Dear Colleagues,

In light of the threats made this month by U.S. officials against the
nations of Colombia and Jamaica and their claims that drug policy reform
would "violate international treaties," Narco News asked for an expert's
point of view, which we publish today.

Internationally respected drug policy scholar and archivist Peter Webster's
analysis, "UN Treaties and Drug Legalization" is now published on Narco
News:

In fact, Webster finds, the UN treaties have specific clauses that state how
nations can develop legalization strategies within the bounds of the already
signed treaties.

Fact-checking the empire...

from somewhere in a country called América,
