United Nations Moves to Impose International Treaties On States Legalizing Marijuana

The United Nations has declared Colorado and Washington in violation of international treaties following ballot initiatives that have legalized the recreational use of marijuana.

The President of the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB), Raymond Yans, has voiced “grave concern about the outcome of recent referenda in the United States of America that would allow the non-medical use of cannabis by adults in the states of Colorado and Washington, and in some cities in the states of Michigan and Vermont,” according to an INCB press release. The INCB is a quasi-judicial “control organ” for the implementation of the United Nations drug conventions.

Mr. Yans said the referenda in Colorado and Washington state “are in violation of the international drug control treaties, and pose a great threat to public health and the well-being of society far beyond those states.” Yans cited the standard nanny-state reasons for dictating what consenting adult Americans put in their bodies, including mental disorders, and cited the welfare of children as a primary concern of the internationalist organization.

“Legalization of cannabis within these states would send wrong and confusing signals to youth and society in general, giving the false impression that drug abuse might be considered normal and even, most disturbingly, safe. Such a development could result in the expansion of drug abuse, especially among young people, and we must remember that all young people have a right to be protected from drug abuse and drug dependency,” the globalist bureaucrat said.

Yans called for the U.S. federal government to “resolve the contradiction between the federal and state levels in the implementation of that country’s obligations under the drug control conventions” and demanded it “take the necessary measures to ensure full compliance with the international drug control treaties within the entire territory of the United States, in order to protect the health and well-being of its citizens.”

In other words, the United Nations insists the federal government perpetuate the destructive and expensive War on Drugs that has fostered a massive prison-industrial complex and ruined countless lives over the last few decades.

It won't be long until we start hearing how states that allow their citizens to own guns are in violation of international treaties. Welcome to the New World Order where our federal government is commanded by unelected globalist bureaucrats to squash states rights.

Law Enforcement Leaders Ask Department of Justice to Respect State Marijuana Laws

Group Cites Public Safety Concerns Created by Illegal Marketplace

Teleconference With Colorado and Washington Law Enforcers at 12:00 PM ET

WASHINGTON, DC – This morning a former narcotics cop delivered a letter signed by 73 current and former police officers, judges, prosecutors and federal agents to Attorney General Eric Holder urging him not to interfere with the wishes of the voters of Colorado and Washington State to legalize and regulate marijuana.

"We seem to be at a turning point in how our society deals with marijuana," said Neill Franklin, executive director of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, the group that authored the letter. "The war on marijuana has funded the expansion of drug cartels, it has destroyed community-police relations and it has fostered teenage use by creating an unregulated market where anyone has easy access. Prohibition has failed. Pretty much everyone knows it, especially those of us who dedicated our lives to enforcing it. The election results show that the people are ready to try something different. The opportunity clearly exists for President Obama and Attorney General Holder to do the right thing and respect the will of the voters."


LEAP

Some of the people who have been on the front lines of the drug war seem to have a different perspective than the globalists at the International Narcotics Control Board. Anyone care to venture a guess who's side Obama and Holder will be on? I'm going to guess they aren't going to be on the side of the voters.

 

The problem with any international treaty that is based on a false premise is that's it's based on a false premise. The "war on drugs" has done more to endanger our children and our society than the drugs themselves.

Prohibition does not work. We learned that a long time ago. The only people who benefit from the war on drugs are the drug cartels and the banks that launder the estimated 500 billion dollars a year generated from global drug trade. The globalists aren't worried about the health and well-being of our citizens they are worried about the loss of profits they would suffer if the "war on drugs" were ended.

They do a good job of feigning compassion for others but in the end their international treaties are meant to further erode our national sovereignty and put an end to our constitutional republic. They want our guns now and they're trying to get them through an international treaty. Will our leaders sign it? Obama will sign it, enthusiastically.

 

I have to wonder what drugs some of you are on. Forgetful pills I would imagine. For what other reason could you not remember the history of the 1st time we tried prohibition and what a huge failure it was and what the cost to society was with gang violence from booze traffickers.

Prohibition doesn't work. Al Capone loved prohibition. It made him rich and powerful.

The drug cartels love prohibition. It makes them rich and powerful.

The government loves prohibition it gives them another excuse to waste tax money and trample our rights.

And most of you love prohibition not because it makes you rich and powerful but because you just want to control what other people do and it makes you feel like you are better than someone else. Evidently you'd rather keep drugs in the hands of school children and gang violence on our streets than admit a proven fact.

Prohibition doesn't work.

I always thought conservatives were smart enough to look at a problem and weigh the costs vs the benefits and come to intelligent conclusions. Apparently I've given conservatives way too much credit. Next time you read about a Mexican drug cartel murdering a bunch of people give yourself a big ole pat on the back because if it weren't for your continued support of a failed drug policy the violence associated with prohibition would have never reached the level it has. You should be proud of your part in keeping the violence going.


Some people just never learn. :tonofbricks:

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]The desire to enter the inner ring is closely related to the desire to maintain a New World Order. There is always an institutional claimant to New World Order status. It is always structured in terms of a series of concentric rings. These rings are always vertical.
