UN Commission on Narcotics and Drugs Punk Out On The Cannabis Vote

By Cannabis Across Borders

On Monday March 18^th, 2019 in Vienna Austria, the United Nations Commission on Narcotics and Drugs decided to kick the can down the road by agreeing not to vote on recommendations by the World Health Organization to decriminalize medical use, possession, and manufacturing of products made from the Cannabis plant.

The vote was rescheduled with the support of the delegates led by the United States, Singapore, Russia. The official reason is that the International Narcotics Control Board needs more time to figure things out. With strong objections by delegates from Uruguay, Canada, Mexico, Israel and, other nations in support of the change, the actual reasons are the interest groups like big pharma and, for profit jails  who want to continue status quo, have excessive influence on the process.

While youth and law enforcement officials are being injured and killed on Fentanyl worldwide, this and other opioids are freely accepted at ports of entry. The same excuses of youth exposure and a threat to society brought by the opposition, seem overwhelmingly contrary to the evidence provided by medical professionals on the benefits of Cannabis. Now that the vote has been delayed AGAIN, the time is now to get the delegates to amend the documentation to include a 70 gram personal use exemption at ports of entry for member nations who’s citizens use Marijuana as their medicine.

Stop the delay at the FDA!

As for recreational use in member nations, cannabis products should be available at duty free retail shops at ports of entry. In the INCB documentation they talk about how US States like Colorado, Alaska, Michigan and others are poorly regulating Cannabis use and sales. This despite the fact that states like Michigan made millions from Cannabis business transactions.  There was no respect given to member states like Uruguay who went recreational like Canada. Delegates from China, United States, Russia and Singapore who are clinging to the Harry Anslinger theology of reefer madness shut down the entire process with procedural rules to extend the voting for an additional 3 months. This is the second and third time that this group has done this at this conference.  

@CND_tweets unanimously adopts procedural decision to postpone the consideration of @WHO cannabis-related recommendations, to provide MS with more time to consider the recommendations @UNODC @UN_Vienna #CND2019 #CND62 pic.twitter.com/22HKADFQub

The INCB can run but they cannot hide from the inevitable truth. The WHO has said they were sorry and, we want to make up to the mis-information that was previously reported about Cannabis related products. Border security means allowing medical patients who use Cannabis all rights and privileges as a human right of declaration of medicine at ports of entry.   Duty taxes if any should not excessive to a point of harming low to moderate income individuals. Citizens in member nations must allow foreign nationals legal redress in their respective courts of law and promote commerce and trade with cannabis imported and exported between member nations.

Citizens Want Cannabis in America

Therefore, citizens in member nations must elect and employ elected officials who have their best interests at heart. Especially in nations like Canada, Uruguay, Mexico, and others in the world that want to finally put and end to this international war on the cannabis plant. Because by the next conference in Vienna at #CND2020 and #CND63, a vote must be taken in the affirmative to atone for the lies and fake news being spread about Cannabis.

Urgent Message for International and Domestic Medical Marijuana Patients at Ports of Entry

By Cannabis Across Borders


It is the position of the United States of America to oppose the recommendation of the World Health Organization regarding the re-scheduling of Cannabis products at the United Nations before the Commission of Narcotics and Drugs on Monday March 18th, 2019 in Vienna Austria.  This is contrary to the popular vote of American Citizens in 30 states and, the passage of the Farm Act law by congress in 2018. 

Border Security means protecting patients at ports of entry...

Your voice is needed to tell your representative at the United Nations about how you feel that the United States of America should vote YES on all recommendations by the World Health Organization to reschedule Cannabis including plants and extracts.  This vote will direct the legislators in Washington DC to remove Cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act by making House Resolution 420 the law.

The Official Position of the United States of America regarding Cannabis 

At this time, it is uncertain whether the above notification from WHO of recommendations for proposed scheduling action on cannabis and cannabis related substances will be acted upon by 62nd session of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs (from 14 to 22 March 2019). The Bureau of the 62nd Commission is currently considering whether to postpone voting on the cannabis-related recommendations until the reconvened meeting in December, or the 63rd session of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs, March 2020. If voting is deferred to a later date the comment period will be reopened.

Although WHO has made specific scheduling recommendations for each of the drug substances, the CND is not obliged to follow the WHO recommendations. Options available to the CND for substances considered for control under the 1971 Psychotropic Convention include the following: (1) Accept the WHO recommendations; (2) accept the recommendations to control but control the drug substance in a schedule other than that recommended; or (3) reject the recommendations entirely.

Cannabis, also known as marijuana, is a plant known by biological names Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica. It is a complex plant containing multiple cannabinoids and other compounds, including the psychoactive substance THC and other structurally similar compounds. Cannabinoids are defined as having activity at cannabinoid 1 and 2 (CB1 and CB2, respectively) receptors. Agonists of CB1 receptors are widely abused and are known to modulate motor coordination, memory processing, pain, and inflammation, and have anxiolytic effects. Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug in the United States.

The principal cannabinoids in the cannabis plant include THC, CBD, and cannabinol. These substances are controlled in Schedule I under the CSA. The synthetically derived single pure stereoisomer, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (also known as dronabinol) is the active ingredient in two approved drug products in the United States, MARINOL (dronabinol) capsules, also available as a generic, and SYNDROS (dronabinol) oral solution. MARINOL is controlled in Schedule III, while SYNDROS is controlled in Schedule II under the CSA. Both MARINOL and SYNDROS are approved to treat anorexia associated with weight loss in patients with AIDS, and nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conventional treatment.

CBD is another cannabinoid constituent of the cannabis plant. In the United States, one CBD-containing product, Epidiolex oral solution, has received marketing approval by the FDA for the treatment of seizures associated with two rare and severe forms of epilepsy, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome, in patients 2 years of age and older. On September 28, 2018, the Drug Enforcement Administration placed FDA-approved product Epidiolex to be marketed into Schedule V of the CSA. Currently, CBD that is not contained in an FDA-approved product with less than 0.1 percent THC is controlled as a Schedule I substance under the CSA. CBD is not specifically listed in the schedules of the 1961, 1971, or 1988 International Drug Control conventions.

FDA, on behalf of the Secretary of HHS, invites interested persons to submit comments on the notifications from the United Nations concerning these drug substances. FDA, in cooperation with the National Institute on Drug Abuse, will consider the comments on behalf of HHS in evaluating the WHO scheduling recommendations. Then, under section 201(d)(2)(B) of the CSA, HHS will recommend to the Secretary of State what position the United States should take when voting on the recommendations for control of substances under the 1971 Psychotropic Convention at the CND meeting in March 2019.

Comments regarding the WHO recommendations for control of Cannabis and Cannabis Resin; Dronabinol (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol); Tetrahydrocannabinol (Isomers of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol); Extracts and Tinctures of cannabis; Cannabidiol Preparations; Preparations Produced Either by Chemical Synthesis or as Preparation of Cannabis; under the 1961 Single Convention will also be forwarded to the relevant Agencies for consideration in developing the U.S. position regarding narcotic substances at the CND meeting.

Dated: February 25, 2019.

Acting Associate Commissioner for Policy.

Streets, Roads, and Royal Oak Township Benefit from Voting YES on Proposals 1, 2, 3, and Wayne County Comm College District

by Weed Warrior

When you vote YES on Proposals One, Two, and Three, you will be voting for jobs, justice, and education reform.  Within the new law is a provision for growing Industrial Hemp. Over  25,000 products can be manufactured from the plant and one of them is concrete. If you elect Gretchen Whitmer, Hempcrete will make our roads sweet because it will help to fix the damn roads all over Michigan, especially some of these bridges on the Interstate Freeway System and state trunk lines. 

Royal Oak Township Says YES on One

Higher Educational institutions like Michigan State University will prosper in the research and development of Hemp product if Proposal 1 passes. Just recently, Michigan State University in East Lansing MI was awarded a 2.4 million dollar grant form the National Institute of Health to do just that. MSU is an agricultural institution adopting cannabis research will have national implications for other institutes of higher learning. The revenue generated will be reinvested into student development and soften the damage of legal expenses incurred for a few bad apples that come along every now and then.

Recently Royal Oak Township in Oakland County Michigan had guest investors speak to the citizens regarding the old Mel Farr Ford Dealership converting it into a Marijuana grow and community facility. Project spokesperson former State Senator Virgil K. Smith along with Margret Brenner from Minorities in Marijuana did a great job in explaining the benefits of having a Marijuana facility like this in the community. Currently 8 mile road is a major trunk line that will allow potential customers easy access and exit with a community benefits agreement for cannabis to hire Royal Oak Township residents and direct where revenues are going. For instance, 30% of all revenue from sales will go toward local cities and townships, enabling them to have their own police, fire and educational system instead of paying Oakland County for them.

Marijuana Consultant Virgil K. Smith
Supports Royal Oak Township's effort to Opt Into State Marijuana Laws

The Breakdown of revenue for Royal Oak Township, Oakland County and, State of Michigan goes like this: Local home rule provisions will allow locals to regulate facilities and secure local approval before getting licensed by the MM Licensing Board. These laws will help manage the estimated new jobs created by taxing facilities at the rate of %3 that will be distributed in the following manner.

• %30 to Counties (no more bankrupt Royal Oak Township)
• %30 to the General Fund diverted to the Firefighter Presumption of Cancer and First Responders Presumed Coverage Fund
• %25 to municipalities
• %5   to County Sheriffs
• %5   to MCOLES for training local police officers
• %5   to the Michigan State Police

When you vote in November it's to remember what happens in December. The Lame Duck legislature already has their plan in place to change your votes on Proposals 1, 2, and 3 because the Current Governor; Attorney General and Justices on State Supreme Court will let them do it. They are in charge until December 31st, 2018 at 11:59:59pm. With the support of the current Justices, they will render your votes invalid just like the Emergency Managers and other laws passed by the people. One of the clearest example of Voter Fraud is to allow the legislature to reinstate laws that were rejected by voters using the same language as a line item budget amendment to prevent it from being changed. 

A vote for Samuel will stop their Lame Duck Plans

With a new Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, and Supreme Court Judges ALL of the damage will be reversed through a massive system overhaul of processes and procedures. Electing a Lt. Governor with a Microsoft background in Garlin Gillcrest, the needed changes will be made with cabinet level oversight. New Judges in the Supreme Court will undo the process of voter fraud by legislators into disallowing a legislature to override the votes of the people.

From Now until November 6th, 2018 @ 7:59pm  #ShowUpAndVote at your polling place to be the change agent you need to be.

VOTE YES on  1, 2, 3 and, WCCD!

Michigan Deserves Way Better! Vote The Pro Cannabis 420 Slate August 2018

By the Weed Warrior

On or before August 7th, 2018, cast your vote for candidates who have a proven record of supporting the legalization of marijuana.  Michigan deserves much better in the delegation that is representing southeastern Michigan, especially Wayne County. The current crop of legislators have effectively ignored the votes and the will of the people through their actions. For a political action committee to recommend candidates who are convicted felons, domestic violence abusers, and supporting false claims of sexual harassment by accusers is disgusting and programmed distractions for maximum damage to candidates.

2014 Wayne County 420/Green Slate Primary Election Guide - August 5, 2014

by  Weed Warrior


The following voters guide is based on a candidate's support of Green Jobs through the use, cultivation and, manufacturing of the male and female cannabis plant. While states like Colorado and Washington are benefiting from the explosion in green jobs, current Michigan legislators have been very lackluster when it comes innovation and job creation benefits from the acceptance of "The Plant".

The candidates endorsed on this slate would be the best fit to:
1.  Create a friendly environment for cannabis based businesses in the State of Michigan and regulate it's use as a free market commodity.
2.  Reverse the changes in the Michigan Medical Marijuana law that imposes senseless restrictions of the transporting of marijuana in a vehicle and, other changes that are designed to increase the pipeline to prison and, asset forfeiture cash cow that communities rely on.
3.  Creating Green jobs through the cultivation of  Industrial Hemp for products like fuel and building materials for homes, roads repair, and automobiles.
4.  Modify and remove restrictions on felons allowing them to be caregivers in the Michigan Medical Medical Marijuana program. Being honest on giving someone who made a mistake a true chance to succeed and, create jobs if so inclined to do so.
