Without those one or two big issues to kick you into the top end, you're effectively bumping the ceiling, and that is where the weirdest behavior occurs in other such stats as well. Of course there's no official explanation, but I've wondered sometimes if passing some favorable legislation can accidentally repeal even more favorable legislation you passed previously. Or if good legislation is preventing great legislation from coming to your attention.

And alright, let's say I'm 'bumping the ceiling'. If I bump it enough by only answering drug-related issues does this mean it will eventually result in a sudden breakthrough?
I mean, twist and turn it all you want but it all boils down to the fact that it doesn't make sense for my drug rating to remain unchanged when I just decided to subsidize rec drug use. I realise that the issues are coded in such and such a manner but still, my Pineapple Fondess Rating should be rising according to my decisions.

I'm not convinced sedatives are recreational enough. 284:5 has the charm that the drugs are specifically for achieving religious experiences, a bit different from mind control.

Aculea, it appears your 'bumping the ceiling' reasoning made sense after all.
