Won't they wreck their "Spring Break" industry? No way in hell will American parents let their kids go down there if this passes. Not the ones who have any sense anyway.

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) -- Police and business owners from Mexico's beaches to border cities say they are worried a measure passed by Mexico's Congress that decriminalizes possession of cocaine, heroin and other drugs could attract droves of tourists solely looking to get high.
Mexican and U.S. government officials insist that the bill eliminates legal hurdles to prosecuting drug crimes large and small. But it also lays out specific amounts of drugs -- including marijuana, cocaine, heroin and Ecstasy -- that can be legally possessed for personal use.
President Vicente Fox has yet to sign the bill, but his office praised it shortly after Congress approved it Friday.
