| Message | We support none of this bill. People can do drugs? No contraceptives are provided by the government. People can just drink booze whenever they want? We cannot support such actions. |

| Message | That is unfortunate, i belive that people should be allowed to use drugs. In addition alcohol should not be regulated, making it illgeal just adds to childrens desire to drink it. In addition why should the government subsidise contraception? |
