TIJUANA -- Police discovered the tortured and burned bodies of six men in an empty lot Monday morning, ending a period of relative calm in this border city beset by drug war violence.

Eleven bodies have been discovered since Saturday in violence believed to be drug-related, including the corpse of a woman found in a barrel, state and federal authorities said.

The weekend tally pushed the city's death toll this year to more than 260, compared with about 152 homicides at this time last year, and underscored authorities' difficulties curbing organized crime.

None of the victims had been identified by late Monday, and authorities did not offer any motives for the killings. But the grisly nature of the deaths -- some of the victims' heads were wrapped in plastic -- suggested that the victims were killed by gangsters, authorities said.

Although I don't smoke it I agree with you. The gov't is spending hundreds of millions of dollars tryind to contain the selling and use of it when they could be smart about it and make money off it.
