Bill: Industrial Hemp Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Ducal Delegation
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: November 2087
Description[?]:
| Aldegar has no regulations at all on the use of industrial hemp, which means the raw material often falls into the wrong hands and is abused as a drug. Some commentators want industrial hemp production banned altogether but we suggest a sensible middle course: let us permit the production of industrial hemp, but insist upon rigid regulations to prevent the possibility of industrial hemp production encouraging drug abuse. |
Proposals

| Message | Why don't we legalize softdrugs and their production? That is a lot easier. |
| Date | 23:12:52, July 28, 2005 CET | From |  Ducal Delegation | To | Debating the Industrial Hemp Act |
| Message | There is a separate legislative option to change the legal status of cannabis. I don't think our electorate would react generously to a party which supported legalisation, however... |
| Date | 10:18:52, July 29, 2005 CET | From | Sanctaphrax Party | To | Debating the Industrial Hemp Act |
| Message | We back this bill, but would in no way back legalisation of cannabis. That would not be the way to solve this problem of drug abuse. |
