Mexico Legalization

A law is being passed in Mexico to legalize small amounts of marijuana, cocaine, and heroine. This news is really weird for me. I never would have thought that countries would start legalizing drugs. I also read in article on New York Times about California's uprising debate to legalize marijuana. This would greatly challenge Federal legislation. If California legalized marijuana it could create a domino affect in other states. I don't really care either way for the legalization, however I do think it could be a good way to get out of our economic recession.
