WNU Editor: This Mexican plan was released last month .... Mexico Wants to Decriminalize All Drugs and Negotiate With the U.S. to Do the Same (Newsweek). What's my take? This plan will cripple the drug cartels, but there will be a heavy health cost. There was a reason why the U.S. banned drugs like cocaine, morphine, heroin, etc. over a century ago, and it was to address the massive health crisis that evolved from Civil War veterans who became addicted to opiates. Are we repeating history? I hope not. But making addictive drugs available to the public will have consequences, and it will certainly encourage Americans to travel to Mexico to get there fix.
