The only valid reasoning about drug use in Mexico going up is the fact that a ton of tourists (who already do drugs in the first place) will now come to Mexico in search of legal drugs. It's the same thing that happened in Amsterdam. The people there that do drugs aren't the people that live there. It's the tourists that come for the cheap thrills.
Your willingness to tell people what they should do with their own bodies frightens me.

U don't agree with me that legalizing drugs makes them more accessable??
Say that again to yourself. That makes no sense.So we're gonna bust the sellers of the now legal drugs, but not the possesser? Talk about a convoluted message. The assumption that people that already do the drug will be the only ones to seek it out is shortsighted b/c just by the virtue of legalizing something, u r sending the message that it is ok to do. People then will say, hey, it's legal, so it's not so bad. There will be millions. Amsterdam is weed only and it's very controlled. But Mexico and our issues with controlling the border ..? legalizing drugs is a bad idea..
