The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.

Legalization vs. Whack-a-mole: Mexico's Ex-Leader Vicente Fox: Legalize Drugs to End War
Mexico's Ex-Leader Vicente Fox: Legalize Drugs to End War - TIME: "'Prohibition didn't work in the Garden of Eden. Adam ate the apple,' says Fox, 68.... 'We have to take all the production chain out of the hands of criminals and into the hands of producers — so there are farmers that produce marijuana and manufacturers that process it and distributors that distribute it and shops that sell it ... I don't want to say that legalizing means that drugs are good. They are not good but bad for your health, and you shouldn't take them. But ultimately, this responsibility is with citizens.'"
