Legalization: California's Prop 19, on legalizing marijuana, could end Mexico's drug war

Two leading Mexican political analysts speak clearly about the dependence of Mexico's fate on U.S. laws in the realm of the drug trade.

California's Prop 19, on legalizing marijuana, could end Mexico's drug war: "On Nov. 2, Californians will vote on Proposition 19, deciding whether to legalize the production, sale and consumption of marijuana. If the initiative passes, it won't just be momentous for California; it may, at long last, offer Mexico the promise of an exit from our costly war on drugs."
