U.N. Report Calls Marijuana Legalization A “Grave Danger”
Only days after the Canadian government claimed that people growing medical marijuana pose a serious threat to public safety, the United Nations Narcotics Control Board has released their 2014 Annual Report condemning the legalization of the plant.
The head of the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB), the UN body for enforcing international drug treaties, calls the moves toward legalization “misguided initiatives,” and says the places that legalized marijuana are contravening UN drug treaties.
The U.N. report cites information from several states in the U.S. that have legalized marijuana totally. Including statistics that point to an increase in cannabis-related traffic accidents in Colorado, to prove their point that legalization is a bad and misguided idea.
The report calls on the U.S. federal government to “ensure that the treaties are fully implemented on the entry of its territory” (in essence asking for a federal crack down in states that have legalized)
The report also states:
“Drug traffickers will choose the path of least resistance, so, it is essential that global efforts to tackle the drug problem are unified.”
“INCB is concerned about some initiatives aimed at the legalization of the non-medical and non-scientific use of cannabis. Such initiatives, if pursued, would pose a grave danger to public health and well-being, the very things the states, in designing the conventions, intended to protect.”
“INCB looks forward to maintaining an ongoing dialogue with all countries, including those where such misguided initiatives are being pursued, with a view to ensuring the full implementation of the conventions and protecting public health.”
The report is also directed towards Uruguay. The first nation to fully legalize marijuana. President Jose Mujica has responded by stating:
“Well, we will be paying them just about as much attention as the great powers do when they make decisions regularly”
“We are going to win this one, by showing the road to reform”
I will say one thing in defence of this plant , i was in a car accident and hit my head little did i know that my brain swelled and the doctors put me on morphine which made me sick unable to eat and dizzy all the time , it was a nurse friend who told me about this plant and when i started smoking it i noticed right away my headaches were less i was able to eat and keep the food down , im still not back to 100% pre accident but im doing better then i was on their drugs .
It was once quoted: If the bill rights didn’t include the right to alter one’s own consciousness or heal your own body then it’s not worth the hemp it was written on.
How can anybody that is left wing and pro cannabis support these tyrants in the UN. I think the UN can go to hell and butt out of everybody’s business and let people worry about their own welfare for a change, they are bad management and this should make it clear how desperately they need to get fired.
The U.N. can piss off . I don’t get it how can any Canadian sit around and do nothing while we are being attacked from every direction the U.N., Harper, Big Corporations ,Kathleen Wynne the list goes on and on .What are Canadians waiting for?
Of course they think it is a grave danger… can’t have people growing their own untainted medicine, that would mess up the UN/ elite’s depopulation and control plans.
The UN would be well advised to enforce their poicues and agreements on human rights and education which Canada is not in compliance with for 40 years before taking initivies against proven medical benefits of a miracle plant. Further it seems they fear people having their perspective take a redress at the short comings of what began as a world platform (The UN) and has spiraled into agenda 21 a platform for Corporate take over of Sovereign Government.
