网友讨论：墨西哥即将大麻合法化，有望成为世界上最大的大麻市场
正文翻译
MEXICO CITY — Lawmakers in Mexico approved a bill Wednesday night to legalize recreational marijuana, a milestone for the country, which is in the throes of a drug war and could become the world’s largest cannabis market, leaving the United States between two pot-selling neighbors.
周三晚上，墨西哥议员通过了一项法案，将娱乐性大麻合法化。这对墨西哥来说是一个里程碑。墨西哥正处于毒品战争的阵痛之中，可能会成为全球最大的大麻市场，使美国陷入两个贩卖大麻的邻国之间。

The 316-to-129 vote in Mexico’s lower house, the Chamber of Deputies, came more than two years after the Mexican Supreme Court ruled that the country’s ban on recreational marijuana was unconstitutional and more than three years after the country legalized medicinal cannabis.
墨西哥下议院众议院以316票对129票通过，是在墨西哥最高法院裁定该国禁止娱乐性大麻违宪的两年多之后，也是在该国将药用大麻合法化的三年多之后。

The chamber approved the bill in general terms Wednesday evening before moving on to a lengthy discussion of possible revisions introduced by individual lawmakers. In its final form, though, the measure is widely expected to sail through the Senate before being sent to President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who has signaled support for legalization.
周三晚上，众议院大体上通过了这项法案，然后就个别立法者可能提出的修改意见进行了长时间的讨论。尽管如此，该法案的最终版本预计会在参议院顺利通过，然后提交给洛佩斯·奥布拉多尔总统，后者已经表示支持合法化。

The measure, as of Wednesday night, would allow adults to smoke marijuana and, with a permit, grow a small number of cannabis plants at home. It would also grant licenses for producers — from small farmers to commercial growers — to cultivate and sell the crop.
这项措施，从周三晚上开始，将允许成年人吸食大麻，并允许他们在家里种植少量的大麻植物。它还将向从小农户到商业种植户的生产商颁发种植和销售这种作物的许可证。

“Today we are in a historic moment,” said Simey Olvera, a lawmaker with the governing Morena party. “With this, the false belief that cannabis is part of Mexico’s serious public health problems is left behind.”
执政党莫雷纳党议员西米 · 奥尔维拉说“今天，我们正处在一个历史性时刻。这样一来，那些认为大麻是墨西哥严重公共卫生问题一部分的错误观点就不复存在了。”

If enacted, Mexico would join Canada and Uruguay in a small but growing list of countries that have legalized marijuana in the Americas, adding further momentum to the legalization movement in the region. In the United States, Democrats in the Senate have also promised to scrap federal prohibition of the drug this year.
如果获得通过，墨西哥将加入加拿大和乌拉圭的行列，成为在美洲合法化大麻的国家之一，这个名单虽然不多，但正在不断扩大，进一步推动了该地区的大麻合法化运动。在美国，参议院的民主党人也承诺今年废除联邦政府对大麻的禁令。

For “Mexico, given its size and its worldwide reputation for being damaged by the drug war, to take this step is enormously significant,” said John Walsh, director of drug policy for the Washington Office on Latin America, a U.S. advocacy group. “North America is heading toward legalization.”
美国倡导组织华盛顿拉丁美洲办公室的毒品政策主任约翰 · 沃尔什说“墨西哥来说，考虑到它的规模，以及它在世界范围内因毒品战争而受损的声誉，采取这一步骤意义重大。北美也正走向合法化。”

Critics say it is unlikely to make a serious dent in Mexico’s soaring rates of cartel-fueled violence, and argue that it is unwelcome in a country where nearly two-thirds of people oppose legalizing marijuana, according to recent polling.
批评人士称，这不太可能对墨西哥不断飙升的贩毒集团引发的暴力事件产生重大影响。根据最近的民意调查，墨西哥近三分之二的人反对大麻合法化，批评人士认为这不受欢迎。

“It’s a political fad,” said Damián Zepeda Vidales, a senator with the opposition National Action Party and one of the bill’s most vocal detractors. “It’s a matter for politicians, for an elite that’s now empowered in Congress and in government that wants to impose a way of life on society.”
反对党国家行动党参议员达米安 · 塞佩达 · 维达莱斯说，“这只是一种政治风潮。”维达莱斯是该法案最强烈的批评者之一。“这是政客们的事，是国会和政府授权的精英们的事，他们想把一种生活方式强加于社会。”

Security experts agree that the law’s practical impact on violence will likely be minimal: With 15 American states having now legalized marijuana, they argue, the crop has become a relatively small part of the Mexican drug trafficking business, with cartels focusing on more profitable products like fentanyl and methamphetamines.
安全专家一致认为，该法律对暴力的实际影响可能微乎其微: 他们认为，随着美国15个州现在已经使大麻合法化，大麻作物已经成为墨西哥非法毒品贸易业务中相对较小的一部分，贩毒集团专注于更有利可图的产品，如芬太尼和甲基苯丙胺。

“We shouldn’t overestimate the power of this bill,” said Falko Ernst, senior Mexico analyst for the International Crisis Group, a global research organization. The bill will not “substantially change the dynamics and drivers of lethal conflict in Mexico.”
全球研究机构国际危机组织的高级墨西哥分析师法尔科 · 恩斯特说，“我们不应该高估这项法案的影响力。”。该法案不会“从根本上改变墨西哥致命冲突的动态和驱动因素”

Proponents of legalizing marijuana contend that the bill is too limited in scope, even if it represents a symbolic breakthrough in the push to end a drug war that has cost an estimated 150,000 lives, according to the Council on Foreign Relations.
大麻合法化的支持者认为，该法案的适用范围过于狭窄，尽管根据美国对外关系委员会的数据，该法案代表着结束毒品战争的一个象征性突破，这场战争已导致约15万人丧生。

Legalization “is an important step toward building peace in a country like ours, where for at least a decade or more, we’ve been immersed in an absurd war,” said Lucía Riojas Martínez, a Mexican congresswoman who made headlines in 2019 when she gave a rolled joint to the country’s interior minister, Olga Sánchez Cordero, after delivering a speech in Congress.
合法化“是在像我们这样的国家建设和平的重要一步，至少十年或更长时间以来，我们一直陷入于一场荒谬的战争之中，”墨西哥国会女议员露西亚 · 里奥哈斯 · 马丁内斯说。2019年，她在国会发表演讲后，把一根卷好的大麻烟递给内政部长奥尔加 · 桑切斯 · 科尔德罗，成为了媒体关注的焦点。

It is also unclear how much the law will benefit Mexico’s poor farmers, who have grown marijuana for decades and often end up in the middle of conflicts between warring drug trafficking groups.

The bill mandates that small farmers and Indigenous people be given priority in licensing, but stipulates only that these vulnerable groups can be granted more than one license.
该法案规定小农户和土著人农场主可以优先获得许可证，但只规定这些弱势群体可以获得不止一个许可证。

And without additional state policies to tackle organized crime, particularly in areas where marijuana is grown, said Mr. Ernst, such well-intentioned requirements may not have a meaningful impact for farmers in the regions controlled by cartels.
恩斯特先生说，如果没有额外的国家政策来打击有组织犯罪，特别是在种植大麻的地区，这种善意的要求可能对贩毒集团控制的地区的农民没有实际的影响。

Some activists fear that the law will overly favor large corporations that could obtain what the bill terms an “integral license,” giving them access to the entire marijuana supply chain, from seed to sale, while leaving small-scale producers and vendors locked out of the lucrative market.
一些活动人士担心，这部法律会过分偏袒那些能够获得法案所称的“整体许可证”的大公司，让他们能够接触到从种子到销售的整个大麻供应链，而让小规模生产商和销售商被排除在利润丰厚的市场之外。

The bill in Mexico would allow individual users to carry up to 28 grams of marijuana and grow six cannabis plants at home. Cannabis could also be purchased by adults over 18 at authorized businesses, and grown at larger scale by licensed groups. Medical marijuana, which Mexico legalized in 2017, would be regulated separately by the health ministry, which published rules in January covering the growing and research of medicinal cannabis.
墨西哥的法案允许个人最多携带28克的大麻，并允许在家中最多种植6株大麻。18岁以上的成年人也可以在授权企业购买大麻，并由获得许可的团体大规模种植。墨西哥于2017年将医用大麻合法化，并由卫生部单独监管。卫生部在今年1月份发布了有关药用大麻种植和研究的规定。

Local advocates say the restrictions on possession will limit the bill’s impact, particularly for low-income consumers, who may fall prey to extortion from the police, a regular occurrence in Mexico.
当地的倡导者说，对拥有权的限制将限制该法案的影响，特别是对低收入消费者，他们可能会成为警察勒索的牺牲品，这在墨西哥是经常发生的。

It began as a Supreme Court ruling, made its way to Senate for legislative shaping, went down to The House (sort of equivalent) for revisions. They made a few and approved it; I'm not sure if it goes back to Senate for ratification.

Weed hasn't been profitable for the cartels for 20 years....they've moved on to coke, heroin, fentanyl, meth, pills etc.
In 2000/2001, I was buying 10 lbs of Sinaloas okayest weed at wholesale for $3,500-$3,750.
Now, I was buying the weed in dallas from the dopeman. He was probably buying them in 100+ pound blocks from a bigger dopeman in Houston who probably got them by the truck load from Mexico(likely a semitruck load from somewhere just north of the border)
The cartel was probably getting in the neighborhood of 250-300/# of weed wholesale, but they had to produce the goods, pay the drivers, pay the bribes and take all of the risk..
They were probably bringing in loads of thousands or tens of thousands of pounds, and likely making hundreds of thousands of dollars per shipment.
Now, once border restrictions tightened (9/11) they switched the game up. They had a harder time bringing in giant loads, so they started bringing drugs in smaller amounts (via backpacking and hiking, in passenger cars etc). OR instead of being able to get 10 trucks through in a day, they could only get 1. The bribes got too expensive for 1 truck load of weed (I.e. if you have to pay a 1m bribe, you need a product that will make you millions, not hundreds of K).
The 4.5 kilos(10#) of weed i was buying for $3,500 would've been well over $100k if it was cocaine.
Its a very simple math problem. If I can bring in 100 pounds of drugs, I'd rather make $1.25M vs $35k.
The legal market will be shit in Mexico. The average Jose doesn't earn enough to smoke it, and the wealthy class either already sells drugs or is very much against it.
墨西哥贩毒集团20年来都没有从大麻中获利... 他们转向了可卡因、海洛因、芬太尼、冰毒、药片等。
在2000年/2001年，我以3500美元到3750美元的批发价购买了10磅锡那罗亚最好的大麻。
现在，我在达拉斯从毒贩那里买大麻。他可能是在一百多个街区内，从休斯顿的一个更大的毒贩那里买的，那个毒贩可能是从墨西哥用卡车运来的(很可能是一辆半挂式卡车从边境北边的某个地方运来的)
这个贩毒集团可能批发大约250磅到300磅的大麻，但他们不得不生产产品，向司机支付报酬，行贿并承担所有风险...
他们可能会带来成千上万英镑的货物，每批货物可能会有数十万美元的收入。
现在，一旦边境限制收紧(9/11)，他们就改变了游戏规则。他们很难把大量的毒品运进来，所以他们开始把毒品的数量减少(通过背包徒步旅行，乘坐客车等方式)。或者，他们只能让一辆卡车通过，因为不能在一天内让十辆卡车通过。对于一卡车的大麻来说，贿赂成本太高了(也就是说，如果你必须支付一百万美元的贿赂，而你需要的是一种能让你赚上几百万美元而不是几十万美元的产品)。
我花3500美元买的4.5公斤(10镑)大麻，如果是可卡因的话，就远远超过了10万美元。
这是一道非常简单的数学题。如果我能带来100磅毒品，我宁愿赚125万美元，而不是3.5万美元。
墨西哥的法律市场会一团糟的。普通人挣的钱不够抽大麻，而富裕阶层要么已经在卖毒品，要么非常反对。
Weed hasn't been profitable for the cartels for 20 years....they've moved on to coke, heroin, fentanyl, meth, pills etc.
In 2000/2001, I was buying 10 lbs of Sinaloas okayest weed at wholesale for $3,500-$3,750.
Now, I was buying the weed in dallas from the dopeman. He was probably buying them in 100+ pound blocks from a bigger dopeman in Houston who probably got them by the truck load from Mexico(likely a semitruck load from somewhere just north of the border)
The cartel was probably getting in the neighborhood of 250-300/# of weed wholesale, but they had to produce the goods, pay the drivers, pay the bribes and take all of the risk..
They were probably bringing in loads of thousands or tens of thousands of pounds, and likely making hundreds of thousands of dollars per shipment.
Now, once border restrictions tightened (9/11) they switched the game up. They had a harder time bringing in giant loads, so they started bringing drugs in smaller amounts (via backpacking and hiking, in passenger cars etc). OR instead of being able to get 10 trucks through in a day, they could only get 1. The bribes got too expensive for 1 truck load of weed (I.e. if you have to pay a 1m bribe, you need a product that will make you millions, not hundreds of K).
The 4.5 kilos(10#) of weed i was buying for $3,500 would've been well over $100k if it was cocaine.
Its a very simple math problem. If I can bring in 100 pounds of drugs, I'd rather make $1.25M vs $35k.
The legal market will be shit in Mexico. The average Jose doesn't earn enough to smoke it, and the wealthy class either already sells drugs or is very much against it.

Got a source on that?
20年来，大麻一直没有为贩毒集团带来利润

Who knows though the government in this shitty country is pretty fucking stupid. I would be shocked if it was legalized soon.
谁知道这个操蛋国家的政府是不是真他妈的蠢。如果它很快合法化，我会感到震惊的。

A guy I knew died of alcohol poisoning. That's all you had to say. Not make it sound like a spook story you heard on the playground.
我认识的一个人死于酒精中毒。这就是你要说的全部。不要让它听起来像是你在操场上听到的鬼故事。

That was a needlessly roundabout way to say what you said.
你那样拐弯抹角地说话，真没必要。

It's basically what some U.S. states did but on a national level and minus the initiated ballot measures.
Other than Switzerland pretty much no other country out there has an equivalent to America's state-level initiated referendums, so you're probably not going to see that many countries legalize cannabis in the piecemeal way the USA currently is.
这基本上就是美国一些州所做的事情，但在国家层面上，免去了最初的投票措施。
除了瑞士，几乎没有其他国家有类似于美国州级发起的全民公投，所以你可能不会看到很多国家像美国现在这样一点一点地将大麻合法化。

After the Supreme Court's ruling, they put up a deadline for April 30th of this year for the guidelines to be set and approved - so voting in the senate should make it official by april, but who knows when it will go into effect.
在最高法院的裁决之后，他们把今年4月30日定为制定和批准该指导方针的最后期限，所以参议院的投票应该在4月之前使其正式生效，但谁知道它什么时候生效。

I vaguely remember there was a push for decriminalization quite a few years ago, not legalization, in the the Mexican legislature but pressure from the US government hampered it. This was well before the recent wave of legalization in US states.
我依稀记得，几年前，墨西哥立法机构曾推动毒品非犯罪化，而不是合法化，但美国政府的压力阻碍了这一进程。这远远早于最近美国各州的大麻合法化浪潮。

I think we should all take a moment to thank the real hero here, the United States of America.
After all, Mexico could not have become the world's largest market for marijuanna without America's barbaric and racist War on Drugs.
So thank you America! Keep exporting those "traditional values!"
我想我们都应该花点时间感谢这里真正的英雄，美利坚合众国。
毕竟，如果没有美国的野蛮和种族主义的毒品战争，墨西哥不可能成为世界上最大的大麻市场。
所以，感谢美国! 继续输出这些“传统价值观”吧！
