> harsh international/national laws against marijuana more consistent with the growing legalization around the world.  
> I think the word is "Double Standards" :-)

> A group of NGOs are submitted a report on how to make the revisions fairer.  The rough draft is an interesting

> illegal drug traffickers and legal drug companies is the number of lawyers and number of patents they have.   
> Marijuana is going from illegal to legal because it is making more use of lawyers and patents.

> Dear colleagues,

> The WHO convenes next week a special Expert Committee meeting to discuss international scheduling of Cannabis.
> Attached is the advanced edited draft for endorsement of NGOs, of a joint civil society contribution that underlines 
> some severe errors and bias in the process. Minor changes might appear in the final version, which will in no way 
> modify the content.
>
> Endorsements are sought before Wednesday 30th May, 6:00 pm Geneva time (CET).
>
> Please send endorsements to ecdd40 () faaat net or myself.
>
> Please, circulate among colleagues that you know might be interested in endorsing this statement.
> Thank you!

> Have a great day,
