Actually possession of weed is legal, coffeeshops are tolerated.

Allright. So what are those opportunities you couldn't find elsewhere?

Maybe because they live next to the Netherlands? I don't think any french, californians, etc.. would go there only for the beaches as they got very nice ones in their country.

Why are you saying that U.S is a prison? Because of the drug policy? Did you move because of that then?

Incorrect sir. Because of the 1961 UN Single Convention on Narcotic drugs no UN member is allowed to legalize any recreational drug.

Okay, I was half correct. And it 's the 1988 United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, that effectively bans legalizing possession.

No. The Single Convention, adopted in 1961, consolidated those treaties from 1931 and before and broadened their scope to include cannabis. The consolidation began in 1948 but was ratified in 1961. 170 countries are members. You could still go to Cambodia or North Korea though.

just to clear, no offense! :wink:

Cannabis became illegal with the "2nd international opium converence" 19th February 1925 which toke affect 2nd September 1928! With it cannbais became the status of being totally illegal, even just the possession! Before that date only opium and kokain were illegal as agreed in the "1st opium converence" in 1912 by the US, China, France, Great Britain, Netherlands, Persia, Portugal, Russia and Thailand. This agreement became world wide effective with the "treaty of Versailles" 28th June 1919! In 1961 the "treaty of Versailles" was replaced by the "single convention on narcotic drugs" by the UN! this treaty has been supplemented by the "convention on psychotropic substances" in 1988 with inculedes now LSD, ecstasy and so on.

We now have learned that we are all illegal and just tolerated... world wide, as North Korea and other non UN members have their own national laws against cannabis :shock:

Cali is no Prison!


I'm Californian, where we keep the worlds most robust violent inmate population!

Although cannabis is tolerated here, my sympathy goes out to people in places where you have to be careful when you smoke. CA is carefree when it comes to herbs...
