It’s no surprise most people reading this blog believe in the legalization of marijuana. But, what about other drugs?

The small country of Ecuador, packed with 13 million people, definitely does not come to mind when you think about taking a ‘cannacation’ in a prime blazing destination. For one thing, weed remains illegal in Ecuador, while it is decriminalized, or even legalized, in other South American countries, such as Colombia and Peru. But that doesn’t mean it’s hard to find some herb in some parts of the country.

While the mountainous regions in the central part of Ecuador remain more conservative, the coast is a different story. Montañita (“Little Hill/Mountain”), located on Ecuador’s south/central coast about 180km north of Guayaquil, has been transformed from a sleepy fishing village to a surfing mecca.  After too much booze on the first night, and a nasty hangover to follow, it was clear our remaining 3 days in Montañita would be spent puffing instead of drinking.

It was just last August when Mexico decriminalized up to 5 grams of marijuana for personal use. Now, a movement towards full legalization is gaining popularity in the largest Spanish speaking country in the world. Once taboo, smoking marijuana is being discussed openly among many Mexicans, especially youth. Many have seen the destruction that the War on Drugs has had on their country and realize it’s time for a change.

Mexican president Filipe Calderon said he would support a national debate on the issue of legalization, reversing the stance he held earlier. However, he noted there are factors which would make it difficult for Mexico to legalize marijuana, namely, the US. “It would be very difficult for Mexico to legalize when its northern neighbor, the most powerful country in the world, is against legalization,” he said. “Mexico could not do that unilaterally without provoking a very strong political reaction from the United States.”

According to a national survey, 5 million Mexicans, or 5% of the population, use marijuana, and it’s popularity has been growing in recent years. There are mixed feeling as to whether or not legalizing marijuana would reduce drug violence in Mexico. While it would make smuggling the herb much less profitable for criminal organizations, cocaine is currently much more lucrative and is the focus of many drug smuggling operations.
