"Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says that his government’s concern about possible United Nations (UN) penalties for legalizing marijuana in contravention of international treaties never materialized, disclosing that no officials have as much as discussed the issue with Canada since the reform was enacted in 2018.

The comments come as anti-marijuana U.S. lawmakers in Congress are pressuring the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to reject a cannabis rescheduling recommendation based on their argument that loosening restrictions would put the country at risk of UN sanctions.

Advocates have routinely pushed back on that position, in part by pointing out that Canada seemingly faced no repercussions from the international body since legalizing cannabis nationwide. Now Trudeau is confirming as much, though he conceded it was an initial concern for his government.

“The only downside we were extremely worried about was that it would place us in non-compliance with certain international treaties on drug control,” he told France.tv, according to a translation. “We thought they could punish Canada because we’re not aligned with the treaties. But nobody talked to us about this. They were interested and looking at what we were doing.”"

All the so called 'governments' are mere corporations and corporations cannot treaty only sovereign beings (don't start with that sovereign citizens bullshit) can treaty.

All use is medical use - Dennis Peron. - Pass this post around. End the War -

There are NO Addicts. There are only people in pain.

Drugs fill receptors.
Pain empties receptors. PTSD empties receptors.
Filling empty receptors makes you feel good.
Empty receptors create a desire for drugs.
Drugs can not create a desire for drugs.

Stop making criminals out of people in pain.


Recreational users are just people in undiagnosed pain. The receptors they fill are pain receptors. Reducing pain is the recreation.

I thought the us signed that treaty in good faith not at threat of punishment. I guess not?

...so that's why these dicks wont reschedule...what treaty?
Edit:cool! Im breaking UN treaties!
Why not. It's all the rage with the CCP too. The UN is a true joke. On the eve of Russia's stint as the Chair of the UN Security Council, Russia bombed a children's hospital. Meanwhile the IPCC claims ownership of climate science, for no reason given. Can you even own a scientific discipline? Like, how is that possible? The only way it's possible is if you're an organ of a quasi-world govt that's never been elected, is answerable to absolutely no one, blows in whichever direction the big funding is coming from and thinks they run shit.

Ain’t no one sanctioning the USA … far too big an economy.
Didn’t the UN change their stance on cannabis a couple of years back anyway?
