I just got back from 5 months of camping and mushroom hunting in Mexico, mostly by myself, and the only thing the cartels ever try to do to me is sell me weed.

The whole year, if you look enough. But mushroom season is generally late June (finales de Junio) through late October (Octubre).
The best months are July and August. September is also really good. This year I left Mexico on December 1, and the season around Xalapa was still quite good when I left. It usually trails off in late October.

Dude don’t give it away!
Mexico is one of the coolest countries I’ve ever been too. Im sure you could get kidnapped if you were in an obviously wrong area flashing money, but go try that same thing in your local hood and see how it works. Let people think what they will. Ive spent a decent amount of time in Mexico and never once felt like my life was in danger, and i was pretty obviously an american tourist with a small grasp on spanish at best.

a lot of what i have seen in the news in the past year on mexico points to it being a bit of a warzone. that may not be true in all areas, but i definitely saw armed militia in armored vehicles there to deal with the growing problem of i guess what would be cartel forces.

So far mexico city seems very safe for a big city, and the people are very friendly. I know it can be different in other parts but its cool to hear u didnt have any problems alan. Huge police presence here but they dont seem to be harassing anyone or anything from what I can tell.
Went to zoological, museo de anthropological, contemporary art. Cool places... tons of walking. The park they are in is huge! And its lined with brightly colored vendors yelling back and forth advertising there items. Quite entertaining. Listened to some really awesome jammyjazz at coffee shop in zona rosa last night.
Going to the bazaar de Sabado today in san angel and gonna explore coyoacan.

You probably have a bigger chance of getting fucked with police than running into a cartel. Last year my friends spent the night in jail just for walking down the street at 1am.

He didn't go to jail for walking down the street, he went to jail for not paying the cops. Since he wasn't caught doing anything illegal he probably could have gotten off for a good price, but that is a risk you take if you walk around totally broke.

This type of behavior by the police can be limited if the citizens in Mexico will simply report the time, date, officer (or a description of the officer), and the incident. The citizen should simply make a phone call to an attorney while filing corruption charges against the city (ie John Doe VS the city of Tijuana).
If enough quality people stand up against corruption, it will be exposed and reduced.

I guess that's true. They had other randoms in the back of the truck by the time they were picked up. Sucks cause they just went for late night tacos and me and another buddy had to bail them out in the morning.
