Wow--Mexico legalizes drugs for personal use

Mexico set to decriminalize pot and cocaine

[ QUOTE ]
Under the legislation, police will not penalise people for possessing up to 5 grams of marijuana, 5 grams of opium, 25 milligrams of heroin or 500 milligrams of cocaine.

People caught with larger quantities of drugs will be treated as narcotics dealers and face increased jail terms under the plan.

The legal changes will also decriminalise the possession of limited quantities of other drugs, including LSD, hallucinogenic mushrooms, amphetamines and peyote -- a psychotropic cactus found in Mexico's northern deserts.

So 5 grams of marijuana is a bit less than a quarter ounce. That'd last most people a couple weeks at least. What about the other drugs? Is half a gram of cocaine a lot? 5 grams of opium?

Five grams of mexican herb is a fun night for two. Half a gram of coke is super weak sauce.

Mexican weed sucks ballsgina. It's not like dro where you can just smoke a bowl and get a good buzz so 5 grams isn't going to last long.

1/2 gram of coke isn't even enough to get you through a night of good partying.

I don't know about opium. I wish I did but I don't.

Only allowing 5 grams of MJ is weak. I wouldn't be able to have a week's supply without risking being busted as a dealer.

[bottomset]

are there going to be gov't sanctioned shops to sell it?

[ChoicestHops]

Very nice. No need to pay off the Mexican police anymore when you get caught.

I really don't understand how you can have 5 grams of opium and its just like holding 5 grams of mj though.
