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.
