Uruguay's Prez Rips Into U.N. Official Over Marijuana Law: ‘Stop Lying'
José “Pepe” Mujica shot back on Friday at the president of the International Narcotics Control Board, a U.N. agency, for saying that his administration refused to meet with the agency’s officials before legalizing marijuana this week.
Mujica batted down the criticism, insisting that his administration is open to discussing the law and accusing the INCB President Raymond Yans of applying a double standard by criticizing Uruguay, even as U.S. states pass laws to legalize recreational marijuana consumption.

Uruguay's decision to legalise marijuana is in violation of an international convention on drug control, a Vienna-based body set up to monitor government compliance with such treaties has said.
Uruguay became the first country to legalise the growing, sale and smoking of marijuana on Tuesday, in a pioneering experiment that will be closely watched by other nations debating drug liberalisation.

UNO stresst voll rum - Marihuana-Legalisierung in Uruguay
Die Legalisierung des Anbaus und Verkaufs von Cannabis in Uruguay verstößt nach Ansicht zweier UN-Behörden gegen internationales Recht. Das am Dienstag vom Senat in Montevideo verabschiedete Gesetz breche gleich mehrere Abkommen zur Kontrolle des weltweiten Drogenhandels, kritisierte der für die Umsetzung derartiger Abkommen zuständige Internationale Suchtstoffkontrollrat (INCB) am Mittwoch.

Sollen Legal Highs verboten werden?
Immer wieder tauchen Berichte über die zuweilen lebensbedrohlichen Nebenwirkungen der vermeintlich harmlosen Kräutermischungen, „Badesalze“ oder Research Chemicals auf, doch die Gesetzgebung in den meisten Ländern hinkt dem Phänomen latent hinterher. In Deutschland bemüht sich der Gesetzgeber zwar, den gefährlichen Partydrogen Einhalt zu gebieten, der Erfolg hält sich jedoch in Grenzen.
Zwar werden regelmäßig neue Substanzen auf die Liste der verbotenen Betäubungsmittel gesetzt, doch diese Maßnahme kann mit der Geschwindigkeit, mit der neue Substanzen auf den Markt kommen, kaum mithalten.
In Großbritannien sollen die seit Juni temporär verbotenen psychoaktiven Forschungschemikalien Benzofuran—besser bekannt unter dem Namen Benzo Fury—und NBOMe nun also zu Drogen der Klasse B bzw. A erklärt werden.
