- coldtea 13y agoAren't they also obligated by tons of treaties not to spy on UN countries?
- icebraining 13y agoNo, the INCB claims they are obligated to keep cannabis illegal, but they're not necessarily competent to decide on that issue. In particular, according to the 1988 Convention, the parties are only required to do so "in conformity with the fundamental provisions of their respective domestic legislative systems", which it might be argued a federal prohibition isn't.
