Mexico legalized personal use of drugs. Small amounts of marijuana, cocaine, LSD, etc...

Though if caught they encourage you to seek treatment, and if caught 3 times you are sent to rehab.

Seems like a smarter approach to drugs than what we have.

Seems like a smarter approach to drugs than what we have.Not to mention, they are much smarter/humane in terms of access to prescription drugs. If you are in intractable pain in Mexico, you can actually get relief, unlike here in the US where it is preferred that you suffer in agony and eventually kill yourself rather become a pain killer "addict".
