“The new Colorado and Washington legislation puts the states in clear breach of the general obligation of the 1961 UN drug convention requiring the criminalisation of non-medical supply and use. The US has historically been the biggest cheerleader for such prohibitions on the global stage. It will be interesting to see whether they tone down their ‘tough on drugs’ rhetoric now that they themselves are the first to do the previously unthinkable.  The hypocrisy of the US demanding that other nations carry on enforcing prohibition while they themselves are retreating from it, could be enough to encourage a range of countries to start agitating for reform.”
