UN releases statement on recent Marijuana legislature

Colorado and Washington have recently passed legislation legalizing the use of limited amounts of marijuana for those over 21 years of age. Raymond Yans, President of the United Nation’s International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) voiced “grave concern about the outcome of recent referenda in the United States of America that would allow the non-medical use of cannabis by adults in the states of Colorado and Washington,” according to the United Nations Information Service. Yans said that “these developments are in violation of the international drug control treaties, and pose a great threat to public health and the well-being of society far beyond those states.”
