Atsuman inter-governmental drug market

Atsuma
30-07-2004, 03:26
Hello,

As it is well known, the Protectorate of Atsuma has no laws regarding drugs. We feel that the use of drugs is determined by the individual and is a matter of personal freedom. Companies, as freedom of business, are able to enact their own policies on the use of drugs without infringing on civil rights. In Atsuma, the sale of narcotics is regulated by the state, lowering the amount of business done by criminal syndicates. As drugs are readily available it makes acquiring them easy, many groups attempt to transport them across the border into other countries that may not have the same drug policies as our nation. To help end this we are attempting to open a white market, inter-governmental drug trade. We will only sell our product to nations that have a similar drug laws, have the resources to help prevent the spread of drugs to more drug strict nations, or are attempted to stem illegal smuggling by the same methods employed by our nation.

Let it be known: In -NO WAY- does the government or people of Atsuma promote the use of substances that are illegal in other nations. We only wish to open legitimate avenues of trade based on our own national beliefs with other nations that share them. We are well aware that by offering these substances some nations may wish to cease trade, diplomatic talks, or even issue trade embargos with our nation. We accept this, and can only hope that in time they can accept political differences.

We look forward to business with our friends and fellow nations.

Plant derivative substances:

Absinthe: "Saeculum De Amand" Pure brewed absinthe
Monks in the northern areas of Atsuma's Ometh mountain range have practiced and perfected the methods of absinth production uninterrupted for hundreds of years. Unlike most methods of brewing absinthe, the wormwood is integral to the distilling process, thus insuring the highest quality and greatest flavor (when properly made, absinthe isn't nearly as brackish as it is renown to be). As the name implies, monks of the particular convent believes that the spirit of Saint Amand, a patron saint of brewers, embodies this fine liquor.

Sold in flats, 50 cases of 12 1 leter bottles. Cost: $150,000 per flat.

Cannabis:
Grown in both indoors hydroponics sites and outdoor ranges, Atsuma boasts a wide variety of cannabis sativa, indicia, and ruderalis. Most commonly known names are available such as Maui Wowie, Afghan, Skunk, Northern Lights, Shiva, Blueberry, BC Gold, White Widow and many others. As well, our own engineered strain Marusen (a hybrid of sativa and indicia) has boasted the highest D9-THC concentration of available strains while lowering the amount of overall carcinogens.
When ordering, please specify the strain if any is preferred. Otherwise you will be sent whatever we have the most available of.

Common varieties available in 1 kilogram bags ($5,000) or by 1 ton sealed blocks ($5,000,000)
Marusen available by 1 kilogram bags ($10,000) or by 1 ton sealed blocks ($10,000,000)

Also available is a specialized strain (Sigma) which produces nearly no D9-THC, the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis. This strain is perfect for industrial use as hemp, paper product and biomass fuel, as well as the many other uses for hemp.

Sigma requires specialized synthesized minerals to ensure the low-THC yield. Technology to create the minerals as well as full specifications and samples of the strain are available to other nations at a cost of $2,500,000,000. For nations not interested in creating their own but are still wish to benefit from hemp, Sigma is sold en bulk in 5 ton sealed blocks ($2,500,000)

Erythroxylum Coca: (Cocaine/Crack)
Derived from pesticide free, hydroponicly grown Coca plants, Atsuman cocaine is highly tested and strained of impurities to ensure the highest possible quality. Working with Fernando Halaz, a former Columbian drug lord, our creation system uses 15 levels of purification providing a fine, velvety powder. Our product is also available in crystallized form commonly known as "crack rocks".

"Never before have I seen such quality product before. This establishment exceeds even what I was able to accomplish in my extensive career in Columbia." -Fernando Halaz

Cocaine rocks are sold in cases of 1000 individually sealed grams ($45,250)

Hashish:
Our hashish is produced from Atsuma's finest strains of cannabis following the methods from Morocco. Because of the process we use, Atsuman hashish usually has a distinct cream color, making it easy to identify from other lower quality types of hashish. As with our cannabis, we ask that interested parties please specify the species of cannabis to be used in the creation of the hashish.

Question for you, how does LSD handle under water, for example: someone was to pump someones water supply full of LSD, would that have an effect or would it dissapate?
Atsuma
30-07-2004, 05:42
Liquid LSD is waterbased and would dilude well into the water. For it to have any effect, you would have to know the amount of water it is being diluded into and add enough LSD to achieve threshold. LSD breaks down in sun and air, so eventually it would work it way out of the water.

So in theory, yes. You just have to calculate it right.

It should be well-known that Miratha and Mayor Kabapus condemn the use of drugs. However, to make sure it does not fall into the hands of the citizens, we will need to buy a lot.

Hashish Marusen strain-1000 1 kilogram stamped blocks ($12,500,000)
Absinthe-50 cases of 12 1 leter bottles. Cost: $150,000 per flat. 1,000 flats.

Total with shipping-$163,000,000
Send it as soon as possible, we don't want you getting bogged with drug-crazed Mirathans before you've given us our stuff, 'cause we probably'll buy out all of it, but you might have more and it might cost much more and... And... Send it quickly.

Mayor Kabapus takes a sip of the Absinthe. "Yep, this is the good stuff. If anyone had gotten their hands on this, who KNOWS what they might've done." He continues to drink.

The Armed Republic of Vyeryon would like to know if The Protectorate of Atsuma does full background checks on companies and or individuals requesting drug trade? It is clear to the Vyeryonian Minister of International Affairs that Atsuma has not been inquiring to the drugs might be used***
The Sha of Vyeryon, being a highly moral person, would like to request that you would enforce some background checking.

This is simply a request, not a demand, or a threat.

(***OOC: I'm referring to the post were you were willing to sell LCD to someone who was obvisouly going to use it to posion the water supply of a city.)

-The Minister of International Affairs, Vyeryon

The Prime Minister of Bartica fully agrees with Vyeryon's position on this issue.
We too would request that you do some extensive background checks on all customers of the drug trade industry.

The Protectorate of Atsuma recognizes the Armed Republic of Vyeryon's concern in regard to background checks. Atsuma does preform an in depth background and history check on a nation upon request to purchase product. After reviewing our previous statement we realize that was not as evident as it should have been.

We appologize for any confusion and wish to insure the Sha of Vyeryon that background checks will be preformed and enforced in all of our business transactions.

Ab-shalom and greetings,

We will gladly share our findings once achieved. For the moment, the controlled usage of LSD has had an effect similar to "spirit visions" and "sweat lodges". Our belief is it must be administered under controlled conditions, and the individual closely monitored by trained professionals.

Does your nation accept contracts for yearly deliveries? We have a few ideas which might require a consistant source of various substances.

We do indeed accept supply contracts. Deliveries are usually devided as monthly shipments, and payment is due at the beginning of the year, but if you would like yearly deliveries that can be accomodated. Also, supply contracts benifit from a 15% price cut.
