As reported in todays edition of El Manana newspaper Officials of the PGR destroyed “21 toneladas 25 kilos 196 gramos 860 miligramos de marihuana, 1 kilo 659 gramos 700 miligramos de cocaína y mil 859 pastillas psicotrópicas.” Or in other words, 21.25 tons of pot, 1.7 kilos of cocaine and 859 “happy pills”, probably Ecstasy or something similiar.

You can read the story here if you care to. It goes to show Mexico is just as interested in fighting illegal drugs as we are. Although I firmly believe legalization might be the answer and the means to the end.
