U.S. states' pot legalization not in line with international law: U.N. agency
VIENNA Wed Nov 12, 2014 10:21am EST

(Reuters) - Moves by some U.S. states to legalize marijuana are not in line with international drugs conventions, the U.N. anti-narcotics chief said on Wednesday, adding he would discuss the issue in Washington next week.

Residents of Oregon, Alaska, and the U.S. capital voted this month to allow the use of marijuana, boosting the legalization movement as cannabis usage is increasingly recognized by the American mainstream.

"I don't see how (the new laws) can be compatible with existing conventions," Yury Fedotov, executive director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), told reporters.

Asked whether there was anything the UNODC could do about it, Fedotov said he would raise the problem next week with the U.S. State Department and other U.N. agencies.

The Oregon and Alaska steps would legalize recreational cannabis use and usher in a network of shops similar to those operating in Washington state and Colorado, which in 2012 voted to become the first U.S. states to allow marijuana use for fun.

Marijuana remains classified as an illegal narcotic under federal law, although the Obama administration has said it was giving individual states leeway to carry out their own recreational-use statutes.

Fedotov suggested the U.S. developments may be part of a wider trend that he said the UNODC was following.

On the international level, Uruguay's parliament in late 2013 approved a bill to legalize and regulate the production and sale of marijuana -- the first country to do so.

The International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) has said Uruguay's new bill contravened the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, which it says requires states to limit the use of cannabis to medical and scientific purposes, due to its dependence-producing potential. The Vienna-based INCB monitors compliance with this and two other drug control treaties.

Fuck off UN!

[JK/SEA]

they're going to 'raise' the problem of how to get a percentage of the tax money raised by the selling of hoonah....

come and take it motherfucker.

[acptulsa]

Keep weed illegal. Because the rich internationalists club says so.

But don't put the people who smoke it in solitary confinement...

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?462889-80-000-Prisoners-in-Solitary-US-Summoned-to-UN-Torture-Hearings

How about we ignore the UN, end Prohibition, and let the solitary confinement problem (and the one quarter of your adult population is behind bars problem) take care of itself?

One thing's certain. Ignoring the UN is the first, most important ingredient.

Yup.

Orthogonal issue: would it not be a real hoot if cannabis smuggling were to reverse directions at our southern border?

[jmdrake]

Good. Maybe this will get some progressives to rethink globalism and even federalism.

[Christian Liberty]

So now not only do our state and federal governments claim to own us, but the UN does to?

We need to get the heck out of the UN.

Probably should have done something in the sixties before it got this big. This book gives us a glimpse of how badly intermingled the UN is within the US. My scanner attempt didn't catch everything to clearly so I tried to make up for it with shitty photography.

Heh. So then we genetically modify it to remove so called characteristics of dependency, require prescription for the good shit, and big pharma/biotech gets to keep the right of use and terms of controversy with regard to the plant in it's native form? Does that sound about right? Scwewy how international standards and subsequent test ban treaties creep up on us when we aren't paying attention.

Wait for it...

They should be told that if they come they will be shot on sight.

UPDATE: "there are a dozen guns behind each blade of glass" :D

[twomp]

There are some here who would argue that if Congress votes to have the UN be in charge of these things. Then they can be in charge of it because Congress said so.

I'd mount one on my wall next to my buck from last season.

Change the "international" Law.

Just the same way you created it,, with the stroke of a pen.

Check out the TPP thread. If congress who is in charge of transactions with other countries can pass that power on to the UN. Why shouldn't congress pass out other powers to the UN as well?

"Legalization" is a slave-mentality term..stooooooooooooooopid...

There won't be any 'law' 'legalizing' anything..

If/when justice, common sense and decency prevail, any/all 'laws' intended to deny us our unalienable rights to self-medication, ingestion, plant cultivation, etc. will be repealed...

Good grief!!...This is an easy one!!! And these stinking Republicrats---even the so-called (phony) 'Liberty' politicians---can't get it right!!!

Republicans and Democrats put the 'ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo' in stoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooopid!

I don't see how your opinion or the opinion of the UNODC on this matter is worth more than a pile of dog shit.

A message to the United States Federal Government and the UN:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8AuMOGx_KY

[Anti Federalist]

Regulation without Representation.

It does not matter what or who you "vote" for, all that matters is compliance with whatever regulatory scheme is in place over you.

A regulatory scheme that was never debated, or signed into law, or subject to a representative review.

And yes, theye call it a "scheme".

If 60 senators agreed to the UNODC treaty, or one of its bastard cousins, then all US laws must be in compliance with whatever Yury and his buddies decree.

But have no fear comrade, you can always vote VERY hard and replace Yury.

Oh, wait...

no need for us to cry, but folks that yell out hippies watch too much tv or something, every hippie i know wants nothing to do with government. he might be confusing trust fund kids in school or confusing hipsters with hippies.

Pretty sure that even if you are a hippie, you are not a "big benevolent world government hippy." So I don't think he was talking about you. However, to be honest, I fail to see these "big benevolent world government hippies" on RPF's so maybe he really is lumping all hippies into one broad brush.

[Pericles]

Those bright blue helmets will make for easy targets.

I prefer to think of it as a marksmanship training aid, and my gun club needs some practice. Fortunately, ammunition availability has improved in the past year.

[dannno]

I think speciallyblend makes a good point that 'big benevolent world government hippies' tend to be more like hipsters and worship Universities and don't tend to be into outdoors and free from the system like your modern hippie or new ager.

[jkob]

use this to convince people to want to get the hell out of the UN
