The latest Narco News Bulletin reports that New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson intends to raise the issue of legalization in meetings with US and Mexican border governors this weekend, perhaps with Mexico President Vicente Fox. Fox expressed support for globally enacted legalization in comments made to reporters last March. Last April, Gov. Patricio Martinez of the border state of Chihuahua added his support to the debate.
