My personal opinion, I'm against legalizing pot for recreational use. However, I support individual states making such laws via elections. If my state held such an election, I'd vote against legalizing for recreational use. If the law passed, majority of voters ruled and I'd live with a law I didn't agree with. Doesn't mean I'd go out and start using pot for recreational use. However, I am against the United Nations trying to dictate laws of USA or individual states.
I wonder how many politically liberal & conservative people agree on this topic? I'm politically conservative, though registered as Independent. I'm against the UN on this. Though I'm against legalizing pot for recreational use, I support individual states making their own laws on the subject.
Right of center libertarian here, and definitely fiscally conservative. I am for ending the federal ban on cannabis, as I think it is not the government's place to tell us what we can put in our bodies. If the states want to enforce their own laws then fine, but it would be stupid for any state to do so given the potential revenue and jobs it could create in setting up dispensaries, and of course let's not forget re-starting the industrial hemp industry. And given the issues we have with alcohol which is LEGAL, and does much more harm to the mind and body than cannabis, and the growing epidemic of abuse of highly toxic substances like heroin, legal prescription opiates, and meth, it really is silly to continue to outlaw cannabis. Would legalization stop use of other harder and more drugs? No, not entirely. However; it may cut it down if there is the option to use the safer substance.
Just like our second invasion of Iraq, our war on ISIS, several others where we've told the UN we're going to do as we please.
It does violate international treaties that we have pushed and signed. However, I see the treaty as useless as not every UN member signed it, and it was mainly the United States that pushed the damned thing to begin with.

Therefore it is only right that the US push or lead the way to end prohibition, no?

I wish we would, but federal prohibition isn't over yet
