Mexico redeems itself

I'm not sure I would ever see this, but Mexico is actually ahead of the U.S. on a major issue. While this is not the broad decriminalization that should be the goal, this is nonetheless a major step forward. Of course, there is the usual sniping by U.S. politicians (at least now I know the name of San Diego's mayor) who refuse to believe the obvious: that the War on Drugs has been a massive failure. Legalization would lead to less violence and drug-related crime, not more.
