UN Body Reaffirms That Marijuana Legalization Violates International Treaties, While Addressing Germany Cannabis Reform And U.S. Psychedelics Movement - Marijuana Moment
The United Nations’s (UN) drug control body is reiterating that it considers legalizing marijuana for non-medical or non-scientific purposes a violation of international treaties, though it also said it appreciates that Germany’s government scaled back its cannabis plan ahead of a recent vote. The g...
Somebody please correct me if I am wrong, but didn't the United States invade Iraq despite the objections of the UN Security Council? That happened, right? Without reprocutions?
If that's the case, I'm wondering who cares about the UN objecting to laws a country passes, within their own borders, that are not human rights violations. What are they going to do? Write a stern letter?
90This is definitely people trying to justify their existence rather than keeping up with the times.
51The UN is run by America but for other people not the Americans.
Same as extradition and breaking laws of another country even though it doesn't break any laws they are in.
Sure US have allowed countries to punish their citizens but only when that outcome is also in their interest.
The whole UN war on drugs thing started in America to solve an American problem.
21Same as extradition and breaking laws of another country even though it doesn’t break any laws they are in.
And yet the International Criminal Court is fine, right? Despite it only going after POC from ex-European colonies.
This whole idea that you can commit any crime you want: if it crosses borders, if it is a crime against humanity, if it occurred in a country that it happened in is a failed state and could never prosecute the person, or if it happened at sea doesn't work and never will work. Governments have a right to go after people outside their borders in specific situations and without that right the world is full of pirates, genocidal warlords, international cartels, Russian paid shills, etc.
Don't like it? Don't commit genocide and you are highly highly unlikely to have an issue.

International law isn't really a thing. The true limits to what a nationstate can do are established by military and economic interventions alone.

UN can't do shit about Israel's ethnic cleansing operation and it has the audacity to talk about something so irrelevant. Does the UN even do anything these days?
57They only said it violates treaties, not that they're doing anything about it.
5Does the UN even do anything
these daysat all?Fixed it for you.
4Dude you sound ignorant - UN is made up of it's member countries that discuss what should be in those treaties. It's not a person or a team of people just deciding randomly what the treaties should contain, and Germany has approved and signed on to the treaty.
And why the UN doesn't do shit, is because it's controlled by it's member countries, and certain countries has veto-power over Usn decision. And it's rather the world doesn't do shit, than the UN doesn't do shit.
That is basically it, and now learn to breath through your nose.

The UN should be looking out for people's safety instead of reaffirming bullshit. People will smoke, so they should have access to clean shit for regulated farmers and vendors.
41Nah. Waste that money on law enforcement, court cases, and prisons.
We've probably spent trillions of dollars losing the war on drugs as a species.

International law isn't natural law, with advances in knowledge it can and should change.
22In other words Germany has to leave the "Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs". Fine by me.
Btw. Canada and Uruguay are already in violation of the treaty. Nobody seems to care. 🤷
22I only use it for medical purposes so no violation. I only smoke to get high.
15Wait is the one time that the US is violating a UN treaty it helped craft that isn't resulting in some terrible outcome for others???
11The article said it was crafted in 1961. My parents weren't even alive at that time and they have six grandchildren.
Maybe it's time to move on considering the majority of people alive today weren't born yet.

Good thing there's a shit ton of money being passed around.
0% chance this gets in the way of profits.
6People are starving and the world has never been closer to World War 3 and they just can't stand the weed. Lol. What the fuck. I'm glad they lost the fight though, cat is out of the bag now and never going back in once all the old timers die off its over with.

Man you really need to get a fucking life.
10I am so much more functional when I'm smoking. Without my constant anxiety I become a completely different person, a person I really like.
I personally think you have no idea what you are talking about. I'm a stoner and you'd never even know I was high all the time.
