| Message | what a load of lies. There is no drug related crime at all. Prohibition artifically inflates the cost of drugs making it necessary to commit crime to afford drugs. Anyway, it's my body you fascist |

| Message | The reason the MLF young yobbos believe "There is no drug related crime at all" is probably because they are so out of their heads on drugs themselves. It is a sad fact of political life in Aloria that the drugs epidemic has reached even the National Assembly itself. Abraham Bridgewater (Leader of the Pensioners' Party) |

| Message | Don't bother, MLF. I'll probably be dead by the time the courts get round to hearing the case... Abraham Bridgewater (Leader of the Pensioners' Party) |

| Message | While drug use is popular amongst MLF member it is hypocritical for the Pensioners Party to point this out considering their penchant for sherry. Alcohol - 2nd most deadly drug in the world. |
