A nation's Narcotics laws are an uncancellable policy that involve the criminalization and legalization of cannabis, LSD, and other drugs.
Although most nations completely restrict all psychoactive substances besides alcohol and tobacco, some nations may opt to decriminalize certain forms of drug use. This pleases Liberals but upsets Parents and can raise Crime rates and have a negative impact on Productivity and Lifespan.
Legalizing anything higher than cannabis can possibly encourage Drug Addiction, especially in nations with rampant Unemployment. However, because selling illegal goods is one of the main ways criminal organizations fund themselves, legalizing narcotics can discourage Organised Crime.
