| Message | The use of cannabis is proven to have massive health benefits? We do not even want to know what you're smoking. Cannabis an addictive and harmful substance is proven to cause issues with mental development and intelligence. |
| Date | 01:58:27, December 18, 2015 CET | From | Green Party | To | Debating the To Legalize Marijuana |
| Message | The anti-carcinogenic effects of marijuana are currently extremely promising as well as the fact that it is used to treat seizures and stress as well as in some cases, PTSD. Cannabis is not at all addictive, especially when compared to cigarettes or other, harder drugs. Alcohol is in fact more addictive than cannabis. Yes, marijuana consumption is dangerous when consumed in excess or in underage users, however, similar to alcohol, it is expected that limits will be placed upon its production and consumption. There is no damage to intelligence in an adult who responsibly uses the substance. Extremely similar to alcohol in all respects except alcohol is arguably far worse. |

| Message | Due to the recent outright violations of states' rights, we will be preparing a peaceful secession for the states that elected our party as a majority from Beluzia. Unless these centralization policies do not change soon, we are threatening to push for secession. If peaceful means cannot be obtained, we are willing to do any means necessary to obtain our independence, whether through ink or blood. |

| Message | Correction, unless these policies do change*. |
