Free Trade of Cannabis Proposition

[Roznevich]

should so be legal

Mr. O'Brien then stands up and punches the representative from the Three Crusader States square in the jaw, knocking him unconscious instantly and asks him, "Shall you have my head now good sir?", in a mockingly Knightly sarcastic tone.

[Subgeniustan]

RECOGNIZING the immense possibilities for trade and economic growth

KNOWING that the ban of a plant is ignorance

CONVINCED of not only the medical, but also industrial benefits of hemp and cannabis

BELIEVING that this could further promote peace and unity between all NationStates

I hereby implore the The World Assembly to adopt this Proposal



ARTICLE 1. RULINGS.
Section 1. Trade Between Nations of hemp or cannabis Should remained untaxed
to promote equal trade between all nations of the world
but the distribution of cannabis to the people can be taxed as much or as less as the
individual government chooses

Section 2. In order to trade cannabis or hemp internationally between WA nations you must obtain the proper license from the WA, and you can only trade your goods to licensed countries if they are apart of the WA. trade between a WA nation and a nonmember nation is unregulated and not protected by this proposition.

ARTICLE 2. ENFORCEMENT.
Section 1.Trade will be overseen by the Free Trade of Cannabis Committee, they make
sure that all nations have gotten the license they need and are following fair trade practices.

I wholeheartedly endorse this proposal (the 4th edit of the OP). Most of the critical comments are relevant only to previous edits of the OP, so those criticisms are all invalid. As for resolutions that have already passed, this one is different and therefore is perfectly valid.

OOC: We have a longstanding tradition of not killing other players ambassadors. Punch them, pelt them with water balloons, throw a pie at them, throw them out the window, fine, but don't kill them.

OOC: or god by knocking them out -_- and also irl if that occured the other guy would break his hand cause hand V metal helm aint that pretty XD ok I now agree with your reasoning but knocking out someone wearing a metal helm by a unprotected fist then somethings off

[The Peoples Socialist Confederacy]

OOC: but my country is categorized as iron fist socialist. *Cricket chirping* ya its a lame joke but it need to be said haha.

So what you could have done was post a counter-RP that started the same ways as theirs but then said that the rest of theirs was only what they'd intended and in fact what actually happened when they tried it was...

We disagree with this act on a number of levels:

1. National Sovereignty - Many nations have their laws banning cannabis after careful consideration, or for important cultural reasons (such as nations with religious governance). It is therefore ignorant to assume that "that the ban of a plant is ignorance".
2."I hereby implore" is thoroughly unnecessary. Replace with "The General Assembly Hereby Enacts the Following:"
3. International trade tariffs are not called "taxes", and, to my knowledge, are not subject to WA legislation at this time.
4. Article 2, Section 2, is poorly worded. Also, if the idea is to promote free trade, it is contradictory to then require WA approval for the said trade on a nation-by-nation basis.
5. Creating a committee to specifically deal with this one issue is pointless. Why not create a generalized free-trade committee, or refer to one that may already exist?
