Description[?]:
| This bill is the current proposal of previous attempts to change the DDR's recreational drug policy.

| Message | We have reintroduced the measure in this session of the Volkskammer because the previous vote had more abstentions than either yes or no votes. |

| Message | For those who have voted or are leaning towards a no vote, consider this: Allowing some sort of regulation on recreational drugs will actually make their consumption SAFER. Having a complete hands-off policy will allow those who have malicious intentions to lace their recreational drugs with harsher drugs, which could lead to negative reactions by the users. And, if we allow some sort of regulation of drugs, we can tax and administer their sale just as we currently do with the drugs alcohol and nicotene. |

| Message | And if local governments decide this would not be prudent, fine. But let's at least give the local governments the power to do what they feel is right in their states/cities/towns. |

| Message | We want prevent the chance that a Provinz will restrict the use of recreational drug in any way. Every citizen should have the same right nationwide. |
