United Nations International Drug Control Program
Agenda: Legalisation of Marijuana
The legalization of the drug has been quite a sensitive topic over years and has been prone to various protests and rallies by people.
However, possession of the drug in small quantities has been decriminalized in many countries and sub-national entities in several parts of the world. Furthermore, possession is legal or effectively legal in the Netherlands, Uruguay, The US states of Colorado (Colorado Amendment 64), Oregon(Oregon Ballot Measure 91 (2014)), Alaska and Washington (Washington Initiative 502) as the federal government has indicated that it will not attempt to block enactment of legalization in those states. The use of the drug has been grated for medical purposes only in some countries. The basic discussion of the committee is to sought out opinions of countries in response to whether it should be legalized or not.
