"My personal position is in favor of marijuana"
 |
| AMLO with Durazo |
The man proposed to be
Mexico’s next public security secretary has admitted he favors the legalization
of marijuana.
Alfonso Durazo Montaño
express his view in Cuernavaca, Morelos, before attending a forum on drug
policy with other members of the new federal administration, representatives and
experts from the scientific and academic communities and members of civil
organizations.
Durazo told reporters he
was in favor of the legalization of marijuana for recreational and medical use
but cautioned that it was his personal belief and he would not attempt to
impose it during the talks.
“We will discuss drug and
pacification issues and outline a policy that will contribute to the nation’s
pacification and reconciliation . . . those proposals that obtain consensus
will possibly become public policy,” he said.
“I have my personal
position in favor of the legalization of marijuana, but I’m not here to push my
proposal forward, the forum will have to decide that,” he said.
Another proposed cabinet
secretary has expressed similar views. Olga Sánchez Cordero, prospective
interior secretary, has said she too favors the decriminalization of marijuana,
and allowing opium poppy cultivation for medical purposes.

U can buy anywhere in Mexico now
ReplyDeleteWeed should've been legalized long ago, what's the point of keeping it illegal, when they can barely enforce their laws in rural areas.
ReplyDeleteHe should get up, and do something about the high murder rate, that Mexico is becoming famous.
ReplyDeleteIt will not stop the deaths in Mexico. These Narco's will still be killing each other for plaza's to sell their drugs. Making legal in parts of the USA has not effected the violence in Mexico, and in fact murder is recording all time highs now. Killing off the competition is a norm in the drug trade here. Same with other businesses at times.
ReplyDeleteDuranzo concentrate on homicide prevention, not about marijuana. Think about the Innocence of people getting killed. I call my senator about cartels killing kids, he want to talk about, growing tomatoes.
DeleteQ0:47 grow tomatoes,
Deletelet them rot.
And throw them at your favorite politician,
practice to hit them right in the snout
The drug war is a failure. Already legalization in US states has caused a big drop in cartel cannabis revenue. That is a very real impact, cutting off the money helps. Only meth is dangerous anyway, keep that illegal, also provide treatment.
ReplyDeleteDuranzo your the secretary of security, he is not on charge of marjusna . Get your head straight, and work on the real problem, people getting killed.
ReplyDeleteDurazno is a Bozo!
ReplyDeleteNevada, USA State cannabis sales first legel year, recreational.
ReplyDelete7/1/2017 to 6/30/2018 ~ 1.2 billion usd. State coffers collected over $35 million each month in taxes! It ain't about safety it is about $.
Taxing grifa won't work in mexico, the farmers will still be forced to sell cheap or be killed by one or the other side of competing middle men, be it Grifa or frijoles "nada cambia" because those middle men have their padrinos in government.
DeleteIt could help if police chiefs are made responsible for murders in their areas with allowance to take two or three of his favorite men down with him to teach others responsibility.
