If the U.S. Senate passes a treaty I don't think a president can constitutionally just decide to negate it. They probably can ignore it to a point, which is what is occurring in the U.S. on the marijuana question, giving states the choice of how to proceed on it. I saw yesterday that if Marco Rubio is elected he'll close down the legal marijuana business, oh joy.

I would hope that legalization would include home growing but I guess I don't trust TPB to allow such free enterprise.
back to brewing analaogy homebrewing became legal relatively recently but many steps put in place to prevent profit being made.
imho something as pure and natural as cannabis Will only degrade the more money power and politics get involved. the "grassroots" form of supply and distribution going now works just fine . we don't need Monsanto getting involved. I fear full legalize would just be a Trojan horse of sorts to take control of the entire industry.
(I have no proof they will but is a part of my concern)

USA "lifted restrictions " on homebrew ing I'm 1978....fairly recently.
again, I'm all for legalizing just see it as a "be careful what you wish for " or "too good to be true " sort of thing.
