PUSH TO LEGALISE POT

Former Mexican president Vicente Fox took his crusade to legalise
cannabis to San Francisco yesterday, joining pot advocates to urge the
United States and his own country to decriminalise the sale and
recreational use of the drug. Fox met with advocates, including Steve
DeAngelo, the Oakland-based executive director of California's largest
cannabis dispensary, and former Microsoft executive Jamen Shively, who
hopes to create a Seattle-based cannabis brand now that Washington
State has legalised its recreational use.
