Bill: Drug Regulation Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Socialist Party of Darnussia
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 2181
Description[?]:
| At the moment, Darnussians are able to legally ingest any substance of any kind. I feel that the most dangerous chemical drugs must be regulated (not necessarily banned, but their use should be restricted). Inhalants that are seriously damaging and life-threatening (such as glue) should be illegal to abuse (at the moment, there is no law prohibiting Darnussians from inhaling glue). Naturally occurring drugs, such as cannabis, psychedelic mushrooms and opium will still be legal. Naturally occuring drugs tend to be much safer than chemical drugs produced in a lab. Drugs like heroin, cocaine, crack, amphetamines and methamphetamines poison Darnussia and they must be carefully controlled. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The recreational drug policy.
Old value:: There are no laws regulating what citizens can put into their bodies.
Current: Recreational drug use is forbidden.
Proposed: All naturally occurring drugs are legal.

| Message | Why do you object to this bill? Do you truly feel that all drugs should be totally unregulated no matter how dangerous? I am only calling for a very slight regulation. This bill does not necesarily BAN chemical, man-made drugs. It says that all naturally occuring drugs are legal. As I have said, the others could be heavily restricted and controlled because they are dangerous. It's the responsible thing to do to regulate man-made drugs because of their potential to cause serious harm or death to people who consume them. |
