Message | Mr. Speaker, We've been through this before. Marijuana negatively impacts teenage brain development and is an addictive drug. Pregnant and breastfeeding women who take Marijuana may be causing mental disabilities in their children. We will vote no. The Rt Hon. Roslyn Winship MD Imperial Chancellor and Leader of the PCP |

Message | Mr. Speaker, This will keep it harder for kids to get it, that's why it needs to be regulated. Do you prefer drug dealers to sell it? Pregnant women who drink alcohol while pregnant can cause issues for their unborn child, but that doesn't mean we need to ban booze. It's through education that you teach people to be smart about their choices not through prohibition. Get some new arguments because right now their literally from the 1950s. It's 3943 now. |

Message | Mr. Speaker, The gentleman from the Reform Party is talking nonsense. It is well-known that in the 1950s, drugs such as these did not even exist in their current form. I'm not sure about what "arguments" he alleges I am using. I am using arguments proven by many scientists from Luthori and throughout the world. If the gentleman is so confident in bureaucratic regulations, is he willing to explain why despite Luthori's history of very strict regulations on gun ownership, criminals still acquire guns? Can he explain why despite alcohol and tobacco regulations, usage of these substances by adolescents still continues to this day? Say "no" to drugs and live healthy lives. The Rt Hon. Roslyn Winship MD Imperial Chancellor and Leader of the PCP |

Message | Mr. Speaker, Cannabis has been in use since 2000 BCE... Prohibition doesn't work, which is why the Reform Party were responsible for drafting legislation to allowing people to purchase firearms. Previously, it was completely illegal for any law abiding citizen to purchase a firearm. We are applying the same logic to cannabis and expecting the same results. And the usage of tobacco by adolescents has gone down tremendously. In fact tobacco use was very much widespread at one point in history, but now its very much seen as a health hazard. |

Message | OOC: I forgot about this, so I'm putting it to a vote to clear this out |

Message | Mr Speaker The Reform Party's logic is very sound, we wholeheartedly agree with this. As for the PCP's absolutely ridiculous logic about breastfeeding women and children taking cannabis, we ask them what of alcohol? That is a legal substance in our nation, do you also wish to ban that? Jason Chandler Leader of New Choice |
