Policy Rationale
To encourage compliance with common legal restrictions and ensure safety, we prohibit individuals, manufacturers and retailers from purchasing, selling, or trading pharmaceutical drugs, marijuana, and non-medical drugs. We also prohibit the purchase, sale, gifting, exchange, and transfer of firearms, including firearm parts or ammunition, between private individuals and organizations on Hahalolo. This policy is consistent and does not include products that are prohibited/restricted from being sold on Hahalolo under Commerce Policies. In fact, not all of these items are regulated everywhere, each country will have different regulations. However, because of the borderless nature of our community, we try to enforce our policies as consistently as possible.
