Not that I'm disagreeing with the general sentiment, but if weed was legalized at the federal level wouldn't that completely gently caress up like 15 international treaties that the US either is a party to or started themselves?

The U.S. very frequently signs and doesn’t ratify treaties it doesn’t intend to be bound to.

International Labor Convention
Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discriminations Against Women
U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea
Convention on the Rights of the Child
Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty
Ottawa Treaty (banning landmines)
Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court
Kyoto Protocol

Then there are the really good treaties the U.S. just doesn’t sign, like the Convention on Cluster Munitions.

Then there are the things that technically aren’t treaties, like the “Iran nuclear deal”.

Then there are the treaties that the U.S. prefers to say they “withdrew” from rather than “broke”, like the Intermediate‐Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.

Treaties need to be ratified by the Senate, and since that's very difficult (just ask Woodrow Wilson), the US signs the treaties, never ratifies them, and then basically only observes it if the President likes it enough to do so. Of course, this also means that the US can just stop complying with a treaty at the drop of a hat, such as Trump just deciding that land mines and cluster bombs are good again.

This is also a handy-dandy excuse for the US, since you can never separate "we're not ratifying the treaty because Congress would never go for it" from "we're not ratifying the treaty because we do not want to do so".

Yeah, I guess I heard it a bit wrong. Still, I imagine that they would cite treaties as a reason not to legalize marijuana even if 100% of Americans wanted it.

Oh I just saw a cool piece about broken treaties






quote:

Indian Act - Nadia Myre

Indian Act speaks of the realities of colonization - the effects of contact, and its often-broken and untranslated contracts. The piece consists of all 56 pages of the [Canadian] Federal Government’s Indian Act mounted on stroud cloth and sewn over with red and white glass beads. Each word is replaced with white beads sewn into the document; the red beads replace the negative space.

to go with what was stated, if the usa writes the treaty they are exempt from any part of it they dont like
the tpp had a bunch of bits in it that only applied to the other countries cause the us didnt want to do them but wanted to make sure the other countries would
