Mexico Information pages (MX, MEX, 484 ) The Movement for Peace and Justice in Mexico Mexico > The Movement for Peace and Justice | A new peace movement to end the US-sponsored drug war begins with buses rolling and feet marching from the Tijuana–San Diego border on August 12 through twenty-five US cities to Washington, DC, in September. Named the Caravan for Peace, the trek is intended to put human faces and names on the estimated 60,000 dead, 10,000 disappeared and 160,000 displaced people in Mexico since 2006, when the US Drug Enforcement Agency, Pentagon and the CIA supported the escalation of the Mexican armed forces. Learn more >> "We are dedicated to giving voice to the families of victims of this violence and to publicizing the real costs of this war. We have made it clear that the Mexican state must stop denying its responsibilities, which it does by criminalizing the victims of violence. Instead, it must accept that there are victims, and that it is the Mexican government's responsibility to provide justice and reparations to them. With this in mind, we have asked for a change from the current security strategy to one focused on human security. To these ends, the Movement has organized two "caravans" that have traversed the North and South of Mexico. These actions prompted meetings with the President and Legislature to seek policy alternatives to war. These experiences have allowed us to see first-hand the grave situation we face as a society. "As part of our quest for peace and justice, the Movement would like to extend to you a cordial invitation to be part of a new endeavor: the US Peace Caravan. This caravan will leave this August from San Diego, CA and arrive in Washington, DC in September. This initiative seeks to promote dialogue with American civil society and its government regarding the following themes: the need to stop gun trafficking; the need to debate alternatives to drug prohibition; the need for better tools to combat money laundering; and the need to promote bilateral cooperation in human rights and human security in two priority areas: promotion of civil society and safety, as well as protection and safety for migrants. The MPJD seeks the support of the diverse array of groups we believe would be interested in promoting and end to, or alternatives to, the aforementioned policies. We believe that the solutions must emerge from within civil society and from a regional dialogue. For these reasons, we invite you to be our counterpart in an exercise of civilian diplomacy that can return peace, justice and dignity to the victims of this war. We hope we will be able to count on your valuable participation as an ally and partner in this historic event."

Mexico ( Spanish: México, IPA: [mexiko] ), officially the United Mexican States (Spanish: Estados Unidos Mexicanos ), is a federal constitutional republic officially in (part of) North America continent. It is bordered on the north by the United States of America; on the south and west by the Pacific Ocean; on the southeast by Guatemala, Belize, and the Caribbean Sea; and on the east by the Gulf of Mexico. Covering almost two million square kilometres (over 760,000 sq mi), Mexico is the fifth largest country in the Americas by total area and the thirteenth largest independent nation in the world. With an estimated population of over 113 million, it is the eleventh most populous country and the most populous Spanish-speaking country. Mexico is a federation comprising thirty-one states and a Federal District, the capital city. In Pre-Columbian Mexico many cultures matured into advanced civilizations such as the Olmec, the Toltec, the Teotihuacan, the Zapotec, the Maya and the Aztec before the first contact with Europeans. In 1521, Spain conquered and colonized the territory from its base in México-Tenochtitlan, which was administered as the Viceroyalty of New Spain. This territory would eventually become Mexico as the colony's independence was recognized in 1821. The post-independence period was characterized by economic instability, the Mexican-American War and territorial cession to the United States, a civil war, two empires and a domestic dictatorship. The latter led to the Mexican Revolution in 1910, which culminated with the promulgation of the 1917 Constitution and the emergence of the country's current political system. Elections held in July 2000 marked the first time that an opposition party won the presidency from the Institutional Revolutionary Party. Mexico has one of the world's largest economies, and is considered both a regional power and middle power. In addition, Mexico was the first Latin American member of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development OECD (since 1994), and considered an upper-middle income country by the World Bank. Mexico is considered a and an emerging power. It has the thirteenth largest nominal GDP and the eleventh largest by purchasing power parity. The economy is strongly linked to those of its North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) partners, especially the United States. Mexico ranks fifth in the world and first in the Americas by number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites with 31, and in 2007 was the tenth most visited country in the world with 21.4 million international arrivals per year.

Yet, in August 2009, a new law decrminalized a number of drugs, including cannabis, with small quantities of cannabis (up to 5 grams) not prosecuted as crimes. In more liberal Mexico City, a metropolis of 8 million, lawmakers have introduced a measure to allow stores to sell up to 5 grams of pot. The plan has the mayor's support but could set up a fight with the federal government. >> source - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_cannabis_by_country Mexico | Worldwide Marijuana Travel Guide, Marijuana Prices, Spots & Legalization Status; Currently covering 1128 cities.

And 5Grams of Hash. But many local laws are in conflict with this federal law. So many states and city’s are more “illegal” than others. Law Enforcement: If you are ever caught smoking or carrying grass, do not panic, the police in Mexico city will most surely be willing to come to an arrangement, the only difference in the amount of time they will harass you, and the amount of money they will ask for, this depends on how you treat them. I always recommend being POLITE, CALM, and accepting you mistake and asking them for to help you, they will usually tell you that in order to help you, you must help them in return, meaning they will set a price on your liberty that is always at least double of what you should actually pay, so be clever and talk them in to charging less money, specially if you are tourist. Locals like me, usually pay between 15-30 usd, foreigners may have to pay double. Remember always that even if you are taking you police headquarters, you will end up being released due to the fact that if you are only carrying one kind of drug, and in small amounts, it is not considered a criminal offense. Where to buy marijuana in Mexico City: Go to Coyoacan, to the big street market on the main squre. There are lot’s of hippies selling clothes, pipes, etc. Ask around the ones that sell pipes. and also: “As a tourist you will most certainly pay a higher price for your weed, and if you are looking for a easy place to buy a small amount, even if at higher prices (20gr = 20-30usd), try the going to the Zona Rosa, and look for a street called Amberes, most of the guys who will wash cars or take care of them (not offical valets), sell small amounts of pot, in my experience they are only around from 5 to 11pm. Or try Xochimilco, if you are visting this area, ask the locals for a place called Embarcadero de belem, and then ask of the little chapel that is located nearby (1-2 streets away), look for guys that are lurking around selling pot, they will most surely come and offer, prices are good considering the nice quality of the weed, 30grs cost 15USD.” Mexico city marijuana Prices: 6 to 10 USD for a 50 to 100Gram Pack. $100USD for a Kilo. and also: “I got 10gs for 150 pesos in 10 minutes.” Mexico city marijuana Brands: Taxco Guerrero, Chiapas, And Many other. More information: Making friends with young local people is not hard at all, and there is a big chance of being able to meet other smokers by doing so, do not be afraid, middle class and low class youngsters, are very friendly, and usually have good information and tips as to where to buy your grass. >> Learn more >> Puerto Vallarta | Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 3.5 --- Legislation: Marijuana is illagal in Mexico, and so is any related action. Law enforcement: Don’t smoke in public, but in your hotel rooms it’s cool! Not a lot of cops around to bug you. Large presence, but not in your face. Be respectful and don’t stand out. Keep an eye out on beaches, they patrol on foot and by 4 wheeler, I believe some are also horseback. Also everyone says not to get involved with the Federales, national police. I didn’t have any problems but if you aren’t in good condition to be searched you’ll want to be careful of them stopping you, no need for probable cause down here. They had one public beach gaited off and were spot checking people as they came in. I was on my way out and had they been searching I would have been in a wee pickle. Where to buy marijuana: Bought from a guy selling parasailing on the beach. He had what must have been an ounce of goodlooking almost seedless lime green buds in a baggie. He offered it for 50USD but I told him it was too much. I was only going to be there a week and wanted less. He was unhappy about it but eventually split the bag in half and let us take that for 25. I did not haggle with him because I had been offered other bags of weed, though for only 2 or 3 dollars that were bone dry and mostly seeds and stems, I was so happy to have found such nice green I quickly payed the price. My friend and I later rolled a spliff and smoked it in the hotel room. Just after we got done a guy from the security staff knocked on the door and said “huele como marijuana aqui” which means “it smells like marijuana out here(in the hallway)” We returned blank and somewhat apprehentious stares. Then he asked for some coca cola. More blank stares. I then said in spanish that we didn’t have any coca cola, only pepsi. After a few more moments he smiled and said goodbye. It was only then that my friend clued in to the fact that the guard was asking for cocaine. Anyway, he knew we were blitzed and let us off with a smile. And we spent the rest of our time in Puerto Vallarta blissfully stoned on some excellent reefer. and also: ” Anywhere, but taking a trip out to yelapa is probably your safest bet. Buy from a Gringo because you run less risk that way. In my time there I saw a truckload of cops unloading in front of the police station one with a visible badge and gun wearing a teeshirt with a large weed leaf on it and carrying a black backpack..same as the vendors you see on the beach. Marijuana prices: $200 Pesos ($20 US) decent amount of good green sticky bud. I had to dry it out to smoke it because it was very wet. and also: “Anywhere from a QP, yeah you heard right, for 20 US to 50 for an ounce, this was nearly sensi, light green, sticky but not so potent herb.” Marijuana brands: No names, mostly local, most outdoor, some indoor. More information: This place is really touristy and best seen early in the season or if you can stand the heat and humidity then come during the rainy season, which incidentally is High fungus season! and: Smooth moke- lots of giggles and munchies!! >> Learn more >> Tijuana | Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 4 --- Legislation: The “Codigo Penal” law at “Articulo 195Bis” specify a max. of 250Grams to be considered personal consuming and not to be procecuted. And 5Grams of Hash. But many local laws are in conflict with this federal law. So many states and cities are more “illegal” than others. Legal for amounts up to one days use. Law enforcement: can be bried easily ask them how much they want and then bargain down. Where to buy marijuana: where not? Go to Revolution Street pay tourist prices. Go to anywhere else , just ask for maria Ask around but dont pay until you see it. There are dealers in the red light district ask around discretely there are many police around. There is a skter shop and other similar stores between 8th and 9th in front of the samborns askthe people leaving the shop. They sell great cheap zig zags inside. If you are gutsy and speak spanish go to a poor colonia and ask around u will get some. Marijuana prices: $20 an OZ , $5 bag 3gr 5 dlls for a 1-3 grams averages between good and at least smokable cheat!!!! More information: ur best bet is to look for someone reasonable and ask them to point you in the right direction in exchange for $$$ but pay only after u have it in ur hand >> Learn more >> . . . and . . . International law Marijuana is in Schedule IV of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, making it subject to special restrictions. Article 2 provides for the following, in reference to Schedule IV drugs: A Party shall, if in its opinion the prevailing conditions in its country render it the most appropriate means of protecting the public health and welfare, prohibit the production, manufacture, export and import of, trade in, possession or use of any such drug except for amounts which may be necessary for medical and scientific research only, including clinical trials therewith to be conducted under or subject to the direct supervision and control of the Party. This provision, while apparently providing for the limitation of marijuana to research purposes only, also seems to allow some latitude for nations to make their own judgments. The official Commentary on the Single Convention indicates that Parties are expected to make that judgment in good faith.

Sinaloa is often called “the cradle of Mexican narco-trafficking,” and Congressman Urias has had enough. “Narco-trafficking has increased, controlled more capital, moved a greater volume of drugs, consumption has gone up, the consequences have gone up, the violence engendered by trafficking has gone up each year,” says Urias. The cause of all this trouble, says the Congressman, of the center-left PRD (Democratic Revolution Party), is not the drugs, but their illegality, and the current policy of prohibition is only making the problems worse. In other words, Urias favors the legalization of drugs, and last year authored legislation in the national Congress to begin that process with the decriminalization of marijuana. >> Visit: http://www.narconews.com/Issue27/article592.html Cannabis Forums Message Boards - Medical Marijuana, Cannabis Club, Dispensary, News > News, Politics and Legal > Legal >> Legal Issues including laws, arrests, warrants, current and past law cases, legal theories, etc. | Legal in Mexico? | does anyone know if weed is legal in mexico? ...

Many of the greatest gifts to the western world came from Mexico and points south: chocolate, Tequila, Mariachi music, maize (viz., corn), Tex-Mex food, potatoes, tobacco, and marijuana. All of them provide joy, every one of them is thoroughly and delightfully addictive, but only one is deadly, and the deadly one isn't the marijuana. (Well, you could count Tequila shooters as deadly, I suppose, if you tried to match me one-for-one.) Marijuana, in addition to its recreational pleasures, is a godsend for chemotherapy patients and those who suffer from HIV-wasting or other diseases where nausea, vomiting, sleeplessness, and general lack of interest in eating are common. Marijuana greatly stimulates the appetite, giving the munchies to those who otherwise can't bring themselves to eat. It also reduces chemotherapeutic nausea, which is necessary if having the munchies is to do any good. >> Visit: http://www.nesseler.org/pages/2009/04/medical-marijuana.html Feature: Medical Marijuana Bill to Be Introduced in Mexico Next Week from Drug War Chronicle, Issue #533, 4/25/08 | Deputy Elsa Conde of the Social Democratic Alternative Party, or simply Alternativo, will introduce a bill to legalize the medicinal use of marijuana in Mexico next week. A press conference to announce the move is set for Monday, and the bill should be filed Tuesday, a day before the Mexican congress goes on vacation. The bill would make medical marijuana available for seriously ill patients. It proposes a system of licensed dispensaries to handle supply. The text of the bill was not available by Thursday afternoon. "I will introduce the bill on Tuesday," said Deputy Conde, "If marijuana helps sick people, we should not punish them for using it," she said Thursday. Elsa CondeAlternativo is a small party with only four seats in the 500-member Chamber of Deputies, but bill supporters said the measure also has support from some members of the leftist Revolutionary Democratic Party (PRD), at least one member of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), and may pick up some support from a key member of the conservative governing National Action Party (PAN).

Police describe Mario Gonzalez Martinez as one of the most trusted aides of Sinaloa cartel leader Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. He was captured Friday along with four alleged accomplices in the western state of Jalisco. The Public Safety Department says federal police also seized 10 rifles and six pistols. Since taking office in late 2006, Calderon has sent more than 45,000 soldiers to combat drug cartels. Drug violence has killed more than 10,750 people in the last 2 1/2 years.

Senate approves medical marijuana bill - Monday, December 15, 2008 | TRENTON BUREAU: A Senate committee today cleared a measure that would allow medical use of marijuana in New Jersey. The Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee voted to approve the long-stalled bill by a 6 to 1 margin; two senators abstained. The bill calls for creating “alternative treatment centers” where people with chronic and terminal diseases would be allowed access to marijuana. Supporters say marijuana is a viable treatment option to alleviate pain in many cases. “It is the definition of basic human decency that we do whatever we can to ease the pain and suffering of people living with severe chronic and terminal diseases,” said bill sponsor Sen. Nicholas Scutari, D-Union. “When all other avenues of currently-approved pain relief have been exhausted, we need to give doctors the freedom to prescribe medical marijuana to give their patients a measure of comfort and dignity in the face of their debilitating diseases. This bill is about the most humane, compassionate option for those state residents who have nowhere else to turn in managing their illnesses.” If ultimately approved by the full Legislature and signed by Governor Corzine, New Jersey would be the 14th state to allow medical use of marijuana.   ...   Visit - https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=106356.

The study, which was conducted over a two year period and included 775 patients from the USA, Africa, and Puerto Rico, assessed the use of cannabis as a symptom management approach for anxiety, depression, fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, and peripheral neuropathy.  27% of survey participants reported using cannabis for medicinal purposes. Researchers wrote that cannabis use “was rated slightly more effective than antidepressants for anxiety and depression, Imodium for diarrhea, [over the counter] (OTC) medications for fatigue, and anti-epileptics and OTC medications for neuropathy” while cannabis was rated “slightly less effective for nausea than either prescribed or OTC medications.”   Authors concluded that cannabis “is perceived by users as at least as effective as prescribed medications in symptom management.”   ...   Visit - http://safeaccessnow.org/blog/?cat=22.

As the nation faces an unprecedented crisis in levels of violence and lawlessness, one of the big issues is who will have to take the blame for the disastrous war on drugs. More than 50,000 men, women and children have been killed in violence related to the drug war since December of 2006. That was when President Felipe Calderon made the now deeply regrettable decision to launch thousands of army troops into the streets to confront drug cartels. Almost no one believes the drug war has been a success. In one recent poll, 53% of Mexicans surveyed said that organized crime was winning the war. Their perception is born out by statistics. The same poll, by Consulta Mitofsky and Mexicans United Against Crime, reported that in the five years since the drug war began (2006-2011) crimes have increased 15%, with homicides up 88%, kidnappings 81%, and extortion 46%. According to the US drug report, between 2004-2008, heroin production increased 340% in Mexico. Gender-based violence has also risen dramatically. In the northern border state of Chihuahua, where Ciudad Juarez--already infamous for its femicide rate--is located, assassinations of women rose 1,000% between 2007 and 2010. Chihuahua was one of the first places that the federal government organized a major military operation in the drug war and it continues to have heavy military presence. Yet, far from being safe, its citizens live in fear. In addition to assassinations, hundreds of people have been 'disappeared' and tens of thousands have fled their homes.   Visit - http://www.cipamericas.org/archives/6743. US Government Says It Will Stop Interfering with Medical Marijuana | According to this article, US Attorney General Eric Holder has said that states will be allowed to make their own rules about medical marijuana, and that the US federal government will stop raiding medical marijuana dispensaries in California. (See article “Can Marijuana Help Rescue California’s Economy?”at this link) In the 1990s, several US states passed referendums which allowed marijuana to be used legally for medical purposes. In a referendum, the registered voters vote directly on the proposed law, as opposed to the law being passed by the state legislature. Thus, when these states passed these referendums, it meant that the citizens of these states really wanted medical marijuana to be made legal. However, in a blatant disregard for democracy and the people’s will, under the Bush administration, the national government refused to accept this law, and carried out raids of the medical marijuana dispensaries.   ...   Click > here < for more.

Informational Guide on Medical Cannabis | If you have ever heard of the song, “Lets Go Get Stoned,” as sung by Ray Charles or Joe Cocker, you know the lyrics were referring to getting high or using cannabis aka marijuana. This mind altering drug goes by other names as well; names such as weed, pot, joint, blunt, hash and mary jane are quite common among users. Cannabis is a plant that contains a chemical called cannabinoids or cannabinolidic acids. Another substance that is found in cannabis is THC, or Tetrahydrocannabinol, which gives the users that “high” sensation. When speaking of marijuana, the actual substance used in creating the high feeling comes from the leaves and flowering tops of the cannabis plant. Marijuana is considered to be a schedule 1 controlled substance today, because of the THC, which can be highly potent, depending upon the concentration factor of the THC.

Their chief concern was that legal medical access would send the message that cannabis is safe. The presidents can, however, lay their safety concerns to rest because the scientific literature overwhelmingly confirms that cannabis is both an effective and safe medicine. The Cannabis Safety Profile. The journal PHARMACOLOGICAL REVIEWS reports that decades of research prove that, "Compared with legal drugs...marijuana does not pose greater risks." Yet based upon mortality statistics, we can safely conclude that cannabis is one of the safest medical drugs known, for, while prescription drugs, defined as safe by the FDA, kill up to 27,000 and aspirin up to 1,000 Americans per year, cannabis kills 0 per year.
