United Nations approves WHO recommendation to reschedule cannabis in historic vote

 

Published December 2, 2020 | By Alfredo Pascual

 

The eagerly awaited approval of Recommendation 5.1 had a slim majority in favor with 27 votes for, one abstention and 25 votes against.

 

The CND โ€“ the main drug policymaking body within the United Nations โ€“ turned down all five remaining recommendations.

 

The passage of Recommendation 5.1 carries broad symbolic significance for medical cannabis, as it could help boost medical cannabis legalization efforts around the globe now that the CND tacitly acknowledges the medical utility of the drug.

 

โ€œThe medical cannabis wave has accelerated in recent years already, but this will give it another boost,โ€ Martin Jelsma, drugs and democracy program director at the Netherlands-based Transnational Institute, told Marijuana Business Daily.

 

โ€œAnd for those countries that basically mirror the U.N. scheduling in their domestic legislation, it may lead to national descheduling and remove obstacles to use cannabis for medical and research purposes.โ€
