Am I missing something? This article is dated April 28, 2006 and saying that they legalized it then. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,193616,00.html

Maybe this is a different approach to dealing with their drug gang wars down there? Legalize it and there won't be so much income for the illegal drug gangs? But the gangs will still get lots of money from sending the drugs up to the US, so I dunno.

It legalized small amounts of drugs for personal use, but not the suppliers.

Drugs is legal in most places, like painkillers, they are legal in many countries, if you have the right paperwork.

In other news, most drugs was NOT made legal back in 2006 in Mexico. The same can be said for the US, I guess.

The question that we all want to know the answer to reamains, however. Will "most drugs" be made legal in Mexico in 2011 or 2015? We can only wait and see.

Personally, I think it is a better investment of resources; prohibition only serves to make the illicit profitable.
