| Message | We oppose. Shall everyone in adult age have the right to decide what is right or wrong for himself, according the principle "my freedom ends where the other's one starts", without any sort of "hegelian" ethical-State. |

| Message | We agree with proposal. Though the Confucian League does not have a definite policy on drugs, we lean towards allowing lesser regulations of less harmful drugs such as cannibis, khat and tobacco, moderate regulations on moderately harmful drugs such as alcohol and LSD and bans on hard drugs such as crack, heroin and meth. |
