A former Mexican foreign minister said that Mexico and the United States shouls both legalize marijuana. He said it is ridiculous to try to stop marijuana entering to tha U.S. because it is sold in California for medical purposes. The DEA mentioned that 60% of Mexican drug cartel's profit came from marijuana, so if it is legalized it would be a great part of the problem. This man, Jorge Castañeda, criticize Calderon for declaring war to the drug cartels, a war that have costed more than 17000 lives en less than 4 years.
This is a very discussed problem all around the world, but the question is "¿What should we do?" There are debates, forums, discussions, etc. about his topic but nobody knows which is the best answer. If we legalize drugs, there is a possibility that more people consume it. But if we stay like this, we have drug cartels and money wash. We should do something to this, starting by helping drug addicts and having more vigilance over kids and out of schools.
