Mexico: President Proposes Legalizing Medical Marijuana
-------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Mexican President Enrique Peņa Nieto has proposed legalizing
marijuana-based medicine and releasing some prisoners serving time on
minor marijuana charges. This comes as a number of Latin American
countries pushed back on U.S.-led "war on drugs" policies that have
contributed to widespread violence and drug trafficking, during a
special session of the U.N. General Assembly this week.
