Re:                 Legalization of Marijuana
Submitted to: Economic & Social
Sponsored by: The Netherlands
Date:            March 5, 1998

Aware that marijuana, has many medical, yet is still illegal in many countries. A few medical uses: can be used to help chemotherapy patients, those with glaucoma, or victims of AIDS who are in the stage of the AIDS wasting syndrome, Spasticity, epilepsy, asthma, migraines, arthritis, and cystic fibrosis.

Also aware that hemp comes from the marijuana plant and has many everyday uses as well. It can be used to make clothes and the hemp fabric is much stronger than cotton, it can be used to make rope, textiles, oil, and paint.

Statistics showing that marijuana hasn’t caused any deaths and is not addicting while alcohol kills thousands every year and it is still legal.

Deciding that Marijuana could be the solution for many of the world’s problems. 1) If people started making paper and paper products out of hemp so many trees wouldn’t have to be cut down. 2) If everyone around the world could grow marijuana, they could then make a form of tofu from it and feed the starving people of the world. 3) It is believed that 90% of the world's energy needs can be met by using methane and methanol produced from hemp grown bio-mass.

Noting that legalization would result in less spending on the criminal justice system and lower the amount of arrests and imprisonments around the world. It would also give cops better things to focus on like real crimes.

Realizing that legalization would reduce the amount of marijuana users. Holland legalized marijuana in 1976 and the percent of reduction has gone down 40%.

1. Marijuana be legalized all over the world.
   
2. A marijuana license be instituted to those who plan on using or growing marijuana after passing a test on the known side-effects, cautions, etc... that they should be aware of.
   
3. If a person commits any crime/felony under the influence of marijuana they can have their license provoked and they get to sit through a 6 hour lecture on being bad and they aren't allowed to fall asleep.

In consideration of the fact that many member nations of the United Nations, including Japan, would like to alter the traditional structure of the Security Council to include permanent representation from nations other than those now comprising the permanent five, and

Disturbed that some countries have found the administration of the Security Council lacking in its open-mindedness, but

Confident that the members of the Security Council are doing their best to maintain open minds toward any and all resolutions that come into their jurisdiction, and

Aware that a resolution (GA-51) has been drawn up to add more permanent members to the Security Council and to allow for the General Assembly to override vetoes made by Security Council permanent members with a 2/3 majority vote,

1. Examine the sensibility of maintaining the traditional structure of the Security Council.
   
2. Preserve the balance of power currently employed in the Security Council by not altering the status of any currently non-permanent nations to a permanent status.
   
3. Not allow a 2/3 majority vote in the General Assembly to override any vetoes made by permanent members of the Security Council.
