1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drug.
So declassify marijuana. It's neither a narcotic or a drug.
Cannabis is a drug, along side caffeine, nicotine, alcohol etc.
It's a relatively benign drug, but a drug nonetheless.

The UN has it and the others banned, and anyone in the UN is therefore supposed to be obligated to ave it banned too.
So because the UN says so..? Canada should disregard the choice of it's people on what they choose to smoke? And I don't think any UN officials have come out and called out Canada for their choice. I'm aware the International Narcotics Control Board expressed concern back in March about the path Canada was going but since this move they haven't made any threats or stated otherwise.
Russia makes a valid point we expect them to abide by human rights treaties

But they don't... and they continiously interfere with their neighbours ignoring treaties they've signed. And now they're whining about Canada following democratic processes because of what some law said 50 years ago. Makes sense huh?
