This is very interesting.

Mexico's Congress approved a bill Friday (president said he will sign it) decriminalizing possession of small amounts of marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine and heroin for personal use. Officials say they hope the measure will allow police to focus on large-scale trafficking operations rather than minor drug busts.

Although this bill maintains criminal penalties for drug sales, criminal charges will no longer be brought for possession of up to 25 milligrams of heroin, 5 grams of marijuana (about one-fifth of an ounce) or 0.5 gram of cocaine.
