metadata.value: In light of the rapidly shifting legislation regarding the legalization of marijuana use, the
  popular notion seems to be that marijuana is a harmless pleasure, access to which should not be
  regulated or considered illegal. World Health Organization recommended to delete cannabis
  and cannabis resin from Schedule IV of the UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (1961),
  but to maintain it in Schedule I of the 1961 Convention. The UN Commission on Narcotic
  Drugs decided by 27 votes to 25 and with one abstention to follow this recommendation. Тhere
  is the issue of how much this decision will affect the legalization of marijuana in the world.
  In the paper are analyzed two legislation of the Anglo-Saxon legal system, which supported
  this initiative (Canada and USA) and legislation of Euro-Continental legal area (Russia) that
  did not accept the reclassifying of cannabis from the 1961 Convention. Author has compared
  the Canadian code with Uruguayan, and the U. S. bill with the Mexican legislation, because
  Mexican bill does not provide the full legalization of marijuana use. In the Russian Federation,
  all deeds related to narcotic drugs, which were committed on a significant, large, and an
  especially large scale, and also all acts coherent to traffic of narcotic drugs, regardless of its
  scale, are regulated by Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Otherwise, there will be
  applied an administrative law.
