Which do you support; States rights, or the supremacy of the federal government and the United Nations.
VIENNA—The head of the U.N. drug watchdog agency is urging U.S. federal officials to challenge ballot measures in Colorado and Washington that decriminalized possession of small amounts of marijuana for adults 21 and over. Raymond Yans says the approvals send "a wrong message to the rest of the nation and it sends a wrong message abroad."

Interesting question for some of the fake conservatives we have on this site. How are you defining "real" conservative? What does the US Constitition assert about state laws versus federal? I'd also like some of the "marijuana was only banned in the US because of racist fearmongering" types to explain why this is in issue of concern to other countries. The demand so many have here for a black and white 2-dimensional world is mind-boggling. |

Sorry, I misread that.
I thought it said "supremicy of the fed OVER the UN." As in, fuck the UN. |

This is what happens when you allow the state to assume the roll of protecting you from yourself.
Progressivism, gotta love it. How about "Individual RIGHTS"? |

I don't think this is a Conservative versus liberal thing so much as a Libertarian versus Authoritarian thing. Many of the "Consevatives" on this board are simply authoritarians or a different stripe. |

Here's the real message we need to send abroad:
FUCK YOU. Mind your own business you busybody FUCKS. |

I don't do any pot. Smoked, ingested, Injected, nothing. I have no need to change that. I will stick to my hypocritical and occasional booze and caffeine. The only thing that interests me about the matter is the billions spent on fighting the so-called war on drugs and man's freedom to do what he wants so long as he causes no harm to others. Guess that makes me some kind of hippy. Aimless ooh look. A red-colored ironic name. |

Sounds like someone in the UN is worried about their kickbacks from illegal drug operations.

The constitution doesn't give the fed the power to regulate marijuana. They only get there via the ICC using some pretty tortured arguments, so it's an open issue as to whether the supremacy clause applies like in cases of currency, international relations etc. I'm very interested in how this fight turns out. I predict the fed will ignore these laws and pot farms like they have in the case of medical marijuana. At least until they're confident they have a court that will see things their way by upholding unlimited power of the fed to regulate any commerce. |

The fact that the USSC is the means we have isn't worth much, considering the (il)logic they use to justify their personal vision for society. |

In fact, they stepped up raids on dispensaries since Obama took office. |

... The constitution doesn't give the fed the power to regulate marijuana. They only get there via the ICC using some pretty tortured arguments, so it's an open issue as to whether the supremacy clause applies like in cases of currency, international relations etc. The supremacy clause is pretty damn clear: This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding. It is also pretty clear as to how to resolve issues where some factions claim another clause was misused The judicial Power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. ...The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority...

It is an interesting comment from this representative of the UN.
One assumes since the USA is a major representative and funding source for the INCB, that the US Federal government is wholeheartedly behind this statement. Historically the US has used this agency to legitimise and internationalise traditional US federal policy. I guess a good way to try and enforce US Federal policy regarding drugs, on the 'rouge' states with the US. But avoiding a direct attack on the states authority, by the Federal government. Have some one else come out against it. Then people will say fuck the UN, not Fuck the Federal Government. Simple misdirection Simple Task, Ask the UN council to make a statement that the US government comes up with. Then the US announces that to be a good UN partner it should comply with the UN proposal. TADA, you comply with your own request. |
