Mexico Decriminalizes Some Drug Possession - TIME

(MEXICO CITY) — Mexico decriminalized small amounts of marijuana, cocaine and heroin on Friday — a move that prosecutors say makes sense even in the midst of the government's grueling battle against drug traffickers.


Prosecutors said the new law sets clear limits that keep Mexico's corruption-prone police from shaking down casual users and offers addicts free treatment to keep growing domestic drug use in check.

Some jurisdictions in the USA have already decriminalized possession of marijuana, but it's a slow process. In the elections last November, for instance, Massachusetts voters approved a referendum that decriminalized posession of less than 1 oz. of marijuana, hash, and hash oil.

Wikipedia has a map of US states and municipalities which have thus far decriminalized marijuana for non-medical uses:
