Even with the case having to be brought to the SC, I wonder if this is Mexico’s initial step toward attempting to curb the drug cartels. With the states legalizing recreational marihuana, that has already slowed down a lot of the over-the-border smuggling, at least IIRC without digging up articles.
OT: Canada seems to maybe thinking the same thing with legalizing. If we legalize it, we’re erasing the incentive of backpacking through the back channels of the Canada-US border.
- goatsi 8y agoAll of the weed transiting the Canada/US border is flowing from Canada into the US. Canada legalizing weed will have little to no impact on that, except reducing the risks for the Canadian growers. Legalization in several US states, especially Washington and California has already killed most of that trade though. There is plenty of weed being grown in the US now, and it's much easier to move it between states than it is to move it over a border.
