Isaac Campos, an assistant professor of history at the University of Cincinnati and a visiting fellow at UC San Diego's Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies, writes today in The Times' Opinion section about how Mexico's policy on marijuana could be contributing to its problem of drug-related violence.
Ironically, decades of being "tough" on drugs has produced a new link between marijuana and violence, but of a different kind. Indeed, the nation's "drug-related" violence today might more accurately be termed "drug-policy-related" violence.
