| Message | we could support. centrist feeling at the moment. ~ keep regulated: cannabis is watched but still on the streets. ~ legal: more nationally grown products equals jobs and money, while the War on Weed is ended for the most part. But still, something keeps us from fully endorsing legalization. |

| Message | Leaving this to the local governments ensures that different populations are best represented. The people in one tribe may want it to be entirely legal, while another might want it to be entirely illegal. The current law is more democratic. |

| Message | I think proposing a change in this bill would actually be promoting drug use. I'd have to do more research on the options we have, but I know for sure I don't support this proposal. |

| Message | is the functional of gov to protect people from themselves or to ensure they have the maximum personal freedom as long as they do not infringe on anybody else's freedom? if a local tribe in our nation became cannibals would you similary argue that the national gov has no say on what local tribes are doing? has legalizing alcohol led to more alcohol use? be serious. this bill is about allowing people the freedom to do as they want as long as they hurt no one else. in that regard it just asks weed to be treated the same as alcohol and other mind altering substances. |

| Message | the current stance doesnt not outright ban the use. and cannibalism is entirely different than the legalization of rec drugs. while the "war on drugs" may be reduced with legalization....we oppose this bill in favor of allowing local govt to decide based on community preference. |
| Date | 03:06:27, December 28, 2007 CET | From | JDW Tukarali Greens Party | To | Debating the Weed for the Masses omnibus bill |
| Message | it is clear that most parties in this nation support the gov looking into our houses for infractions, so it is not surprising this bill has received so little report. no one has questioned my assertion weed and alcohol should be treated the same. they only raise the bogeyman of some ridiculous war on "drugs". and what, pray tell, is alcohol if not a drug? I get the feeling most parties in this nation are crypto alcohol prohibitionists as well. this bill is going nowhere so I might as well put it up for a vote. |
