Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto claims that marijuana is a “gateway drug”
[Wikipedia]
When asked by the German magazine Der Spiegel about the legalization of marijuana in two U.S. states, Peña Nieto replied: “I’m opposed to legalizing marijuana because it acts as a gateway drug.” [Editor’s note: It doesn’t.]
Over the past six years, more than 60,000 Mexicans have been killed in the Drug War, and some analysts have noted that Peña Nieto has been quieter on the subject than his predecessor, Felipe Calderón, reports Olga Khazan at The Washington Post. While Calderon made the War On Drugs his primary focus, Peña Nieto has shifted the conversation to trade, poverty reduction, and energy reform.
The new president emphasizes education and other social programs, but he comes under criticism for that, since past administrations of his Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) were often seen as corrupt and soft on cartels.
Peña Nieto assures nervous U.S. officials that he will carry on with the Drug War and, of course, continue spending the $2 billion bribe, er, “security assistance package,” from the U.S. known as the Merida Initiative.
I comment when i like a post on a internet site or if We have something to add towards the conversation. Usually it is actually a result of your passion communicated in the put up I browsed. And after this report Audi A6 3.0 TDI quattro Consumption and Costs | Cars Show. I was in fact moved enough to publish a leave a responsea response I do have a couple of questions for you if it’s okay. Could it be just me or does it appear like like a few in the remarks search as when they are written by brain dead folks? And, if you are writing on additional places, I’d like to keep up with you. Would you make a list the complete urls of your manifeste pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook webpage or twitter feed?

And yes, the real shame is that the Democrats made this happen. FDR launched hearings to punish bankers when he fixed the Great Depression-. Obama chose to reward the bankers. The two parties now are simply different faces for the same coin that of the moneyed interests.tera gold

I have to believe that american corporate powers (those with the most at stake from legalization) got to this man early and helped to gild his path into power. Now it is his turn to fulfill his well paid & well appointed “duty” and continue perpetrating the ongoing and seemingly never ending madness that is reefer. A tool, a shill, all gussied up to look just as ‘merican as all the fleas that suck on DC slush funds (ie. tax dollars). The propagandist’s new media darling to be sure.
