CONSEQUENCES OF DRUG BILL AVOIDED

To the editor: This is in response to the article "Drug law would
have been misused, locals say," on May 7.

I strongly believe it caused great controversy to propose the
legalization of drugs in Mexico.

As we all know, week after week, many minors go to Mexico in search
of nonstop partying and drinking. Everyone knows the usual party
scene in Mexico. It is chaotic. And with the use of drugs, who knows
what it would be. Even though many would claim to use drugs
responsibly, the consequences can be very dangerous and even deadly.

Many argue that many people will come back to the United States while
still under the influence of drugs. Others believe they will be
taking advantage of the law and the consumption of drugs will increase.

Luckily, Mexico decided not to legalize drugs, but they should take
extra care before even suggesting such a bill that could lead to
deadly consequences.
