Sadly in this context, I fear living by the sword isn't really a choice.

You always have the choice... right or wrong... leave or stay...

I dont think you exactly get to leave with a good luck card and a bottle of wine.

In this context, I think that might be a little naive. I imagine it might be impossible to avoid being involved with the gangs in some neighbourhoods.

Daily Mail strikes again..

I have been to Mexico, 2 years ago. Was fine, the old district is amazing. You know you're safe if you can find Starbucks and burger king.

There really is no censorship though, some of the stuff I saw in the paper was shocking. The drug war over there is something else, even bloggers are killed by cartel en mass for posting their opinions. Mexico is dangerous no doubt, but so is south-east London. Just stay in the safe parts and have fun.

Very scary country nowadays.

Someone just needs to tell America there is oil under Ciudad Juarez and they'll sort that mess right out.

The mexican cartel doesn't seem content to confine their wrath to other cartels - http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/09/mexican-cartels-hang-disembowel-internet-snitches/

They deployed the army in 2006 and the killings increased.

Won't be a problem, unless they cross or criticise the drug cartels.

The Heads were invited to a party but they didn't have any Body to go with.

ZING!

It won't drop but 1) Junkies won't have to resort to crime because legalised drugs will be off the black market and mass produced and thus cheap and 2) Less danger of overdosing because legalised drugs will be well regulated.

Not to mention that the profits won't go to the cartels so they will dry up.

Governments don't think this way though.

From what I've read online small quantities of all drugs are decriminalised in Mexico.

Grown by thousands of poor farmers on small plots.

the problem isnt the producers, it's the USERS..... no demand will mean less supply.... if there is demand, you'll never eradicate supply....

unfortunately you'll never get rid of all users, but our society takes a far too lenient approach.....
