There is an extensive network of expats on bulletin boards in Mexico.

About one million American expats live in Mexico full time and another eleven million visit there each year.
Why has there been a surge of violent crime in Mexican cities along the border of Mexico and Us?
The Mexican War on Drugs (2006-present) is the reason. Mexican military and federal police forces have disrupted the 'status quo' between drug cartels, so these criminal organizations are fighting against each other and against the Mexican government to secure drug transport routes into the US as well as local drug markets. This has resulted in routine shootings and even massacres between drug cartels, sending 'messages' towards each other in the form of very violent and gruesome executions. To date, there have been more than 30,000 people dead due to this conflict.

What states is marijuana fully legal?
None right now. The states may have passed laws approving pot, but the federal DEA still has it as illegal. I live in CA and medical marijuana was approved by voters but the federal DEA has come in closing the shops selling it. One of the by products of the voter approval has been Mexican cartels coming into the state and growing vast acres of pot. No one thought of that happening. The cartels have killed people trying to steal from them. A few months ago a teenager and his friends tried that and his body was recently found.
