We can only hope and pray, that this will go infront of the board, and that many of them will take into consideration on how much money they could save by not fighting against it, and how much money that they could make buy taxing, and regulating it.

WHAT?????
Is cannabis illegal???
WOW never noticed it....
Guess me and all my buddies will have to quit then!!!
LOL
Seriously now, these laws are IGNORED by so many people it is hard to take them seriously. Till the government figures out that it does not matter what they do, that otherwise law abiding people like me continue to ignore them, things will not change. Sad really to get votes on lies, fear, and peoples lives.
Just remember it is for your protection!!!

Nah the fire is just getting warmed up.
With the global economy in a bind, they're taking a 2nd look at how they piss away money. It'll be decriminalized, but not "legal" for us to grow like veggies and fruits.

i think the odds are pretty bad for legalization to happen!
i mean the netherlands are somekind recriminalizing it again, the swiss
people voted against legalization, in australia you cant even see
any sites realted to it, in some asian countrys you get executed, the
most european countrys dont allow cannabis for medical reasons, in the US
and Canada even the licensed growers get injailed!
but who knows ... i kinda think obama is gonna do some whole new stuff!

Problem is most Americans distrust anything that comes from the UN so I think it's a non starter. If it came from the AMA in combination with the DEA and Obama administration as a safer way to deal with the overall problem, the biggest of which is the smuggling that strengthens organized crime, it would be taken more seriously. As of right now it seems like the best weapon regarding MJ in the war on drugs is to "legalize" it. They didn't like bootleggers in prohibition but they disappeared when it became legal and regulated.

I'm gonna hope & pray that the UN takes this seriously when it's presented to them... while they might not legalize it in the states, the pressure from the UN & the international community (IF it's legalized) might do quite alot... then again, US politicians have quite a track record of not giving a shit what the UN says (not to mention their own citizens!!)... speaking personally, I'm gonna keep on keeping on, no matter what 'they' do... FUCK THE POLICE!
This is huge!! If the UN was to change their stance, then it would open up the opportunity for other Countries to consider legalization...as it is now, UN Members cannot legalize without the threat of sanctions-- That is the whole reason so many Decriminalize, but not Legalize...they can't take it out of the Law, but they can decide how loosely they will enforce--

jup and thats the reason why the netherlands never legalized completly!
But the law wasnt enforced anymore and so people started to grow
like mad and flooded the european market so the UN told them to be more
strict!

The US owns the UN,and is also its' greatest debtor-the US hasn't paid millions and millions in UN dues,it takes it so seriously.
Europe won't unilaterally decrim marijuana,simpy because hashish is made from it. (You notice that hash isn't mentioned,yet.)
Don't get your hopes up,but if Obama does something about the WOD,you might see some action,here overseas. For now,I'm not holding my breath.
