How does this work? Do I declare the redraft hostile, or do we vote on it as is?

I can't imagine supporting something that basically makes this kind of useless.

Why have section 1 subsection 9 and section 2 subsection 7 been scored out?

This is the process TNF:

You must be logged in to read this quote.


bold = Stage 1
italics = Stage 2

Stage 1:
Senator TNF, you may file a motion to approve the redraft by a simple majority vote or withdraw the bill.

If you choose the former and the redraft is rejected, you will have opportunity in stage two to resume debate or send the original version back to the President.

I guess your best bet would be the vote.

I'd like a vote then.

I encourage the Senate to reject the President's redraft and present to him the bill as it was.

Why have section 1 subsection 9 and section 2 subsection 7 been scored out?

It doesn't make sense to mandate that certain revenue sources must fund specific programs. If we want more treatment centers and rehabilitation programs for drug addicts, we should debate the appropriate amount of funding on its own terms.

I am completely fine with that alteration. I just want to see something, even if it's just decriminalization, done in the way of hard drug usage.

Aye

I have my doubts that the original version could override a veto - this version is better than nothing at all.

Nay

Passing this version would make the bill essentially meaningless.

NAY


The redraft has enough votes to fail. Senators have 24 hours to change their vote.

Question: I see no reference to driving under the influence of these drugs. Are DUI laws currently malleable enough to include these new substances? I suggest we create a subcategorization of drugs (oh gawd, a schedule system), and make sure that certain psychoactive drugs without the potential for abuse (like shrooms), are legal but prevent you from being able to drive or operate heavy machinery. Since bans already exist, we could just state that driving under the influence of any drug in that subsection is illegal, be it alcohol, marijuana, psilocybin mushrooms, etc.

The redraft sort of guts the original purpose of this bill, no?

Let's resume debate. That redraft cut too much out.

Sorry, when I saw Spiral urging a decision at the top of this page I figured one hadn't been made yet.

Debate resumed

I'm not sure how exactly to word this if we're just going for decriminalization of hard drugs. Thoughts/suggestions?
