Dave Nation wrote:While the Free Land of Dave Nation supports the right of the individual within its own borders to consume such substances, it does not feel it is the job of the World Assembly to require other nations to feel the same way. The ability to smoke pot is not so important a right that Dave Nation would want to impose its own view on the issue on another sovereign nation.

You don't just write one and try to shoehorn it in where it might fit if you looked at it sideways in a snowstorm and hacked off its legs. I understand that setting out your draft as a proposal helps you get your ideas in order, but if you want to make a legal proposal, you've going to have to go for a total rewrite.
