catogory: Recrational Drug use
a resolution to legalize drug use,


Description, This Act shall, legalize Recreational Drugs for all.
With the condition, Recreational Drugs must be manufactured and sold by the government. This will help improve prophets for the government, reduce wasted police time pertaining to drugs, and will help Recreational Drug users by providing them with safer drugs.

First and foremost, if you want this proposal to be seriously considered, you should try to make it look a bit more professional. Check the post about "Repeal writing guide," it has links to a couple sites with tips for writing in "legalese." And check your spelling, I imagine you meant "profits" not "prophets."

Also, as far as basic mechanics of the proposal, your basic idea does not address how moving drug production from private to public hands will work. Given the very high levels of profit inherent in drug production and trade, it is not very likely that drug lords and traffikers will willingly give up their grip on the drug trade. The idea of having the government produce and distribute the drugs is a sticking point: it might be easier to just keep it in the private sector.

One last thing, would this be a "legalize" or "promote" proposal? These are all things I think you should look into when drafting your proposal.

I'm trying to remember how many minutes I spent cracking up at my computer desk when I realized that you were the only other person to post here besides Wilhelm.

Don't worry, you're not the only one who cracked up after realizing that Wilhelm was the only one person who had posted here.

In a word - NO

Drugs are banned for a reason. The only ones I allow are for medical reasons and Alcohol. Cigarrettes are banned and my Alcohol laws are very tight. I do not see why I should have stoned citizens stumbling aroud everywhere. It effects their productivity and has known side effects.

In _Myopia_, less addictive drugs are provided by our small private sector, but the industry is heavily regulated to ensure safety and purity, and comprehensive labelling is required. The private sector is not allowed to sell the most addictive drugs, because of the potential for extreme exploitation.

I don't think it's a good idea to mandate how the drugs are provided, only that consumers can be guaranteed that their drugs are as strong as the packet says and aren't cut with something else that they don't know about. If a nation can provide that through the private sector, lets not fiddle too much.
