Bill: Total Drug Legalization
Details
Submitted by[?]: Tukarali Communist Party
Status[?]: defeated
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: January 2442
Description[?]:
| Tukarali's drug users and abusers have been treated wrongly for too long. Those who have a problem need help, not jail time, and those who are able to use responsibly should be allowed to do so. This will allow us to ensure the purity and safety of drugs that are currently illegal as well. The recent passage of cannabis legalization legislation shows us that Tukarali is ready for this bill. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The recreational drug policy.
Old value:: The use of cannabis is legal.
Current: Recreational drug use is forbidden.
Proposed: There are no laws regulating what citizens can put into their bodies.

| Message | No, we can agree to cannabis, but won't support the legalisation of hard drug |
| Date | 08:13:53, August 09, 2007 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Total Drug Legalization |
| Message | We oppose. All non-prescription drugs are harmful to society at large. Ultimately it is the youth of this nation who will pay for the costs, either from direct harm from taking drugs themselves, or from flow-on effects from their peers or family members. Think of the children. |

| Message | It is a ridiculous assertion that making dangerous drugs illegal will somehow make our children safer. People use the dangerous drugs anyway, but the prices are outrageously high due to the drugs being sent through the black market, the drugs are often adulterated with other products that make them even more dangerous, and drug abusers have less recourse to seek help for fear of arrest. So instead of people just hurting their bodies with drugs some, they also sink into poverty, hurt their bodies even more, and have a harder time getting out of drugs. |
