Mexico: Legalizing Cocaine, Heroine and Marijuana

File under: Ridiculous, Laughable

Mexico's Congress approved a bill Friday that would legalize drug possession for personal use - decriminalizing the carrying of small amounts of marijuana, cocaine and even heroin.

The only step remaining is the signature of the president, whose office indicates he will sign the measure, despite the implications for the war on drugs.

Um...Yeah, that will help things, won't it?

Under the legislation, police will not penalize people for possessing up to 5 grams of marijuana, 5 grams of opium, 25 milligrams of heroin or 500 milligrams of cocaine.

U.S. officials had no immediate reaction on what this means for the fight against drug trafficking, or the vast numbers of American students who visit Mexico on vacation.
