Legalization: Prop. 19 passage could spark U.S.-California legal war over pot - Marijuana - sacbee.com

The "drug warriors" keep up their rant. As for the U.N. treaties that would be "violated," the U.S. stong-armed the world to get them passed. (See our "Influence of the U.S. on U.N. Drug Policy" ) In passing Prop. 19, Californians would be telling the world that the U.S. really is a democracy, where the people can peacefully confront the policies of their government when those policies, even if imposed on the rest of the world via U.S. hegemony, prove to be failures.  

Prop. 19 passage could spark U.S.-California legal war over pot - sacbee.com: "'The California proposition is not a close call,' wrote the ex-DEA administrators, including Robert Bonner, the former supervising U.S. attorney in Los Angeles. 'It will be a clear conflict with established federal law.'

Reached Wednesday in Mexico City, where he was attending a drug policy conference, Bonner said the California measure conflicts with United Nations treaties signed to prevent the spread of psychoactive drugs.

'The United States has treaties that would be violated if Proposition 19 were enacted. It would send a terrible signal to countries of the world,' he said." Oct. 8, 2010, Sacramento Bee
