Mexico Drug Bill Downed

Mexico president Vincente Fox, longtime supporter of global drug decriminalization, has recently decided against signing a bill decriminalizing possession of small amounts of currently illegal drugs, like marijuana, in Mexico; the Mexican senate had already passed the bill. The UK Guardian writes that Fox has bowed to pressure from the US, which "...fears that decriminalisation could encourage Amsterdam-style drug tourism from the thousands of young Americans who visit Mexican resorts such as Cancun and Acapulco each year."
