US easing of drug policy could impact Mexican cartels

Following the US Presidential election this week, the states of Colorado and Washington have quietly made history by voting to legalise the use of marijuana. The new legislation is likely to have an impact across the border in Mexico, where a deadly drug war is being waged. Al Jazeera's Lucia Newman reports from the capital Mexico City.

They have crappy mistreated weed in Mexico anyway. If only more states in the next few years did the same thing. For a while I thought it felt like drug cartels were holding a gun to our countries head and preventing legalization. But why are CO and WA so goddamn special?!

the other states simply havent tried having a law voted in.

I think they should test for every drug sorry,it gives the people who want to work the opportunity to work and work in a safe environment,Hey if you want to get high do it enjoy it ,it is everyones own choice.Also the effects of hydropnically grown weed can cause cancers like smoking tobacco,the only thing tobacco dont do is make you paranoid or schizophrenic.

You've not read my other comments. This is sarcasm based on the anti-drug propaganda that got it made illegal in the first place. These tactics were used by the conservatives controlling the message at the time. As far as my dentist goes I want her naked and horny.
