Mexico decriminalized small amounts of marijuana, cocaine, LSD, methamphetamine and heroin on Friday, August 21, 2009, which sets clearly defined limits that keep Mexico’s corruption-prone police from extorting casual users. The new law also offers addicts free treatment to keep growing domestic drug use in check.
“This is not legalization, this is regulating the issue and giving citizens greater legal certainty.”
— Bernardo Espino del Castillo of the attorney general’s office.
