thewayne: (Stab People Over the Internet)
I left for dinner about 4:30 Monday afternoon and when I got online again about four hours later, I went from zero to 44 spam emails in my Yahoo account! On top of that, my Gmail account had not only a bunch of spam email in the spam account, but a bunch in my inbox that Gmail's filtering didn't count.

Loks like a new month for spam.

Mexico's president will approve a law that decriminalizes possession of small amounts of marijuana, cocaine and other drugs to concentrate on fighting violent drug gangs, the government said on Tuesday.

....

Under the federal law, police will not criminally prosecute people or hand out jail terms for possessing up to 5 grams of marijuana, 5 grams of opium, or 25 milligrams of heroin. Nor does the law penalize possession of 500 milligrams of cocaine -- enough for a few lines.

The legal changes will also decriminalize the possession of limited quantities of LSD, hallucinogenic mushrooms, amphetamines, ecstasy and peyote -- a psychotropic cactus found in Mexico's northern deserts.

....


It will be interesting to see how this plays out in Washington, DC, I'm sure they're not going to be very happy. I think it's a good move, though that seems like a lot of cocaine.
