VIENNA, Austria Dont let marijuana become legal in Colorado and Washington, the head of the U.N. drug watchdog agency is urging U.S. federal officials.
Raymond Yans wants the federal government to challenge ballot measures in Colorado and Washington that decriminalized possession of small amounts of marijuana for adults 21 and over.

Hookay.. let me make this perfectly clear for the U.N. and anyone in D.C.
This was a legal, free and fair election. Democracy in action. If you fucking think you are going to come here and reverse what a majority of the people voted for you got another thing coming. Any attempt to reverse this legal and fair election will have to be judged as ANTI-DEMOCRACY. If you are anti-Democracy then you have no business in a position of leadership. So Raymond Yans, take your personal preferences and shove them right up your ass. WE WON. GET THE FUCK OVER IT and GET YOUR FASCIST SHIT THE FUCK OUT OF MY DEMOCRACY.

(224 posts)Because that's the fucking message Colorado sent. It said "the bodies and violence and cost are not fucking worth it".
Now leave us the fuck alone.

(3,491 posts)to do with the UN suggesting this? We all know that the Feds were involved in States rights, re: pot over the last 4 years. Did the Obama Administration use this route to sort of stay out of the fray?

Ha, one thing the repcons don't take kindly to is the UN telling the US what to do.
You just don't dictate to the American government to undo what has been Democratically decided
by the American voter.
Hmmm....Raymond Yans almost sounds as if he has a vested interest in the Marijuana Prohibition
ending in other states (which it will). Wonder what that might be.
