Section I. Purpose and Intent

This bill aims to regulate the use of all kinds of drugs, no matter if they were legal before this act. This is a new version of the previous AADLA, which was reworked due to the controversial definition of Soft and Hard drugs. It will overhaul the act in multiple ways, to ensure total support.

Section II. Definitions

• “Legal Drug” shall refer to any substance recognised as being addictive, but were legal prior to this act. These are: Alcohol, Nicotine, and Caffeine, and any drugs in the case of medical use.
• “Soft Drug” shall refer to any previously illegal drugs that will be regulated under this act, and who are amongst the lesser harmful, such as Cannabis, MDMA, LSD, or hallucinogen mushrooms. Any non-listed drug shall be categorised here.
• “Hard Drug” shall refer to any previously illegal drugs that will be regulated under this act, and who are amongst the more harmful, such as Heroin, Cocaine and its variations, Morphine, Methamphetamine, Fentanyl, Nitrous Oxide, or any result from the mix of any of these.
• “Ethanol” shall refer to what is commonly known as alcohol.
• “Medical use” shall refer to the use of Drugs as prescribed by a doctor, contrary to recreational use.
• “DRC” shall refer to the Drugs Regulation Committee as defined in Section III article 3 of this act.
• “kcR” shall refer to 1000 cR (cReddit)
• “Minors” shall refer to any sentient being under 18 years of age
• “NPAWLA” shall refer to the Nicotine Products Advertisement and Warning Label Act

Section III. Provisions

1. Legal Drugs and Soft Drugs may now be considered under the same status legally, which shall be defined hereafter:
   1. the production and sell of aforementioned drug is legal, provided that the producer or seller has been granted a licence by provincial authorities or federal justice
      1. These licences shall be given to any producer/seller respecting hygiene conditions (which shall defined by the health ministry or legislature) and the product matching labelling. Detainers of the licences may be controlled at any time to ensure the health conditions are respected.
      2. Anyone selling these drugs must provide for intoxication tests, to ensure consumers are not exceeding legal maximums. A seller must also not sell to consumers who have reached 90% or more of their legal limit (1 mg/l for non-drivers, half for drivers).
   2. These drugs shall have an additional 5% tax on the sell price. This tax has for goal to fund the DRC.
   3. Advertising for these drugs shall not be allowed in any space legally accessible to minors.
   4. the consumption of these drugs is legal for any citizen of 18 years of age or more
      1. in public spaces, one must not have more than 1 mg/l of blood of alcohol or equivalent substance, or they shall be fined of 1 cR for every 10% above the limit
      2. while driving, one must not have more than 0.5 mg/l of blood of alcohol or equivalent substance, or they shall be fined of 2 cR for every 20% above the limit
      3. in private spaces, the consumption of soft and legal drugs is not bounded by any legal limits, but it is still highly discouraged to consume high quantities of drugs.
   5. Coffee and any substance with less than 5% of pure caffeine or substance containing less than 1% of pure ethanol shall not be affected by these regulations on the sole base of presence of caffeine or alcohol.
   6. Drugs used for medical use shall not be affected by articles 1.2 to 1.4.
2. The ownership and consumption of hard drugs shall hereby be decriminalised, and individuals found with any quantity of hard drugs on them shall be redirected to support services.
   1. The manufacturing and sell of said drugs shall remain illegal and punished by a fine of 10cR/gram of illegal substance produced, and 5cR/gram of illegal substance sold.
3. The Drugs Regulation Committee (DRC), managed under the executive authority charged with health, is hereby created and charged to enforce this act and suggest modifications of it to Parliament.
   1. This committee will hereby be charged to create social services to help victims of addiction to drug(s) to recover from their addiction.
   2. The DRC is also tasked with funding health campaigns against unhealthy behaviours related to drugs, both legal or not. The DRC is also tasked with designing warnings on drugs containers, i. e. alcohol bottles or cigarette packages (as defined by the NPAWLA), and on ads promoting said drugs.
   3. This committee shall be funded by the tax defined in article 1.2., and the fines defined in articles 1.3. and 2.1. The DRC may get a slice of the budget of the Health ministry if it’s judged that the committee is in financial difficulties.
   4. The DRC may submit modifications for approval by parliament, and shall enure that this act stays up to date

Section IV. Enforcement

The Drugs Regulation Committee shall be charged to work alongside the Provincial and Federal police forces to enforce this act.

Section V. Implementation and Oversight

The health ministry is hereby charged to create and maintain the DRC, the interior ministry is hereby charged to sanction violations of this act and redirect drug addicts towards recovery services, and the finance ministry and the Politburo are hereby charged to ensure that the money generated by the taxes and fines defined in this act is correctly directed towards the DRC, and ensure alongside the justice system that no funds allocated to the DRC are mismanaged.

Section VI. Amendments and Repeal

This Act may be amended by a simple majority vote of Parliament. Any previous acts or resolutions in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Section VII. Effective Date

This Act shall take effect immediately upon passage by Parliament and approval by the President.

Section VIII. Financing

*Due to this act both generating and spending money in such a complex way it would annoy the fuck out of me to mix law articles with financial estimates, this section has been specially created to make the understanding of this bill so easy someone in 6***^(th) grade could understand it.

• Revenue from alcohol taxation The 5% tax created in article 1.2. Is estimated to generate somewhere between 750 kcR and 800 kcR. Here is how this estimate was made: According to the Wikipedia page “Alcohol in Malaysia” (a country which is generally seen as the closes economically to the DoR), 2 Billion Malaysian Ringgits are spent annually on Alcohol in Malaysia, or $500 Million (USD). Factoring the fact that the population of the DoR is 80 Millions and the Malaysian Population is 34, this brings the annual DoRian spending on Alcohol to roughly $1’150 Millions. When we apply the 5% tax, this gives us roughly $57.75 Million, or, in cR, 770 kcR which we will base this estimation upon.
• Revenue from tobacco taxation This time, the Wikipedia page that will be used is “Smoking in Malaysia”. According to this page…
  • The minimum price of cigarettes in Malaysia is MYR 17 (4.25 USD) for 20 cigarettes.
  • The average annual consumption of cigarettes per person aged 15 or older is 441.2
• According to the Wikipedia page on the Demographics in Malaysia, roughly 75% of the Malay population is above 15. The quantity of money generated by the 5% tax on tobacco in the DoR is therefore Rtax=price*0,05*average consumption*DoRians over 15=0,06 cR*0,05*(440/20)*(80 000 000*0,75)=0,06*0,05*22*60 000 000=3 960 000 cR. We can therefore conclude that the tax on tobacco generates about 4 Millions cR a year
• Comparison with real-world equivalents The ATF has a budget of roughly 1.5 Billions for a country of 300 Mil. The DRC will have a budget of at least 4.8 million cR, or 360 Millions USD, without counting fines defined in 1.3. and 2.1. This will be largely enough to fund the DRC NOW PLEASE STOP ANNOYING ME WITH FUNDING OR WHATEVER AND PLEASE FREE ME FROM THE CAVE I AM LOCKED IN SINCE 2 WEEKS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD IDGAF ABOUT DRUG CONSUMPTION IN FREKIN MALAYSIA AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Bonjour, my dear friends,

In an effort of transparency and since I love yapping, I will steainspire myself from what Butterscotch used to do, and start to post about my vote on every docket. Enjoy!

1. Groundwater Protections (Act): Yes. Common Sense bill, I don't see any reason to not vote aye
2. Metric System Standardization: Abstain. The definition is quite vague and doesn't explicitly says the SI/ISU (the official unambiguous term to talk about what is commonly referred to as the Metric System. Also, on a more pedantic and petty note, a) the title is in inferior English (it's Standardisation, not Standardization) and b) it's says "Doria" instead of "DoR".
3. I don't want to smell your smoke: Yes. I can't elaborate much more than "I personally find it a good bill".
4. National Media: Abstain. The idea behind the bill is not bad, I just don't really think the ministry of the interior should be tasked with that, but rather the ministry of Culture like the BBC or France Télévision.
5. Gun Rights Amendment Act: Yes. I was originally going to abstain since I thought that restricting gun rights would really piss off the right and might be considered unconstitutional, but upon thorough reading, I think that this is perfectly reasonable limits that should indeed be added on top of the GRA.

That's it for this week! see you next Sunday!

It's the second time the big pan-socialist party dies, to a new, more revolutionary, and more radical party. This is the second DoR Thucydides Trap. The LU! Replaced the RGA, just like the CPD is replacing it as we are talking.

>Ironic

-Sheev Palpatine

Like the first time, I have made myself a promise. I sunk with the RGA hulk. I will once again sink with my second ship. Even though I was never the captain of either ships, I will always stay loyal to them.

>But if you, gentlemen, think that am leaving Berlin for that reason, you are sorely mistaken! I'm more likely to put a bullet through my head.

-Bruno Ganz (as Hitler), The Downfall (2004)

A big point I find very bad, however, is the way it was done. Stella just... disbanded? To compare it with the RGA, it's kinda like if Embarrassed_Owl would've just disbanded the party around the time the LfA joined the Greens. By that point, the question was not if the RGA will fall, but when, which led to a steady process of the subreddit accepting that the RGA had fallen. It was to no one's surprise when I announced the inevitable dissolution the 22^(nd) of December 2025.

>The RGA has fallen, billions must infight
