I believe this is the proposal in question:
Category: Recreational Drug Use
Decision: Promote
Proposed by: Pucus puss

Description: Drugs should be totally legal. Think about how high crime would be if they were banned. People would steal or even murder for drugs. If it is legal they could just go to the local drugdealer.

taking drugs is almost like smoking. Yes smoking is bad but the government allows it so why aren't drugs allowed?

Make drugs legal!

Hang on...
If legalising drugs reduces crime as less things are illegal and thus those who previously would have been commiting a crime in selling drugs no longer are criminals.
Reminds me of a British comedy sketch-
Amsterdam Policeman: Vee had ay, erm, problem vitt high burglary rates. So vee legalised it...

Poorly written proposal. Will die like all other really bad proposals.

Assume a person addicted to drugs finds themselves in a less-than-desirable financial situation. Wouldn't they then steal or even murder for drugs just the same? In fact, if you legalize drugs, most governments will tax the hell out of them anyway, making them more expensive and increasing the chance for the situation I just described.

sorry, but we will not support a proposal governing drug control, let alone one that is as ill concieved as this
