MSimon won't like this. While I don't like the laws in question, the UN telling us how to run our own house also rubs me the wrong way.

A United Nations-based drug agency urged the United States government on Tuesday to challenge the legalization of marijuana for recreational use in Colorado and Washington, saying the state laws violate international drug treaties.

In that case I would have to wonder how they assume the netherlands and spain fit into that.
I think someone from the US pulled some levers with the UN to get that statement. I have seen the same thing happening in Europe on certain occasions. Particularly the socialists here are known for calling in "international help" whenever they fear their position threatened.

Actually I do like it. It alienates the left from the UN and gets the right to reflexively support an issue I am passionate about.

It also makes the left and right allies when it comes to American Liberty. A point I have been making here for a few days. States Rights.

In any case The UN doesn't understand the US. We are 50 STATES protected by the Federal Government from outside interference.

And what can the Federales do? Deputize local police forces in the War On Drugs? Well that would bring a few things into the open wouldn't it? We owe the people of Colorado and Washington a huge debt of gratitude. Perhaps America is not lost after all.
