More troubles in legalization landNow the HHS needs to get LEGAL advice from the Justice Department but they already sent their mandate to the DEA ????
Nothing like the cart before the horse and now we must look into the legality of our proposal ?
Wondering why the DEA hasn't provided ???
Cause the Americans can't tie their shoe laces and need Velcro !!!
Think they would have had their I doted and their T crossed before venturing down the rabbit hole
WHAT A MESS AND FOOLS BELIEVE IT IS COMING ? Yeah but what year ?
The new letter to Romney echoes many of that opinion’s arguments.
“The current placement of marijuana under schedule I prevents the U.S. from ensuring the substance’s availability for medical and scientific research as required by the Single Convention,” it says. “Reclassification under schedule III would, therefore, bring the U.S. closer to compliance with Treaty requirements.”
Meanwhile, HHS has reportedly requested a legal opinion on the implications of possible marijuana rescheduling from the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC), and some suspect it concerns the potential international treaty consequences. Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) has requested clarification on the request from HHS.
A Democratic congresswoman has separately implored DEA to “reject any argument” that rescheduling marijuana under federal law would constitute a violation of international treaty obligations. She also asked the agency to reveal a list of any “outside partners” it has met with to discuss the global implications of a potential cannabis reclassification.
The UN’s International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) did recently reiterate that it considers legalizing marijuana for non-medical or non-scientific purposes a violation of international treaties.
Here’s a full list of the groups that signed the recent letter to Romney, as well as a copy of the letter itself:
