August of this year the Mexican government legalized possession of marijuana, cocaine and heroin. The United States has long held that a great percentage of illegal drugs brought into this country are manufactured and smuggled into the United States across our borders. In the United States, possession of any of these drugs is illegal and the penalty can be imprisonment. The Mexican government says that they are losing their battle with the drug cartels in part because of the illegal firearms crossing the border from the United States into Mexico.

The Mexican Government defends their legalization of drugs. "This is not legalization; this is regulating the issue and giving citizens greater legal certainty," said Bernardo Espino del Castillo of the attorney generals office.

Legal certainty is accurate. The citizens and visitors of Mexico are now certain that they will not be arrested for possession of these drugs. They have immunity.
In addition this new law gives the Mexican citizens and visitors from the United States the opportunity to legally try out these drugs and add to the Drug Cartels bank of addicted users. Its now a reality that the desperate migration of Mexicans into the United States might, in part, be an attempt to flee their county that is clearly in the control of the Mexican Drug Cartels.Should we as Americans turn away these refugees (who are infiltrated with drug smugglers) ? Or should we, if we have a choice, wage war in Mexico rather than Afghanistan. To see a real story of the war on drugs in Mexico click here: courtesy of Boston.com
