Even with the case having to be brought to the SC, I wonder if this is Mexico’s initial step toward attempting to curb the drug cartels. With the states legalizing recreational marihuana, that has already slowed down a lot of the over-the-border smuggling, at least IIRC without digging up articles.

OT: Canada seems to maybe thinking the same thing with legalizing. If we legalize it, we’re erasing the incentive of backpacking through the back channels of the Canada-US border.
