| Message | The NDP leadership just smoked a bowl in honor of this bill. If it passes, we demand government subsidies of munchies for Lodamun's less fortunate. |

| Message | When it comes to things like this, one standard truly is absolutley necessary, or else the people that live within a few minutes, and even hours driving distance of one province to anohter, will simply cross the border when they want to break their provinces laws. |

| Message | If this is only medicinal, then add that to the wording on the bill. However, even then, if one Kingdom allows its' use for medicinal purposes, and another dosn't, then people from one Kingdome will travel to the next in order to purchase said medicine. Then drive, or fly, back home. This could have an impact on the medical fields of thie individual kingdomes by making it so that Kingdoms that allow for the use of cannabis will have more people traveling and going to their doctors than in Kingdoms that bann there use. We know that the FL desperately wants everything in the country to be left up to local governments, but if that is the case, why do we have a national government at all. WHy don't you just take your local government and secede frinm us? |

| Message | First of all: the word "medicinal" IS in the proposal. Secondly: Seceding from the government isn't quite the same as working for federalism. It's not quite that simple. The LDP, for example, supports the devolvement of governmental control and regulation as low as it can reasonably go. This is because we believe that true classical democracy cannot be practiced on a scale much larger than a city. The Free Lodamese, as far as I can tell, are not quite that serious about small government. We fail to see the huge catastrophe that would occur if people drove to different kingdoms to see a doctor. Besides, they wouldn't be driving home with it legally, remember - it's still illegal at home. And furthermore, what stops our citizens from the Kingdom of Kregon currently from driving across the border to the Republica Baltusia to see a doctor there? They have legal medicinal cannabis AND completely unguarded borders. What stops them? Nothing. So this terrible catastrophe you fear is already happening, but you didn't know about it because it doesn't affect anything. It's not a catastrophe at all. |

| Message | I didn't say it was a catastrophe, just pointing out aspects of the law change. |
