Smack Ain't Whack Act of 2014

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

If one were to take my comments on Sen. TNF's bills  they'd think I'm some insane right-winger, and I'll clarify that I'm not. That said, I don't want heroin in the nation's high schools.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

The problem with Heroin comes with it's illegality more than anything else. Properly regulated and distributed heroin would be far safer and would result in far less accidental overdoses than the stuff currently being peddled on our streets.

But to high school sophomores?

But to high school sophomores?

Sure. Again, I'm a firm believer in the idea that persons 16 and older should be considered full fledged adults and should have all the rights that come with that, including the right to engage in the use of mind-altering substances. Hence my 'Sweet Sixteen' Act.

Senator, have you thought through the ramifications of giving high schoolers access to every drug imaginable? I have, and they're not pretty.

(Internet sucks here, so my participation will be reduced for the next week or so. I'll still try to respond though.)

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

I never thought I'd say this, but I agree entirely with Sens. Lumine and Yankee. Perhaps we could amend this to include only the softer drugs (LSD, shrooms, etc.)? Or are those all already legal?

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

We could resolve the fear-of-being jailed issue by replacing jail with rehab (and perhaps community service if we absolutely must punish drug users, which I'm not the biggest fan of).

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Then Mr. Deus's concern is thrown out.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

So what penalties do drug users face?

None. Hard drug use is decriminalized, soft drug use is fully legal.

That system sounds perfect IMHO.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

The ones that are legal now.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Nay.
