| Message | RECREATIONAL DRUG USE! Read the law. Recreational drug use applies to cocaine, marajuana, heroin and so on. Don't yell at me for how the game's creators wrote the bill. |

| Message | Cocaine and heroin are both currently illegal. Marijuana is not, and so it shouldn't be! 1. It's not addictive 2. It has never killed ANYONE EVER. 3. The government has no right to tell you that you can't ingest something that occurs naturally. By making it illegal all you're going to do is push it underground and encourage organised crime. |

| Message | It has killed people - it increases your chances of getting lung cancer by 10 times over a cigarette smoker, so if smoking kills - cannabis kills as well. Are you going to argue that it doesn't alter your mind? One of the key points raised by the NR spokesman, cause if you wanna I would suggest that you have ever been to really seen cannabis being used. It also hugely increases your chances of developing a serious mental health problem later in life. Thousands of pharmaceutical drugs are banned a year because they generate far less significant health complications and they are actually good for you! Might I add that cannabis is very often used as a stepping stone drug onto harder drugs like cocaine and heroin. It would appear that household groceries have more regulations on them that drugs... |

| Message | Weed is good for Cancer and Aids and whatnot. Also, it has never killed anybody. Not one proven death. All that lung cancer B.S. is drug industry propoganda. They want it illegal because it cures too many things. Like boredom, for example! |
