| Message | Mr speaker, My party is a party of conservative, traditional values and for that reason we are against the use of any recreational drugs other than alcohol and tabacco. Despite this, we agree with the Centralists that this proposed legislation is better than the current one in force and will support this motion for that reason. We also would like to recommend that we enforce a system of or recreational drugs such as cannabis. This system would be that the drugs can only be SOLD and USED in special licensed 'drug cafés' where it will be legal to use however it should be ILEGAL to use these drugs anywhere else and should be considered an offence. Obviously that would make drug dealing ilegal. These steps could decrease the use of such substances and will stop thousands dying every year. George Cameron Leader C.U.P |
