Louis squinted at the flickering screen of his phone, reading over the notification send out by the parliament when there were any law alterations, or in this case another drug added to the infinite ongoing list of drugs.

Stan leaned back on his chair, balancing on only two already creaking legs, about to tip over and barely keeping his balance.

"Anything new?" His voice was muffled by the joint between his lips, exhaling a puff of smoke while he spoke, eyes rimmed red and unfocused.

His phone, as well as Louis', had given off a loud dinging sound as the notification from the parliament came in. All over the country people were likely to receive in a way the news that there was another drug on the list.

With furrowed eyebrows Louis scanned the list again, searching for the bold letters marking the addition. He nodded shortly when he found it, taking another deep drag from his own joint, resting casually between his finger, before he cared to answer.

"Yeah." He nodded slowly, eyes glazed over in a drug induced haze. "They've finally put weed on the list."

With a kind of boredom he could only list when he's been smoking for hours, he blew the smoke out and watched it linger in the room, clouding it like some weird kind of strange smelling fog.

Years ago a wave of drugs had rolled over Britain leaving the Queen and the Parliament desperate for a way to regain prevalence over the cause. Apparently the only solution that came to their mind was putting drugs under the punishment of execution. They were only partly successful tho. Apart from dead bodies as a resolution of an overdose, now dead people with a tiny hole, only noticeable when you took a closer look, right between their eyes littered the streets.
