No, the possible change in the law here reflects what many other countries around the world are doing and for domestic purposes, not tourism, but the law is applied equally to everyone in Belize, citizen or visitor. The change is for possession of small amounts for personal use. The law will not change for trafficking at 59 grams or more or selling. The only change will be a civil fine, community service and/or education for personal possesion and the quantities agreed on (most countries are between 5-10 grams for personal use), what happens to repeat offenders, age limits, etc. This is all in the nascent discovery stages right now and a way to go before anything is presented to the public and Cabinet. As far as the US goes, state and federal laws there conflict; MX is one of many countries who legalized and the President of Guatemala recently offered his proposal for the region. Check how much aid the US gives to Belize; it ain't all that much, unless for drug and crime interdiction, which is in their best interest anyway. So we'll see. Its an interesting discussion for the people of Belize to decide
