Mexico's path to drug decriminalization
Guerrero Senator-elect former
activist, commander of community police and formerly wrongfully imprisoned, Nestora
Salgado, supports the next federal
government’s position to decriminalize the use of drugs.
Yesterday, Olga Sánchez
Cordero, following the Secretary of the Interior, announced that
she will present to the UN an interpretative guideline of international drug
treaties in order to make the rules more
flexible and move towards decriminalization in Mexico.
In this regard, Nestora
Salgo, who was commander of the Community Police of Olinalá, warned that
violence around drugs has been responsible for many deaths in Mexico.
"We have to support
the proposal (to decriminalize drugs), we have to find ways to avoid so much
death, they are the cause that have caused us so much death in Mexico, then, by
decriminalizing it, I think it would be avoided," she said.
"The drug will never
cease to exist, but I feel that it has been one of the greatest causes of what
is happening in our country."
She added that along with
decriminalization there should be education for all children, from home to
school, to raise awareness of the effects of drugs.
"For example, at my
age, I have not tried marijuana, or cocaine, because I was educated about the
danger at home," she said.
The future legislator of the
Morena party also supported the proposal that her native State sent to the
federal Congress to legalize the poppy for medicinal purposes.
"Cultivate the plant
is not the problem, the problem is the derivative of the plant, there they have
to regulate that part. Where is the crime?", she reflected.

Ok Nestora also legalize kidnappings, extorntions and for sure all killings will come to a stop.
ReplyDeletePlease don't be ignorant , do the math , if it gets legal , at least the mota maybe la coca and the poppie
DeleteMr Balls your wrong
DeleteA simple fix of legalizing a drug, will not cure, the everyday rampant killings, in Mexico, people are killed for other various crimes. The security cheif Duranzo, and Nectora are way off, in this one.

The very most - but not all! - are killed because of drugs. Why? Because that is where the big profit is!
DeleteDecriminalization sounds like the only alternative. Consumption will never cease.
ReplyDeleteImplementations of a health issue with treatment is best fitting. Along with Incentives for education and employment.
Crime will continue regardless. Whether criminalizing or decriminalizing.
Give the criminals a reward . Now let them grow it without being arrested . Seems to me like the Mexican government are a bunch of fools . The violence is coming from the middle man who is trying to make a lot of money without working. What you gonna do with him ? Give him a pension ?
ReplyDeleteStupid! The problem is the profitability of ILLEGAL drugs! Its huge and people are ready to kill for it. If its decriminalized it wont be profitable.
DeleteAre there perhaps large crime syndicates deaöing in tobacco and alcohol where you live?
Don't worry if not profitable, they will resort to extortions, kidnappings, inn which they already do ok bobo.
DeleteWho is that dude with her ? He looks familiar.
ReplyDeleteI thought that was Javier Duarte or Prince rolls royce
