Salutations,
Governements are made of
politicians who's legal power is actually some mix of legacies
rooted between 2 socio-toxic wars, more exactly in the League of Nations (1925-Feb-19) Geneva Opium Convention where
BOTH "Indian Hemp"
AND "Cannabis sativa L." are specifically targetted.
Apparently, at the time USA didn't sign it because of
internal isolationist tensions; consequently most of the active support got delayed until a
1946 (December 11) amendment at Lake Success (NY/USA):
Never heard of 1946 as of a corner stone?? Me neither...
Nonetheless, the prospect of USA's democratic sovereignty being subjected to an international non-elected body (taking over its authority) sure sounds like some fair explanation as to its actual/noticeable absence from such historical document:
Well, other important dates were 1931 and 1936 as i recall, not to mention the famous Harry J. Anslinger (1892–1975) becoming commissioner at the "U.S. Bureau of Narcotics" in 1930...
Anyway, failure of USA to support an international cannabis ban in the Commonwealth countries was nothing close to an opposition against that: just an expression of
american priorities, which is also why the matter did return on top of the politicians international to-do list: In The Name Of Children...
In today's "Légaleezation" context one main reason behind insisting over the
3 conventions (and Nixon...) as the origin of prohibition simply boils down to a
convenient abstraction for our common enemy, supposed to erase its true less-than-noble origins and that's going back to the Victorian age instead of mankind's 1st steps on the moon.
Same cheat about recently increased attacks agains electronic cigarettes which people depend on for a healthwise alternative to chronic self-poisoning by combustion, this time from behind closed doors during the
FCTC/
COP6 UN/WHO event held in Moscow/Russia on October 2014, quite obviously to ensure zero journalists/observers are ever admitted:
Report of the sixth session of the Conference of the Parties to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control
And no, none of "us" had an official invitation neither. Yet it's extra-sovereign operations as these which still allow bigot prohibitionists to organize, even anonymously, similar to a religious sect...
One brick after the next nearly insurmountable walls have raised since the mid 1800s, as in a labyrinth populated by ghosts although all it takes is a politician to cut their ombilical cords, which in essence is to remove cannabis from "the schedule" - while at most this should be a matter of
Public Health and never one of para-military "law-enforcement" warriors!
But lets admire the
THC/
CBD paradox in the meantime... Mid-December 2017 a joint UN/WHO declaration was issued which felt as if maybe CBD cannabis might sell at my local grocery store plus a few other business places for Christmass, including smoker substitutes (as CBD e-Cigs), and/or certified CBD health/drugstore products, etc. Yet this many years later we continue to tolerate obvious non-sensical/political delaying, with "novel" (frankenstein) concepts ready for CBD supplements & edibles.
Briefly put, fuck "science" and what it's good for! ... In addition keep in mind many UN member countries continue to promote the death penalty for "drug offenses", leading to barbaric stratagems as when Chineese elites favourable to Meng Wanzhou/Huawei instrumentalized "the law" by finally killing at least 5 persons (Fan Wei, Lu Hanchang, Robert Schellenberg, Ye Jianhui, Xu Weihong) in a continuous attempt to shame/intimidate Justin Trudeau (and his sense of constitutional boundaries...) over dope on the public scene, with political hostages Kovrig and Spavor as convenient decoys. Etc., etc.
In other words sooner or later "the cord" must be cut to stop a most unfair game where OUR troups prove being handicaped by internal divisions even over the basics. Happy "4-20"!
Good day, have fun!!
