Mexico May Allow Some Cocaine, Heroin Use: "Mexicans would be allowed to possess small amounts of cocaine, heroin, even ecstasy for their personal use under a bill approved by lawmakers that some worry could prove to be a lure to young Americans.

The bill now only needs President Vicente Fox's signature to become law and that does not appear to be an obstacle. His office said that decriminalizing drugs will free up police to focus on major dealers.

'This law gives police and prosecutors better legal tools to combat drug crimes that do so much damage to our youth and children,' said Fox's spokesman, Ruben Aguilar."
