| Message | Why are you against? If we allow people to put any drug they want in their body, we should also free the selling of alcoholic beverages... |

| Message | We were against that law as well becasue the possibility exists that people don't know what exactly they put in their body or that it's a low-quality drug. The same risk exists with alcoholic beverages, that's why we should allow only licensed sales outlets to sell them. We don't want our citizens to drink methanol, do we? |

| Message | There's a difference between regulating sale of substances and regulating consumption of substances. We're for the first but against the second. So, against. |
