In California's battle to legalize marijuana, former Mexican President Vicente Fox has picked a side, announcing in a recent radio interview that he favors Prop. 19.
"How great it would be for California to set this example," he said, speaking to the W radio network on Wednesday. "May God let it pass. The other U.S. states will have to follow step." The quote was first snagged stateside by McClatchy Newspapers.
The former president also criticized his successor's violent campaign against the drug cartels, suggesting that the country's path has been ultimately destructive.
"Violence never resolves violence," he said.
