Insert "transportation" between possession and sale in Section 2 Clause 1.

As PPT, I strike that amendment as frivolous. Take it up elsewhere, please, Napoleon. We've already had too many amendments take up time in this bill. Senate business would move faster if we didn't have to constantly vote on separate things here, none of which have passed.

Senate business would move faster if you accepted them as friendly instead of trolling!

Yes, I do. I think it's ridiculous that this bill has taken up 7 full pages and literally nothing has been accomplished. It's like indirect filibustering or something.

Defeating bad provisions has been accomplished. It isn't my fault that some bad amendments were offered. The bill didn't improve but at least I could do my part to keep it from getting worse. That's why we have ten Senate seats, so that a variety of opinions can be taken into consideration.

Nay on #4.

It is getting hard to figure out what is going on this bill.  I honestly thought that this was a commonsense bill that would get a lot of support.

I can only speak for myself but I find it wrong to target specific lifestyles for taxation. I don't like tying the government's revenue to a social engineering experiment.

It's actually really easy, since nothing so far has changed in the damn thing. We've been busy voting every single change down. Tongue

Amendment #4 has now failed.



Other amendment:

Insert "transportation" between possession and sale in Section 2 Clause 1.

I accept as friendly, Senators have 24 hours to object.



Can I please motion to move to a final vote so we can just finish this damn bill?

We're getting close, finally. If no one objects by this time tomorrow, I'll move it to a final vote.

I actually think the idea of putting extras on bills, like Napoleon did, brings an interesting part to the game. Considering how much it's done in RL, I wouldn't deem it frivolous, and am surprised it hasn't really been done yet. It also would save slots.

I can sort of see your point, but the reason it's done in RL is because the legislative process grinds out substantial bills so slowly that to get anything accomplished most of the time they have to pack bills with unrelated little things. In Atlasia, usually a bill's passage only takes a few days and then we move on. In RL, it could take months for a bill to be written, pass committees, be debated, amended, wrangled over, passed, and signed.

The amendment has been adopted, and I'm now opening this up for a final vote. (I find it amazing we just spent a ton of time studiously voting on amendment after amendment and the only thing that's changed in the end is one word.)

Please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain:

Why the hell are you voting nay on this? This changes almost no actual law! It, in fact, reduces taxes on most marijuana products, and does exactly what you said we needed to do awhile ago in making marijuana law uniform throughout the country!

Care to demonstrate how it reduces taxes? I would be willing to change my vote.

Alright, I see. I'll vote Aye, though I would prefer no taxes at all.

This is ridiculous. The entire point of this bill was to A) Consolidate marijuana law, and B) Make it uniform throughout the regions. It doesn't result in a net raise in taxes anywhere, and the latter is something you were complaining about us needing during the Mideast's debate over banning marijuana. You were what motivated me to write this in the first place.
