Vicente Fox, former president of Mexico, believes that legalization of marijuana in Mexico is the solution to the extreme cartel violence in Mexico.
Of course while he was in office he was prohibitionist; my understanding is that he believes that faltering prohibition in America (primarily signaled by legalization in Colorado and Washington, and near de facto legalization in California) presents an opportunity to legalize in Mexico and choke out the cartels.

- Crito 13y agoThis would be the case if you completely ignore what he actually says. The merit of his arguments can be evaluated, we don't need to just judge his character. And of course he flat out admits that he would like to grow and sell it. That is no secret.
