Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
Caught Green Handed
A surprising number of politicians from all walks of life have admitted to smoking Maxtopian Grass and other soft drugs. Some are calling this a fragrant disregard of the law, while others believe this should spark a major shift in NATIONSNAME’s War on Drugs.
I’ve encountered with many choices
1. “Isn’t this typical?” scoffs columnist John Coulson, “Once again these crooked politicians are getting away with things that would put us regular folk in jail. The government is sending a very mixed message by not acting on this. They decry drugs, yet several of their own are known users. If the government has any sense of credibility they would send these criminals to jail with the rest of the druggies.”
2. “On the contrary; this sends a very clear message,” replies a man with a large beard while smoking an unidentifiable substance, “The latest polls show that the majority of NATIONSNAME’s voters disagree with the government on this issue. More people than ever before are supporting legalization, particularly among youth. It seems like a few of our politicians have finally caught on. Instead of punishing these brave men and women for a victimless crime, let’s do something positive and legalize the stuff already.”
3. “I’ve got an idea!” suggests Doris Weaver, an advisor you thought you’d fired last month, “We can’t alienate our conservative base by legalizing drugs, but we also don’t want to send our political allies to jail. What if all the politicians wrapped up in this scandal set the record straight by saying they didn’t inhale? That’s what we experts call deniable plausibility.”
