The UN is pissed because their compatriots in South America are losing valuable business.
This on the heels of a study released showing that pot smokers brains shrink with more usage. Between that and tv we will have the stupidest population on the planet.
Interesting, is it not, that Obama’s fave drug may provide the U.S. citizenship with the needed impetus to tell the U.N. to shove it up their uneducated socialist collective septic Obamaholes.
Too bad for the UN.
LOL. I wonder if the Libs are going to knee-jerk demand that the US adhere to international law and UN treaties on this issue.
U.S. to U.N.
Don’t bogart that joint my friend
pass it over to me
Of course the UN opposes anything good for the USA
The USA is poised to become the world’s leading producer/exporter of hemp products, cannabis and cannabis concentrates. Hemp is a very high value agricultural product and can easily become one of the top 10 industries in the world. One hardy easy-to-grow plant can be sold as food, fiber, fuel, oil, medicine and smokes.
It would be a revolution for America’s struggling rural communities.
What a buzz kill, man.
Wow, looks like the prohibitionist busy-bodies have a new ally.
Shows the shamelessness of the authoritarian mind..
So what did the UN do to Holland or Portugal? Meh.
More UN third world moralization. We are to be treated as babies.
Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961 was a US idea and included US "persuasion". Essentially we forced just about everyone to sign up.
That treaty codified the worldwide prohibition on Cannabis and was duly ratified by the US Senate.
It would take a vote of 2/3 of the Senate to overturn what is now the Law of the Land...which SUPERSEDES the US Constitution.
States sell non approved FDA drugs hacks get votes what could go wrong what next medical meth?.
The slope has been greased.
There is no enumerated power transferred to the US government by the States that give them the authority to control domestic marijuana. That authority lies with the States, and the US government cannot appropriate that authority from them by signing a treaty with foreign governments.
