Gael Garcia Bernal has called for drugs to be legalized.

The Mexican actor says the trade of illegal substances is the cause of the majority of problems in his home country and believes that if they were decriminalized, it would reduce crime.

The Motorcycle Diaries star explained, “Drugs are illegal—therefore, there’s a fight. I hope drugs become legalized in Mexico. If drugs were legal, there would be nothing to fight about.”

Gael is not the only actor to call for drugs to be legalized. Earlier this year, Rhys Ifans admitted he considers marijuana a “beneficial herb” and is adamant that it should be freely available. The Welsh actor, who is currently filming Mr. Nice, a biopic of notorious cannabis smuggler Howard Marks, said,

“A lot of people like dope in Wales and Howard is its champion. The reason why he sold it is because he thinks, and I agree, that it’s a beneficial herb. I feel marijuana should be legalized. Not so that people get high all over the place, but so it can be controlled. Drugs have been legal longer than they have been illegal, and it’s just hypocrisy to be able to sell alcohol to children while marijuana is illegal.”
