| Date | 23:09:41, February 17, 2006 CET | From | Democratic-Republican Party | To | Debating the Restrict Substances Act |
| Message | We can crack down on organised crime. These drugs take hundreds of lives annually in Hutori alone, and more than 2/3 of those lives are people killed by those under the influence of the drugs. |
| Date | 23:12:53, February 17, 2006 CET | From | Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Restrict Substances Act |
| Message | History has proven that the money organised crime can earn from banned substances far outweighs whatever a government can throw at the problem. in addition the deaths you refer to almost always come from drugs provided from illegal outlets where the purity is not known and the substances it is 'cut' with are often poisonous! Keep it legal and we can control all of this and the state can make a nice earner from the sale of the certified pure and safe products! |
