on a similar legislation for ganja.

It could cause a real mess unless the U.S. rethinks its drugs strategy. But if they did it would probably cut the prisoner population in half and reduce crime significantly.
( just a guess, no facts)
The down side is it would wipe out some major economies.
