...and we are supposed to give 2 sh!+$ why? The will of the people expressed through their legislatures and constitutional amendments reigns supreme in this land, not what some pointy headed UN operative thinks.

While I do not agree with legalizing drugs for the same reasons as I have given in all the threads before, I think this is in response to complaints from Mexico and other south of the border countries, who are worried about it eating into their profits.

Maybe we should ask the U.N. why they think U.N. treaties override U.S.Law, who told them that?

Very well could be, didn't hear the U.N. complaining when U.S. banks were caught laundering drug money.

I wish we would kick the UN out of the US, and sever all ties to it. It is the most impotent and grossly mismanaged organization that I'm aware of. We need to tell the UN to pound sand, and get the hell out of our country

Legalizing weed and ending production of Twinkies in the same week seems a little counterproductive.
