Poppy: Mr. President, my name is Poppy Adams. I believe the UN has no teeth. So I've selected you, as leader of the free world, to receive this communication. And I invite you to begin negotiations on the largest scale hostage situation in history. A few weeks ago, an engineered virus was released, contained in all varieties of my product. Cannabis, cocaine, heroin, opium, ecstasy, and crystal meth. Some of you are already infected. And this is what you can expect in the coming days. [pause] Poppy: After a brief incubation period, victims present with stage one symptoms. [snaps finger as the window behind her reveals an infected Poppy subordinate] Poppy: A blue rash. Next, second stage symptoms appear. [Poppy walks to the next window and snaps her fingers, revealing another infected Poppy subordinate moving his head and arms] Poppy: Mania, as the virus enters the brain. [whispering] Poppy: Very distressing to the victim and those around them. Stage three. [Poppy walks to the third window and snaps her fingers, revealing a paralyzed Poppy subordinate] Poppy: Paralysis. Muscles enter a state of catastrophic seizure. And once the muscles of the thorac become affected, breathing becomes impossible, leading to a very nasty death within 12 hours. [subordinate stops breathing before his eyes and nose bleed out] Poppy: But, I have good news to the millions already affected. It doesn't have to be this way. I have an antidote. [Poppy snaps her fingers on the fourth window, revealing a paralyzed Elton John. A doctor administers the antidote on him, bringing him back to life] Elton John: What have you done to me, you fucking bitch? Poppy: One hundred percent effective and ready to ship out worldwide at a moment's notice. Elton John: [yelling at doctor] Get out of my room! Get out! Poppy: You have my word. I will do this if the following conditions are met. Elton John: Get out of my fucking room! Poppy: First, you agree to end the war on drugs, once and for all. All classes of substance are legalized, paving the way to a new marketplace in which sales are regulated and taxed, as per alcohol. And second, my colleagues and I receive full legal immunity. Meet my terms and I look forward to helping you keep our beloved country great, boosting our ailing economy, and easing spending on law enforcement. Or continue this blinkered, outmoded, and, frankly, disastrous exercise in prohibition, and live with blood on your hands. Save lives. Legalize.
