Views From the Frontline: Drug Policy in Mexico (original) (raw)

In this paper, I will try to present a general overview of drug politics and policies in México. It may be less scientific, but comes from our experience on the ground. I will refer especially to the impact of Mexican rates of consumption and violence created by the current government's policies. This approach is from the point of view of an NGO specializing in drug policy in México. Sometimes the presentation of scientific facts is not as useful a way to ascertain a panorama of the whole scene.
