- Subject: UN Decision
-
- Having seen references to a UN decision to change marijuana from a schedule
- I to schedule II drug, I decided to try and track down a copy of this
- decision. After many visits to the documents section, one of the reference
- librarians found the decision for me. I am posting it just for general
- information, and so that anyone else that wants it can obtain a copy. It
- was found in the UN Microfiche set # E/CN.7/1991/26, and it is on page
- 98.
- Decision 2 (XXXIV)
- Transfer of delta-9-THC and its stereochemical variants
- from Schedule I to Schedule II of the Convention
- on Psychotropic Substances, 1971.
-
- At its 1045th meeting, on April 29,1991, the Commission on Narcotic Drugs,
- in accordance with article 2, paragraphs 5 and 6, of the Convention on
- Psychotropic Substances, 1971, decided that delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (also
- referred to as delta-9-THC) and its stereochemical variants should be
- transferred from Schedule I to Schedule II of that Convention.
-
- Wouldn't it be interesting to see if Bush pushes for this as hard as he
- does when UN decisions affect another country, such as Iraq?
-
- Anyone requiring any additional information can e-mail to me.
