So it is your "opinion" that the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration,  RAND Corporations  Drug Policy Research Center,  the World Health Organization, the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society, Canadian Medical Association, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, School of Medicine, The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA., Et AL surrounding my sources are all unaccredited?

But a blog IS?!  Do you even understand the meaning of the term accredited? Apparently not!

STILL waiting for your answer to this. . .

MEXICO CITY, Mexico — The United Nations' drug law enforcement body has reprimanded Latin American countries that have decriminalized narcotic use, delivering a blow to the growing movement looking for a change in drug policy in the region.

The U.N. body says it is particularly concerned by a 2009 law in Mexico thatdecriminalizes possession of small amounts of cannabis, cocaine, heroin and other drugs.

"This legal act may give the wrong signal," says a report released Wednesday by the International Narcotics Control Board, an independent body that monitors the implementation of U.N. drug control conventions.

The board said it wanted to remind the Mexican government that U.N. conventions require that the possession, purchase or cultivation of narcotic drugs be classified as a criminal offense.

The report also attacks the Argentine Supreme Court for a ruling last year that it is unconstitutional to punish the personal use of cannabis.

PRESS CONFERENCE ON FINDINGS OF INTERNATIONAL NARCOTICS CONTROL BOARD 2009 REPORT




The International Narcotics Control Board was concerned that the "creeping normalization" of so-called medicinal marijuana might spur addictive or hard-core use of the drug, a Board member said today while presenting its annual report at a Headquarters press conference.



Melvin Levitsky said that, under the international treaties that had established the Board, Governments had a right to legitimize medical marijuana and have it prescribed by doctors, but the drug should be used only for scientific and medicinal purposes.  In some cases, however, it had been designated as a medicine "by referendum", without scientific basis, he said, adding that most people agreed on the dangers of smoking drugs, which was the main method of administering marijuana.



If Governments were scientifically to isolate marijuana's curative properties, the Board would encourage its use, he said in response to questions.  However, it disapproved of the "slipshod" way in which that had been done with a substance that was smoked, and which was 10 times as strong as the "pot" of the 1960s and 1970s.  For a long time, there had been no instances of people going into emergency rooms for being "strung out" on marijuana, but today the largest number of emergency room visits involved abuse of marijuana, he pointed out.



The Board was concerned about the proliferation of what was considered to be a dangerous drug and labelled as such by every country that had signed the international drug control treaties, he said.  The treaties stipulated that, if a country chose to use a scientific basis to designate marijuana as a useful medicine, it must establish an agency to regulate and control it.  That had not been done anywhere, so there was a "creeping labelling of what is considered a dangerous drug, as medicine", he said.

On March 27, 2006, Raich submitted an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit seeking declaratory and injunctive relief based on the alleged unconstitutionality of the CSA, July 2010 4

and a declaration that medical necessity precludes enforcement of the CSA against her. The court heard this matter on remand following the Supreme Court's decision in Gonzales v. Raich, 545 U.S. 1 (2005). On March 14, 2007, the Ninth Circuit ruled that a terminally ill woman (Angel Raich) using marijuana was not immune to federal prosecution because of her condition. This decision reaffirms that medical marijuana users and their suppliers could be prosecuted for breaching federal drug laws even if the state they live in has made it legal to do so.4

In a show of international support for the U.S. Supreme Court's Raich decision, the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) issued a statement urging other countries to consider the real dangers of cannabis. ―...Cannabis is classified under international conventions as a drug with a number of personal and public health problems. It is not a ‗soft' drug as some people would have you believe. There is new evidence confirming well-known mental health problems, and some countries with a more liberal policy towards cannabis are reviewing their position. Countries need to take a strong stance towards cannabis abuse.‖5

Palehorse doesn't want you to know that Marijuana is a dangerous, addictive drug that poses significant health threats to users and Marijuana has no medical value that can't be met more effectively by legal drugs, also Palehorse the facts are out there that many Marijuana users are far more likely to use other drugs like cocaine and heroin than non-marijuana users and people like Palehorse plus  Drug legalizers use "medical marijuana" as red herring in effort to advocate broader legalization of drug use.

FACT:

    Once Willy has an opinion on something you'll play hell ever changing it!

more FACTS:

    He 'loves' to argue & will take an opposing stance to any subject "U" introduce; just for the purpose of
propagating  the conversation which allows him to continue to argue.

   This allows him to 'surf the internet' for opposing views which takes time -- which he has "PLENTY OF!"
Willy in a nut shell, Willy's a nut, nut'n "U" say will change his mind!
