The bill, proposed by conservative President Felipe Calderon, would make it legal to carry up to 5 grams (0.18 ounces) of marijuana, 500 milligrams (0.018 ounces) of cocaine and tiny quantities of other drugs such as heroin and methamphetamines.Mexico's Congress passed a similar proposal in 2006 but the bill was vetoed by Calderon's predecessor Vicente Fox, under pressure from the United States, which said it would increase drug abuse, but now is worried by the drug-related violence along its border.
Mexico has a lot of drug dealer’s problems, almost all the days there are at least 2 people killed because of this problem. This problem is since long time ago a very controversial subject on Mexico, but now the problems have been more and more intense. So now they are deciding to legalize them in a certain form that they are not very harmful for the people that consume them. I think that is a very good idea so the violence because of drugs stops.
