If its legal it can be controlled. Do I need to remind people about the Prohibition about 20 years ago?

(If its illegal only criminals will benefit and it will cost us in the long run more to stop the criminals than to control its use)

The criminals, in this case the cannalans, will benefit regardless of it's legality! Supporting legal weed is supporting Cannala! Choose Forenia and vote to ban cannabis!

I vote to legalise cannabis. The criminals will benefit either way,  but if it's legal we can ensure health and safety standards are met to protect the people,  and claim tax on the sale that will provide additional funding for the war and other things.

Such a tax will not equalise with the financial benefit the cannalans will gain while it harms our own people! As for health and safety, avoiding the drug in it's entirety is a far safer option!

We get the tax on the sale, but the profits of the sale go to funding the Cannalan side of the war! Not to mention that weed will make our armies less aggressive and give the Cannalans the advantage! Cannabis is Cannalan, ban it today!

I'm pretty sure the PwC party came before the weed.
Which came first, the weed or the weeds?
Also quotin' this for the new page because it's rather witty.

If concern is cannala profit, why not nationalize?
Only goverment production and sale allowed.

I'm not sure why that's not an option? Or legalize sale but ban import?

It is not an option, but maybe we can add it! Ban imports! Seize the means of production!

My guess is that legalising it will take Cannala out of the picture, as it starts to get grown in Forenia. And we'd get an Expense Credit from the tax.
Conversely, if we ban it, it gets smuggled in (from Cannala) and Cannala gets an Expense Credit.
HOWEVER. If we legalise it, we will strengthen the Peace Party, weakening the government, potentially leading to anti-war uprisings in the future. Which might engage in acts of sabotage, for example blowing up mines- losing an ore for a turn is not worth an expense credit, is my thinking.

All you people were so concerned about becoming authoritarian when we were deciding our allies, but suddenly you want the federal government dictating what you can and can not consume?

Yes. Yes we do. IT was more a concern for democracy everyone had rather than the level of authority of it.

Look, people can do what they want within reason. Advocating for peace with Cannala does not fall under that umbrella. I mean, that's just crazy. So if cannabis leads to pacifism, we ban cannabis.
