Bill: Dangerous Substances Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Justice, Development and Freedom
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill proposes the withdrawal from a treaty. It will require half of the legislature to vote in favor[?]. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 3518
Description[?]:
| The use of alcohol and drugs are, of course, contrary to the laws of Akim. Nonetheless, Justice, Development and Freedom realises that many Al Badarans desire to smoke and drink. Yet this is no reason to allow the sale of dangerous recreational drugs, or to leave tobacco and alcohol relatively unregulated. We propose regulation of alcohol and tobacco and withdrawal from the Organisation of Drug Exporting Nations, so that we may craft a sane drug policy in the future. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
