March 27, 1961: The
UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs was convened in New York City.
This was the first of the three most important UN Drug Conventions that
require states to adopt penal measures against drugs in their domestic
law. Article 4, section C, of the treaty limits "exclusively to medical
and scientific purposes the production, manufacture, export, import, distribution
of, trade in, use and possession of drugs" (http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/legal/singconv.htm).
March 27, 1992: Bill
Clinton, during the 1992 Presidential Campaign, stated, "When I was in
England I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn't like
it. I didn't inhale."
