The discussion centers on concerns regarding a recently passed measure by Mexico's Congress that decriminalizes the possession of small amounts of drugs, including cocaine and heroin. Many express fears that this could deter American families from allowing their children to travel to Mexico for Spring Break, as it may attract tourists seeking to use drugs. While some argue that the measure could actually reduce corruption in law enforcement, others highlight the existing issues with police extortion in Mexico, particularly in tourist areas. The conversation also touches on the reality that many young people may engage in risky behaviors regardless of legal changes. Ultimately, the bill has not yet been signed by President Vicente Fox, who has indicated a need for revisions.
