| Message | "I do applaude the DLP's push for more freedom of industry to utilise such materials and should Article 1 have been provided separatly I would have pushed for CMP support." -Shadow Secretary of State for Trade and Industry: Brian Kent "However, I have advised the senior managment and whips to order an official oppositon of this bill based on Articles 2 and 3 which would, undoubtedly cause a mass catastrophe on a social level. The freedom to use a drug of this nature is something that cannot be entrusted to ANYONE. If drugs were running through this nation as free as tobacco then there is no end to what sort of mischief that we will see in our young population, or what sort of illegal activity will be endorsed next. The CMP takes a stand against this move in the name of Morality and Social decency." *-Party Secretary for Morality and Religion: Matthew Cardinal Lindisfarne |

| Message | We thank the Honorable Shadow Secretary and Party Secretary for offering their feedback. We will take it into consideration as we continue to try to find the cannabis policy that is right for our republic. |
