| Message | Allowing oneself to go out into public place is a public nuisance and as such is illegal. Do you wish to ban alcohol on the same basis? |

| Message | Of all of the recently proposed bills, this is the one that the MLP and Party Royale should most agree on. We urge the leaders of the MLP to vote no on this bill and to protect all citizens' individual rights. |

| Message | What "individual" rights? You don't let people commit suicide? Oh wait ,you do, you let them do the drugs. People who try suicide get put in a rehab facility. This should be the same way, because it's suicide. Drugs are bad and society needs it discouraged. Banning is a strong message and definitely discourages it. |

| Message | Terminally ill folks are permitted to kill themeselves in this nation. |
