U.S. states' pot legalization not in line with international law: U.N. agency - GoFuckYourself.com

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 last thing I give a fuck about is the UN telling me what I should/shouldn't do. Very bad precedent.

was thinking the same thing but it's only decriminalized there not "legal"

Although several drugs are illegal in North Korea, Cannabis is not one of them, also legal in Uruguay.

There is a long list of places were it has been decriminalized but subject to rules..
