Bill: Durg Safety & Devolution of Powers Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Liberal Imperialist Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 2086
Description[?]:
| Noticing that acohol is regulated and recreational drugs are not, and also recognising that certain drugs are extremely dangerous unless carefully regulated in qualitity and strength, and also recognising that different states inside our nation have wildly different views on this issue, the Liberal Imperialist Party proposes that drug regulation be left in the hands of state authorities, where the people there can make better decisions for themselves than simple blanket allowance of any drug of any strength and in any quantity. |

| Message | [OOC: What i really wanted was government regulation, but all the game lets you do is this: # Recreational drug use is forbidden. # The use of cannabis is legal. # All naturally occuring drugs are legal. and all of those are either too extreme or dont go far enough, so it's best to let the states use their common sense.] |

| Message | It's their bodies. You seem to be reading the law as regulating the content of what is sold, but the way we read the law, it regulates what you can actually ingest. Regulating what you can *buy* is not the same thing as regulating what you can put in your body. We support regulation of what's on *sale*, but it seems a little silly to us to make you a criminal for putting something in your body. We might be wrong though and if we all (OOC) agree that what the proposed new law actually means is "regulate what is sold" then we'll support it. |

| Message | OOC: Yes that is basically what I mean. Im not necessarily against drug injestion, but it's just silly not to regulate the concentration etc. |

| Random fact: RP laws follow the same passing rules as in-game variable laws. Laws that are not of a constitutional nature require a simple majority "Yes" vote from active parties currently holding seats. Laws that are of a constitutional nature require a 2/3 majority "Yes" vote from active parties currently holding seats. RP laws may be abolished a simple majority vote this applies to ANY RP law. |
