“The International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) says it is concerned by the approval by Uruguayan MPs of a bill which would legalise marijuana. The INCB says the law would ‘be in complete contravention to the provisions of the international drug treaties to which Uruguay is party’. The INCB is an independent body of experts established by the United Nations to monitor countries’ compliance with international drug treaties. It says that, if adopted, it ‘might have serious consequences for the health and welfare of the population and for the prevention of cannabis abuse among the youth’.”
