CNN: The global experiment of marijuana legalization
The United Nations may soon decriminalize medicinal marijuana. The first step is for the World Health Organization’s Expert Committee on Drug Dependence (ECDD) to reclassify marijuana from a narcotic drug to medicine. The ECDD is conducting pre-reviews of cannabis in order to consider reclassification.
The UN takes it's advice from the ECDD. The United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961, as amended by the 1972 Protocol is the leading obstacle to worldwide decriminalization. If the UN amends this convention, then all 185 nations that signed it will have to follow and decriminalize medicinal marijuana.
