Canada's medical cannabis programs are poorly regulated, UN Agency says via TheGrowthOp

The United Nations’ International Narcotics Control Board warned governments around the globe that countries who have legalized the use of medical cannabis must ensure that those programs are used exclusively for their intended use, and not to “de facto legalize” cannabis for recreational use.

In its 2018 report, the INCB also urged governments to “limit the indications for medical use to those for which there is evidence of efficacy, restrict use to medicinal cannabinoids, and monitor the prescription and use of cannabinoids to minimize their diversion and abuse.” The INCB also accuses countries with medical and recreational cannabis programs of violating international treaties.
