I was gowing through the UN proposals when i came accross this little proposal.


Mild Drug Legalisation Act
A resolution to ban, legalize, or encourage recreational drugs.


Category: Recreational Drug Use
Decision: Legalize
Proposed by: Hysnia

Description: PLEASE READ THIS PROPOSAL BEFORE SIMPLY DISSMISSING IT
Please note: Not nessarsarily all forms of drugs are safe to take.
HOWEVER: Many people would disagree, and no law will stop them from taking drugs.
Unfortunately, when drugs are illegal, it makes it much harder for a drug addict to come forward when they need help.
If there is no threat of a criminal record, drug addicts would be much more willing to come forward, and take rehab.
Understood, it is a much worse thing to do to make money out of the seffering of others.
Seeing no morale injustice due to the use of drugs.

This resolution moves to legalise the use of
Marajuana, Hash, Alcohole, Tobacco, Codine, Mushrooms, LSD, Cocaine, Extacy, Methadone, and Heroin.
This resoulution also moves to legalise the government moniterd selling of
Marajuana, Hash, Alcohole, Tobacco, Codine, and Mushrooms.

Approvals: 12 (Hysnia, Jellydom, Sumnmerset, Bulgarian Legion, Awestralia, Tepoztecal, Cool Egg Socialism, WZ Forums, The WYN starcluster, Sapphire Heights, New Hamilton, Gymnophobia)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 115 more approvals)

Voting Ends: Thu Oct 13 2005

Well Marijuana is Hash, Alcohol and Tobacco is most likely already legal, Mushrooms are not illegal unless they are dried frozen or prepared in any way in most nations.
Methadone not sure whether it is legal but they have it in hospitals and people get proscribed it.
If any of the others were to be legalized it would most likely result in the number of reported deaths and addictions increasing.

Not to mention an increase in violent crime.

You don't need to do this. If people can't be bothered to submit their own proposals to the floor, you don't need to either. Anyway, even ardent pro-drug legislators wouldn't support this piece of crap: it won't reach quorum. I don't feel there'll be much debate to be had.

In my nation such stupid proposals would get you killed.
I would not hear of such out crys :mad:

this proposal is like a lead balloon.

crashing and burning!

a nation states laws already cover what are legal drugs and what arn't so why bother with this proposal?
