In a landmark ruling a judge in Mexico has legalized cocaine — but only for two users. The order by the judge to the country’s health authority has raised the possibility that Mexico could, at some point, legalize cocaine use, but only on a case-by-case basis.
The ruling still needs to pass a higher court, but a lower court official has ruled that two claimants should be allowed to “possess, transport and use cocaine,” the BBC reports.
“We have spent years working for a more secure, just and peaceful Mexico. This case is about insisting on the need to stop criminalising … drug users and designing better public policies that explore all the available options.”
New Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, known as AMLO, has said he will end the disastrous drug wars enforced by his predecessors Felipe Calderón and Enrique Peña Nieto. Since the former took office in 2006, Mexico has been plagued by an unprecedented wave of killing as state and federal forces both do battle against, and collude with, drug cartels.
AMLO proposes drug decriminalization, replacing arrests with things like detox programs, the BBC reports.
“The changes will be profound, but these will be carried out with strict respect for the established legal framework. We will carry out a peaceful transformation, ordered, but profound and even radical.”
