What Happens to America’s International Treaty Obligations When States “Legalize” Pot?

What are the implications of state marijuana “legalizations” on anti-drug treaties signed by the U.S. government?

That topic is explored in a new article written by Brian Blumenfeld, a young legal scholar. His article will be published in Pepperdine Law Review later this year. Mr. Blumenfeld relies on a number of sources. One is the controversy that arose before the Constitution was signed, when states passed laws violating the 1783 treaty with Britain that ended the Revolutionary War.
