Subject: Former   Mexican president Vicente Fox, who fought bloody drug cartels between 2000   and 2006 while in office, now argues for changing Mexico’s drug laws, since   prohibition has helped create the criminal market that now maintains these   ruthless gangs.

Weigh the case for and against drug legalization and   conclude with your opinion concerning this issue. Click on this link to download a couple of   articles on the subject.
