"Legalization is a very strong word and has lots of difficult connotations, but the depenalization of marijuana, for example, is a more viable path to begin with," he says. The singer, who was promoting his single "Yerbatero" on a visit to Mexico, welcomed the Mexican leader's comments and said that there was a need for a leader with the courage to put the topic up for debate. "Let's hope that this person can be the president of Mexico, or whoever else," Juanes declared. "The former head of state Vincente Fox also made a proposition to legalize drugs, so when Calderon says the same, it seems to be very important."

6 Sept 2009 - From the very first time it was held in 1993, the annual Lowlands festival in Holland has been a legendary weed-filled music festival. This year that legendary status was re-established with hip hop deity Snoop Dogg receiving a huge marijuana plant from the crowd as he was performing on stage. The hip hop star stunningly focused a improvised rap on the odorous tree, giving it a spontaneous serenade. Style-icon Grace Jones, also at the festival, played the crowds without effort during her performance and afterwards shared a joint with fans, as was reported by Dutch newspaper NRC.
