| Message | The use of recreational drugs are harmful on the mind and the body and cause and the legal use of drugs for entertainment puts a strain on police and health services. |
| Date | 04:33:46, September 23, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Drug Enforcement Act (2641) |
| Message | Drugs are fun. If we banned everything the less bit dangerous, there'd be nothing left to do. No tobacco. No alcohol. No deep fried foods. No meat at all in fact. People need to be able to live their lives free from government control as much as is practicable. This certainly falls within that. |

| Message | It is already illegal to drive a car while impaired. The kinds of people who would do that are the kinds of people who would not pay attention to any kind of general prohibition. The only people affected by the proposed law are those ordinary sensible citizens. |

| Random quote: "In Germany they first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me--and by that time no one was left to speak up." - Pastor Martin Niemoller |
