Bill: Legalisation of Recreational Drugs
Details
Submitted by[?]: Liberty Party
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: January 2241
Description[?]:
| Prohibition of drugs is illiberal as it interferes with the individual's right to make their own decisions. Prohibition of 'drugs' is hypocritical because it restricts certain drugs (like marijuana) but allows others (like alcohol and tobacco). Prohibition of drugs is bad economics because it interferes in the free market, reduces tax receipts and increases government expense. Prohibition of drugs is bad health policy because it makes it harder for addicts to obtain treatment. Prohibition of drugs increases crime because it artificially raises prices (causing addicts to turn to crime) and gives organised crime a large market in which to operate. |
