The Mexican army is claiming progress in battling drug cartels siting the arrest of a suspected cartel leader in Cancun and the separate detention of 25 suspected traffickers dressed as soldiers.
However other reports speak of gang members dressed as Mexican soldiers harassing and burning villages. 53 inmates even broke out of a jail with the help of a convoy of trucks. Prison guards were held for questioning afterwards because security camera footage reveled guards doing nothing to stop the prisoners from leaving.
As much as I hate to say it the worse things get down there the better it will be for getting marijuana legalised in this country. That may even be true for us as well, the worse it gets here legalization of marijuana will only look like a better option.
I'll keep my first real post in a wile short, let me close by reminding you to call your congress people and let them know that marijuana legalization is important to you. The sooner we fix the law in the US equates to less suffering for the Mexican people caught in the middle of a pointless drug war.
