The common country warned the Australian Capital Territory that it would violate international law by legalizing the use of marijuana by individuals, but was countered by the government, claiming that the common country should not talk about it, but should observe and study how far the United States and Canada would go on the road to legalization of marijuana.

After being concerned about recent reports of legalization of marijuana in the Capital Territory, (INCB), the International Narcotics Control Board of the common country, sent a letter to the Federal government of Australia reaffirming that the Capital Territory legalized the non-medical use of marijuana through legislation, including minor use, which was inconsistent with the single Convention on Narcotics of 1961, the Convention on psychotropic substances of 1971 and the Convention against illicit Traffic in anesthetic products and psychotropic substances of 1988.
Australia has signed three international conventions on drug use and restrictions on medical insurance with more than 200 countries around the world.
But Barr (Andrew Barr), chief director of the Capital Territory, defends the marijuana legalization bill, which will enter into force on January 30, 2020, saying the supply and trafficking of marijuana is still illegal and that the common country should focus elsewhere.
"The marijuana legalization laws in Canada, Colorado and California are much broader than those passed last month in the Capital Territory," he said.
"the International Narcotics Control Board should focus better on the countries and states that legalized marijuana, rather than on the reform of the Australian Capital Territory."
