Will President Barack Obama allow United Nations “peacekeeping” troops to kill Americans who are growing marijuana in violation of the United Nations INCB treaty?
Isn’t it time to end “one world government” so that we can MAKE MARIJUANA LEGAL?
Isn’t it time to end all of these Treaties that the United States has signed onto so we can get back in control of our own country?
TAKE AMERICA BACK!
MAKE MARIJUANA LEGAL!
DON’T WAIT FOR UN TROOPS
TO COME GUNNING DOWN
MARIJUANA GROWERS IN THE U.S.A. ! ! !

INCB TREATY
In discharging its mandate under the
international drug control treaties, the
Board maintains an ongoing dialogue
with Governments through various means,
such as regular consultations and country
missions.
That dialogue has been instrumental
to the Board’s efforts to assist Governments
in complying with the provisions of the treaties.
The Convention Evaluation Section of the
INCB Secretariat assists the Board in these task.
In addition, the Section
publishes the quarterly Newsletter of INCB.
Over the years, the Board has invoked article 14
of the 1961 Convention and/or
article 19 of the 1971 Convention
with respect to a limited number of States.
The Board’s objective has been to encourage
compliance with those Conventions
when other means have failed.
In 2000, the Board invoked
article 14 of the 1961 Convention
as amended by the 1972 Protocol
with respect to Afghanistan,
in view of the widespread illicit cultivation
of opium poppy in that country.
Afghanistan is currently the only State
for which action is being taken pursuant to
article 14 of the 1961 Convention
as amended by the 1972 Protocol.
Article 14 of the 1961 Convention
(and that Convention as amended by
the 1972 Protocol) and article 19 of the
1971 Convention set out measures
that the Board may take to ensure
the execution of the provisions
of those Conventions.
Such measures, which consist
of increasingly severe steps,
are taken into consideration
when the Board has reason to believe
that the aims of the Conventions
are being seriously endangered
by the failure of a State to carry
out their provisions.
The States
concerned are not named until
the Board decides to bring the situation
to the attention of the parties,
the Economic and Social Council and the
Commission on Narcotic Drugs
(as in the case of Afghanistan).
Apart from Afghanistan, the States
concerned have taken sufficient
remedial measures so that the Board
was able to terminate action taken
under those articles vis-à-vis those States.
The 1961 Convention establishes
strict controls on the cultivation
of opium poppy, coca bush
cannabis plant
and their products,
which, in the Convention,
are described as “narcotic drugs”
(although cocaine is a stimulant drug
rather than one that induces sleep).
Control is exercised over 119 narcotic drugs,
mainly natural products,
such as opium and its derivatives,
morphine, codeine and heroin,
but also synthetic drugs,
such as methadone and pethidine,
as well as
cannabis
and coca leaf.
The system of estimates covers all States,
regardless of
whether or not
they are parties
to the 1961 Convention.
