MEXICO DRUG LAWS

I was disappointed but not surprised to read that Mexican president
Vicente Fox declined to sign his country's drug decriminalization
bill. Such a novel approach to a perennial problem was doomed from
the start. The decriminalization bill may not have been perfect, but
at least it was an attempt to break the abuse-enforcement cycle.

As the adage goes, insanity is doing the same thing over and over and
expecting different results. With that in mind, how do you think our
own war on drugs is working out?
