Mexican President Vicente Fox will sign a bill that would legalize the use of nearly every drug and narcotic sold by the same Mexican cartels he's vowed to fight during his five years in office, a spokesman said Tuesday.
The list of illegal drugs approved for personal consumption by Mexico's Congress last week is enough to make one dizzy — or worse.
Cocaine. Heroin. LSD. Marijuana. PCP. Opium. Synthetic opiates. Mescaline. Peyote. Psilocybin mushrooms. Amphetamines. Methamphetamines.
And the per-person amounts approved for possession by anyone 18 or older could easily turn any college party into an all-nighter: half a gram of coke, a couple of Ecstasy pills, several doses of LSD, a few marijuana joints, a spoonful of heroin, 5 grams of opium and more than 2 pounds of peyote, the hallucinogenic cactus.
Look, Vincente Fox loves illegal immigration into the United States because it is a steam release for the Mexican ruling elite. They've dominated Mexico for years and years, and a significant underclass has developed. That underclass might have thought that Fox would be a change from the previous PRI, but he really wasn't. If the U.S. clamped down on illegal immigration, and those who were frustrated with the conditions in Mexico were forced to stay in Mexico, the ruling elite would face the possibility of a popular revolt within a decade or two. I understand the Mexican government's resistance to us treating our border like, well, a border-it's because they fear those frustrated Mexicans staying in Mexico. So here is what I propose. We'll take Mexico's frustrated underclass and give them the opportunity to better themselves. In exchange, Mexico accepts and keeps our narco-tourists. Straight up trade. What do you say, Vincente?
