well in the matter of 3 days I just happen to have decided to leave everything I know to go live in Mexico for 6 months to a year. I need to get away, and an adventure sounds amazing. What are your thoughts my homies?

As long as it's deliberate/thought out I say go for it man. If its just like oh shit I think i'll just slam shit in the car and take off with no real plan then that can end pretty badly been there done that was an adventure though.

Hell yeah, you're gonna love it. I actually did the same thing last year, moved down to Baja and spent six months drinking tequila and playing music in the streets. Just a couple pieces of advice:
Mexicans are awesome people for the most part, but even they'll be the first to tell you never to straight up trust them. To the average local you're just another stupid American with more money than you know what to do with and they'll gladly take it off your hands. That being said, there are always exceptions and sometimes people do restore your faith in humanity.
Learn as much Spanish as you possibly can even though most people down there will speak English and you think you can get by without. The benefits of being able to communicate in their own language are immeasurable.
Never buy weed on the beach or any other obvious tourist area. Those dealers are predators and take pride in the shitty deals and shitty product they can get you to waste ridiculous amounts of money on. Make friends, go through a local.
Be careful of Tonayan. It's the cheapest booze there is and the patron drink of all homeless people and street urchins across the country. People will tell you that you can go blind from drinking too much, but I just got alcohol poisoning.
The police really are just as notoriously corrupt as you've heard. You'll get certain leeway that locals won't since they want to keep the tourist money flowing in, but when it comes down to it if a cop wants to fuck with you there's really not shit you can do nor any 'rights' you can try and claim. Nine times out of ten they'll just shake you down for whatever cash you have on you rather than take you to jail, but if they do take you in your bail amount is whatever completely arbitrary number that they think they can get out of you/your family. Like most everything else in the country this is open for barter and you can talk the number down. Shouldn't really have to worry about any of this anyway unless you spend a good amount of time walking around at night.
If you have any questions I'll be glad to share what else I can.
p.s. mail me some Delicado cigarros pleeeez?

Thanks for the post man, all the positive advice makes me feel like this is really what I need. I feel strangely drawn to this place, and I'm not sure if its just excitement or something more profound.

Lucid has been MIA for 30 days now...
He talked on chat pretty much everyday while he was down there. Then he was gonna head home.... this is the last we heard of the dude.
Hopefully the lil dude aint in no mexican prison or hurt.... cuz He also was beefing with this mexican drug dealer down there too.

Beef with a mexican drug dealer? That can't turn out too well.
Hopefully he's back home and just doesn't have internet from being away for a while.

Oh, man that video was fucked up. The fucked up thing is the guy on the right who got his head cut off with the chain saw was the lucky one. The sounds that other dude made when getting his head cut off with a knife was fucking brutal.
