MEXICO CITY (AP) - Mexico enacted a controversial law on Thursday decriminalizing possession of small amounts of marijuana, cocaine, heroin and other drugs while encouraging government-financed treatment for drug dependency free of charge.


The law sets out maximum "personal use" amounts for drugs, also including LSD and methamphetamine. People detained with those quantities will no longer face criminal prosecution; the law goes into effect on Friday.

Anyone caught with drug amounts under the personal-use limit will be encouraged to seek treatment, and for those caught a third time treatment is mandatory - although no penalties for noncompliance are specified.

The maximum amount of marijuana considered to be for "personal use" under the new law is 5 grams - the equivalent of about four marijuana cigarettes. Other limits are half a gram of cocaine, 50 milligrams of heroin, 40 milligrams for methamphetamine and 0.015 milligrams of LSD.

great news.  Now if they would only adopt a similar policy in the US.

5 grams of weed isn't shit though.  They should at least make it an ounce.

As if this half baked law is going to prevent the cops from shaking down kids on spring break, or prevent the cartels and drugs mules from operating.
