Description: After a brief walk down the street to enjoy the sights and smells of @@CAPITAL@@, you noticed the extensive line of people queueing out the door of the local health clinic. Given it was only five in the morning and the line exceeded even peak demand, a meeting has been called in your office.
Person 1: @@RANDOMNAME@@, your Minister for Health steps forward. ‘That’s what happens when opiates get out of control, @@LEADER@@. Please, I want an effective and efficient healthcare system just as much as you but this drug was not tested properly, it was not scrutinised closely enough, in short, it was a huge failure. What you saw with that health clinic is what I like to call a ‘Conveyor belt of addiction’. A person goes in, gets the opiate prescribed by doctors who are on Big Pharma’s payroll and who have been told the drug works for moderate pain relief, gets addicted and comes back for more. I implore you oh, @@LEADER@@, to put better checks in place to screen these new drugs and require them to undergo proper testing. In the meantime, we need treatment clinics to help addicts! It’s our job to protect people from exploitation after all!’
Person Two: @@RANDOMNAME@@, the CEO of OpiatesOrNothing wearing an obviously expensive suit and a gold chain dangling from one pocket. ‘@@LEADER@@, your Minister for Health knows nothing. My company’s drug is not the problem here and nor is it the problem of companies who stock or supply the drug. It’s the people’s fault for buying it in the first place. It really is that simple. If a person takes a drug, they want to keep taking it. If they don’t take it, well, they don’t want more. They’re grown adults after all, they can look after themselves.’
Person Three: @@RANDOMNAME@@, your Foreign Minister steps into view, grinning. ‘Look, this drug seems very controversial and all that but what if we sold it abroad? Think of the revenue, @@LEADER@@! If we can retain a monopoly on the drug, we’ll have countries begging us to make more of the stuff to calm their addict populations. We can even sell it to that tinpot dictatorship, Maxtopia!’
Person Four: @@RANDOMNAME@@, your Minister for Defence calmly places a map of Maxtopia on the desk, rolling it out. ‘Maxtopia should be no more, I think we can all agree. No one likes them and we can use those natural resources much better ourselves. I have done some thinking and I suggest we dope up the Maxtopian military, then cut off supply. By the time they recover from the severe withdrawal symptoms, Maxtopia will just be another part of @@NATION@@!

Okay, for this second draft, I've tried to move beyond the typical (but necessary) more/less regulations. I hope you enjoy!
