U.S. states' pot legalization not in line with international law: U.N. agency | Reuters

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.

Well said, I agree.

Yup

Any organization that puts Iran on the Economic and Social Council’s Commission on the Status of Women has no moral authority.

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.

Its not in line with international law. They are correct. Of course, the United States pushed for that treaty to be signed when it happened, I think it was 1977. I'll have to research it.

But again, who gives a flying ****?
