Time: “In April 2011, former Mexican President Vicente Fox sat before an audience at the University of Colorado at Boulder and in his baritone voice and frank tone urged Americans to legalize marijuana. His thrust: it could help enervate Mexico’s violent drug cartels. ‘The drug consumer in the U.S. yields billions of dollars, money that goes back to Mexico to bribe police and money that buys guns,’ Fox said. ‘So when you question yourselves about what is going on in Mexico, it depends very much on what happens in this nation.’ At the time, many pundits warned that legalization was a nonstarter. But on Tuesday, voters in Colorado and Washington state did exactly what Fox called for: they approved landmark amendments to legalize, regulate and tax marijuana.”
