Mexico decriminalizes small-scale drug possession

Migrated topic.
a step in the right direction .. but still with a negative attitude i.e. seeing all 'drug users' as helpless victims of addiction, rather than concious people exploring themselves - although in the case of heroin and coke, it seems much more likely to fall into that kind of addictive usage.

Imagine a headline like : "[insert name of country] decriminalized small amounts of a range of psychoactive substances alongside new government funded guidance on safe use and conciousness expansion...."

Now THAT would be great. :D
 
Just heard that argentina also will decriminalize small-scale possession of marihuana.

Since the spanish speaking world seems to be moving to an interesting new direction i can hardly wait for spanish to become the oficial language of the USA.
 
this has got to be a mega development, super progressive, I've recently talked to friends about the influx of RCs and dodgy drugs that it may have the rebound effect of decriminalising more established drugs... it also seems to me like governments are turning a blind eye to people buying prescription medication on-line for obvious reasons.. but to stop harm, crime and in order to get in on the act monetarily.....
 
agreed it is a really positive development, my post above may have come across as negative - its a small but important step to a saner world.
 
I think freedom of information has a lot to do with this. These days you can chat with people around the world about drugs and find out the truth about them from actual users. We see that people using DMT are generally very intelligent people, not social outcasts detrimental to society as the government propaganda would like you to believe. Because of the internet, people can visit sites like this one and see for themselves what users of DMT actually are like.

SWIM is a master software engineer at Motorola. He regularly gets bonuses. He's got a family and has been happily married for many years. He's doing well by most people's standards.

In the past, royalty used psychedelics. The rulers of the Aztecs, Mayans, etc., all used psychedelics. They were commonly used by the upper class and were considered sacred. This partially changed (was moved underground) when the Spanish invaded and demonized psychedelic use because it wasn’t part of their catholic religious belief system. Over the years though, psychedelics have made their way back into the church despite their efforts, and now there are quite a few catholic churches that use ayahuasca.

It's only a matter of time that psychedelics are viewed as sacred again, rather than detrimental drugs.
 
So if the people are allowed to possess...what does this mean for cultivators? I don't get it.

/me gives ron + mexico + arentina a standing ovation, regardless ! :]
