View Full Version : Kronic banned

Don't have a problem with this (even though prohibition never really works) however the hypocrisy is outstanding. Kronic banned "because we don't know the long term effects". Well we know the long term effects of alcohol but instead of following the Law Commissions recommendation of raising prices and reducing availability all we have is lip service from Government. The liquor industry tail wagging the dog again.

How else is our community going to become healthier if we don't allow gambling and alcohol trusts that give some of their government-earned money back, through wasting it away?

I personally don't give two shits about that fake weed, the real stuff is even easier to buy. Prohibition indeed. :facepalm:

As they should be. Products like Kronic are about making a dollar out of a legal loophole. One day New Zealand will have proper legislation about dietary supplements and other non-medicinal products so that people who buy them know what's in them. There's no such thing as a "safe" product, including water.

Informed consumer choice should be a principle that underpins all commercial transactions.

I am constantly amazed by people who go to inordinate lengths to avoid MSG and gluten (the numbers of people actually affected by either of these is very low as a percentage of the total population) yet who are more than happy to ingest products that some illiterate, innumerate bogan has whipped up in a basement garage from products that their bogan mates have acquired from motorcycle gangs who have lovingly imported these from China, sight unseen.

It does no harm to most people. It's a naturally occuring product. Indeed there is scant science to suggest that it does any harm to anybody at all. Psychological prejudice is another matter entirely.

Regretably uninformed consumer pressure has forced a lot of Chinese food outlets, wrongly singled out for having a penchant for using this product, to put up signs saying "No MSG used" or similar sentiments, reinforcing the misbelief that MSG is harmful.

Homoeopathy has nothing to do with "medicine". What's sold is distilled water and a lot of Namby Pamby(TM). Any benefit has nothing to do with a scientific remedy involving chemistry. It's about assuaging what goes on in people's heads which, at times, can have a negative affect on their health and wellbeing.

Another really annoying thing about the whole Kronic business are the distributors who claim that they know nothing about what's in the product they think is in their customers' best interests, nor do they care. They accept no responsibility nor liability for their goods, although they're happy to turn a dollar pedalling it. Bogan parasites. They probably pimp their daughters as well.

And during the time Kronic and other similar shit is/was legal I didn't notice a consequantial drop in issues with illegal drugs, things were just as bad with regard to them.

Tell that to the people who seek those alternatives. They believe otherwise.

I have concerns over the number of people who seek alternatives that aren't regulated, or even tested. Particularly when those alternatives are sought out instead of tried and true mainstream western medicine. Or any other form of medicine where they is a process of testing, and auditing methodology.

The truth is, the whole alternative medicine potion scene is fed anecdotal "knowledge" that is passed around by people who are no more in the know than anyone else. No one can cite hard facts about what their "medicines" really do and have in them. I fear more recently, websites such as Facebook enable these natural magic seekers, and gives them the opportunity to share more "knowledge" and band together as a community - as if to say "well we can't be wrong, look how many others believe the same?"

Sure, "natural" and not "man made" might seem like the way to go. It's somewhat instinctual and makes sense. But then so did the world being flat.

They are also fooling themselves - the processing to bottle all that stuff would have a large number of additives and chemicals just to get the pvc lid fast-tightened, with a solvent based glue for the label. And lubricants through the pipe works that fill the bottles. Who knows what really goes in them - they aren't regulated. Might as well piss in a bottle and rub some good old staphylococcus in as well, and sell it as a natural remedy for strep throat.

There is a general practice in Christchurch called Helios, and while their staff are qualified GPs they push that "natural" crap as the way to go. They stock an abundance of little vials they happily hand out (for a price of course). Their immunization information and handbooks are nearly 10 years out of date, and it appears they support such things as the little amber necklaces babies seem to be wearing now. Apparently it helps the immune system by improving their natural energy flow, and eases teething pain. If you read the small print, the packages note you shouldn't leave them on your kid unless you are in the room with them. I've had one pre-school teacher (I don't talk to them often) tell me those necklaces are now banned at the kindy due to kids chipping teeth on them. Or it might have been choking on one of the beads.

I really hate that hippy shit.

Because it has to be prescribed by a Dr. Prescribed medications can rweact with other meds and cause side effects/adverse health effects which a GP has your health records for. The ingredients were what made it so easy for it to be banned so quickly

No actually- i say again, i don't support Kronic, or any other of these dodgy preparations but there are a raft of good reasons to can it more compelling than the 'long term effects'. My point is even when we DO know the long term effects of a drug effective action is not taken. (I would have thought you of all people would have had a guts full of the alcohol fallout). There have been recent studies and a very thought provoking documentary series demonstrating "the war on drugs" is not working, in fact the problem is increasing.Just look at Mexico. Surely it is time for a more innovative approach then merely banning.

True, hence why my earlier comment on alcohol - ban it too for all I care.

After all, Gov't control, education, heavy taxes etc haven't worked with alcohol has it?

So I doubt if all the proposed ideas by those pro-cannabis/Kronic etc would work either.

That's not the issue here. I've done some research and one of the main ingredients is something called JWH - there are a few variants, but it is currently legal in NZ. So if they labelled it, does this mean it would be ok? No. They labelled the party pill stuff, and that got banned too..... but new variants keep emerging.

The real issue is the fear of drugs and the desire to put a blanket ban on anything that people use for recreational use apart from alcohol and ciggarettes.

I'm really interested to see what they do here. And I'm really interested to see if it does affect the many supplements which have evidence of working, but don't have the pharmaceutically backed research required to tick all the boxes to get them into mainstream medicine.

(1) As for Govt control-they have stopped short of instituting the really effective controls ie price and supply. (When this was applied in the UK Drs noticed a drop in liver problems). Discounted selling in supermarkets and dairies and minimum pricing in the too hard basket.


(2) Maybe, but you seem to assume ANY concept other than a blanket ban implies support. With the current ban at least possession will not be an offence thus saving the taxpayer from tedious and unnecessary court proceedings.

I'll answer that with a true strory.

After I knocked my head a couple of years ago I asked a specialist if I should take a particualr supplement. He said "good idea".

This guy is a very senior and well respected quack, and I was intrigued so asked why he hadn't prescribed it previously

His response: I can't prescribe it because it hasn't gone through the trials needed to make it a prescribed medicine. But there is a large body of evidence to support it's effectiveness and it is worth trying.

The reality is that it takes more than research to get a medicine approved. It takes very very costly trials. There is no cost benefit for going through these trials for a naturally occuring supplement, because you cannot patent it.

Am I saying that all supplements and alternatives are good? Far from it. A lot of it is as you say. But some stuff has been shown to work, just not to the uber-expensive standard applied by the pharmaceutical companies. Why haven't they done this? Not because it doesn't work, but because there's no profit.

Because it costs too much money to test on humans and is ever so slightly dangerous to pump a human being full of the same levels that they're more than happy to pump into animals. You can keep all of the dogs in a lab. Dogs don't have lawyers. Dogs won't argue that the dosage you're giving them is outwith that which they would take for personal use. Dogs won't quit if they feel like they need a break from the substance. On the flip side. Dogs don't work or have to function in society after a weekend of "abusing" themselves. Dogs don't have children to take care of. Dogs have a stable diet. Dogs don't have human minds. Dogs don't have human failings etc... It's a biased trial to day, there ya go, the dogs went mental, drugz iz bad mkay. Human beings. Thick as fuck since ages ago.

So unless you want to see normal people behave like they have ADHD on an energy drink high with delusions of grandeur - my advice is to keep the synthetic stuff out of NZ. Maybe just let the Australians test it (Failblog video gold).

Pharmaceutical companies that will be allowed under stringent rules to provide us with the "legal Highs" can not compete with weed.

Weed is cheaply grown, harvested and used......no money involved for big business. Unless of course we allow for the seeds to be patented and money can be made that way.

Sigh. The issue here isn't whether the high is "chemical" or "natural". It's whether they are commercially available for sale. If marijuana was sold at retail as is that shit in tins, then you could fully expect to see its marketing exposed to a bit of rigour.

it is easily grown and replicated if you have access to seeds.

there is quite an interest in gm modified seeds, in seed control and availability on the market. Once the product is legal to buy and grow, there is quite some business to be made with gm modified seeds, royalties on certain strains, re-selling of seeds as the plants are modified in a way that they don't produce seeds etc.

Monsanto comes to mind, as one of the biggest retailers of gm modified seeds and pesticides for their seeds......lots of lawsuits against farmers that have been contaminated by cross pollination for using the Monsanto product without paying royalties etc.

if it were only to taxing the product and tolerating it (no offense if the amount held and/or grown is for own use), and retail only in approved and controlled businesses, it could easily be done. But the larger issue is if the government is happy to leave this little cash crop in the hand of amateurs or if it will give it to big business for milking.

not holding my breath about any changes to the current system yet.

Sigh. The issue here isn't whether the high is "chemical" or "natural". It's whether they are commercially available for sale. If marijuana was sold at retail as is that shit in tins, then you could fully expect to see its marketing exposed to a bit of rigour.

Unless of course one is a Green Party supporter.

Well sorry, its definitely an issue for me, that is, something made from stuff outta 44gallon drums or
something ala naturel.....a bit like the differance between hybridising & G.E meddling.
Surely there enough evidence out there showing that Dak is no worse than many perscription medicines....it just seems so two faced that so many Govts are all for some & not for others.
Yeah I support Green:doobey:
I am also, a card carrying ,lapel pin wearing Green Party member:woohoo:.The best thing they ever did was to drop their crusade on that issue. Like the majority of "smokers" ,it has fark all to do with politics & more to do with the Law,& for me that is the rub.

The wrong people make money from chronic because their in it for profit yet it's ok for doctors who already over prescribe all sorts of dangerous stuff to carry on rockin'.

The right people "the gov'ts mates" make money from booze yet it kills hundreds of people and destroys family and community every year.

The local cops where I live appear to not really care who makes the money from weed because their more than aware of who's who yet do nothing about it "maybe that's because pot heads are easier to deal with than piss heads and the cops know that if the boys can't score the good shit they head straight to the wholesalers instead,,,then it's a fun night for all.

Everybody including it's users know that Tabacco is really bad shit but the gov't is ham strung by it's own dirty dealings with big business so are reluctant to do anything real about it plus they kind of like the taxes they take in from it anyway.

I take pain killing drugs to help live with the nerve damage in my lower back an legs but those very drugs have a proven history of killing the long term user so I regularly substitute with weed which works far better anyway and won't eventually kill me,,,so I'm a criminal but the doctors that prescribe the legal people killing pain killers are not.

Little wonder so many people have so little respect for the laws when their so obviously about money rather than about people.:rolleyes:

Because it has to be prescribed by a Dr. Prescribed medications can rweact with other meds and cause side effects/adverse health effects which a GP has your health records for. The ingredients were what made it so easy for it to be banned so quickly

Early this year my then doctor who had all my medical history prescribed to me a drug that almost killed me "in only two days"

I've since changed doctors and I'd advise anybody not to trust any doctor without a second opinion or some very serious consideration.

I wasn't one of them.

Two weeks ago I spent 5 days at "Stoney bay" at the top of Coromandel fishing from my Kayak and I shared a joint with one of the locals on the Wednesday night.

Then this Thursday I got to work to find I'd just won the monthly random drug test "8 days after.

So now I'm on two weeks stand down pending another test.

I don't have any worries that the next test will be clean but I'm losing two weeks holiday pay out of it.

It's definitely a bad thing if done alot. I was smoking it heaps because i couldn't get much of the good stuff. nearly smoking it everyday and it ruined me, went psychotic for a while and have now been using anti psychotics for the last year and a half.

Have had a few mates with anxiety issues once they used it. k2 black made a mate completely lose reality (forgot he was human) for a hour or so.

whys it still on the shelves? it doesn't make sense to have something really harmful on the shelves when weed is still illegal.

Now I can't do drugs and its a blessing and a curse at the same time.

be careful using it

don't get me started on salvia, one of the most psychoactive drugs around and that's sold at dairys. I'd say that's worse than any other drug if you have a good trip which isn't usually a good trip if you know what i mean. people that do acid, mushies, cactus say they won't touch the stuff it's uncontrollable.

the anti-psychotic meds you take are a powerful drug with serious side effects too.... many herbal alternatives like kava tablets, vervain, lemon balm, cannabis, may be safer in the long run

I did some experimenting and found liver and cleansing herbs/products [milk thistle, dandelion etc] removed the metabolites from my body within a few days, but I only tried the synthetic weed for a few days.
Still, the internet shows no antidotes after hours of reading and googling.
Some bloggers were seeking advice on removing the residues of synthetic weed and its long term residual effect.

I may have pioneered liver cleansing products as a suitable remedy.....
$250 for the specialist fee thanks


Buy a liver cleansing product from a health food store, and do a cleansing diet for 1 week.
For me now, no beers, no junk food, nearly 2 weeks now.....

This. I too got into it in a big way as I lost access to the real thing. I found it quite addictive in that I would smoke more and more and more of it as time went on. Looking back now the volume I ended up smoking was bloody ridiculous.
Ended up with a short stay in the nut house for my troubles (after a couple of days of very strange behaviour), ruined mine and the families Christmas and New Year and now feel like a fucken dickhead for getting myself in that situation in the first place.

Prescription painkillers cause more deaths in the US than heroin and cocaine combined, and more people in the US are "dependent" (read addicted ) on painkillers than heroin, cocaine, sedatives and stimulants combined.

Actually the drug that causes the most overdoses is NZ is plain old paracetamol. Most people don't realise the toxicity to the liver when over dosed/ over used more than the recommended dosage. It's particularly bad in old folks who forget the dosages thy\ey have taken then some well meaning relative comes along and gives them some more

This is true, however, if Cocaine, Heroin,Meth etc where legal (and taxed), then I can unreservedly say that Cocaine, Heroin and Meth would overtake Prescription drugs as the number one killer.

Oh?? And how can you say that?

Meth is certainly easier to get in New Zealand than prescription drugs - I've not had any contact with Cocaine or Heroin for many many years so I have no idea how easy it is to get here ... but you certainly do not need a doctor's prescription to get it ... just good contacts ... and still prescription drugs are the most abused substances

I still smoke a little weed .. but I have family members whose pharmocopia (in their handbags) just shocks me ... painkillers, anti-depressents, ... and some doctors write out prescriptions for more for them on just a phone call .. no face-to-face contact at all .. to me those doctors are just legitimaized drug dealers ...

The point is that the current narrative is, Legal drugs=safe , Illegal drugs=dangerous, when the reality is not as black and white as tptb would have us believe.

You are pedalling a fallacy that anti drug campaingers love to use. Oooh if its made legal everyone will use it.
Are you or anyone you know likely to take up a heroin or meth habit simply because it is made legal? Access to drugs is not the driving force as to why people dont take them.
Also as a legal product users would be more likely to present at medical facilities when things went wrong. I doubt the numbers would change much at all.

Doctors dont usually prescribe painkillers or other drugs for "fun" or recreation, so comparing side effects of other drugs is a bit pointless. My experience of prescription painkillers is that while your in serious pain and take them you dont get any "high" just a reduced sensation of pain, problem is when you keep taking or keep getting given them when your pain levels have dropped. You know its time to stop taking them when you look forward to the next dose.....

I don't smoke weed to get "high" as you say "I smoke it to prevent the pain and spasms from the nerve damage in my legs and lower back.

I use legal pain killers as little as I can because both the types I've been prescribed are known killers of long term users "one which I am.

Weed doesn't cause those issues and the residual effect I smoke it for lasts around 48 hours where as the prescribed stuff not only doesn't do much at all "it's limited effect only lasts about 4-5 hours.

If I was just just into getting high I would be smoking the stuff a hell of a lot more than the once a week single cone that I have been smoking for the last few years.

Medical use and recreational use are two completely different things but people like our Gov't "choose" to ignore that.

There is a cannabis extract that can be prescribed for pain relief and it doesn't have the "high" of real cannabis.

Which is great if you could find a quack that actually would prescribe it and you could then afford the $700 odd that a one month supply currently costs.

Against the $20 a month I have to pay for the real thing it's really a non starter.

I'm not condoning testing on animals because i can say there's been enough human cases of using legal weeds/using to much and the consequences prove it isn't really safe enough for people to use regularly. why subject an animal to extreme amounts until it dies when it's already on the shelves and been used by heaps of people.

Synthetic cannabis ingredient banned
1:04 PM Monday Nov 26, 2012
Associate Health Minister Peter Dunne has ordered a temporary ban on a synthetic cannabis ingredient, he announced today.
The temporary class drug notice was issued following the identification of a substance known as EAM-2201in two K2 products seized by police.
Legal high K2 has been causing concern in the lower South Island, said Mr Dunne.

Thing is EAM-2201 has been off the shelf for a while anyway. The latest batch of products that are causing harm are still available. This latest banning is ineffective, as current harmful blends are still available. Future blends will possibly be even more harmful.

Its crazy that illegal substances from plants are considerably safer

Well if you were prescribed it by a doctor and you needed it then yeah why not. I'd say it would be pretty hard to be prescribed it (wheres a junkie doctor) though I'm not sure what use it would be good for, maybe for weight loss lol.

Better to get medical grade stuff then the stuff cut with all those other nasty chemicals. I'd be way more happy to do pharmaceutical amphetamines (counting mdma) than crack, speed and fake ecstasy on the streets now. Cause who really wants a dose of (street) crack, ketamine, methadrone, reseach chemicals, chalk etc. I wouldn't know how to compare it to k2 (trippy, out of head feeling, anxious) in terms of the high but its probably better. not sure about long term use though. care to enlighten me on the buzz and side effects of medical grade amphets.

Make weed legal and kill the drug black market pretty quickly. Make it less of a gateway drug, because you don't have to goto the mob/druggies that have the higher up stuff they are trying to push.

Only problem I see with that is the a class users won't be able to fund their habbit with weed. so they will either steal or get a job. What will they choose?

PS been off all illegal drugs (and all party pills and kronic type subs) a year now. Still smoke ciggies like a train and drinking bugger all alcohol because liver levels are above recommended levels (strangely they aren't the levels that show up when drinking to much which i was a couple of months ago).

I had a hard lesson in doing to much and the body said no, so I'm looking at a life of being straight cut. Oh well more time to ride motorbikes with a way clearer head and more money to do it. (I don't drink or do drugs when riding)

Dunne, who has headed the Government's crackdown on party pills, initially said animal testing was "unavoidable to prove that products are safe for human beings" and "it is an unpleasant but necessary reality".

But after the story was published, Dunne ruled out the use of LD50 and said no decision to use other testing methods involving animals would be made without a thorough consultation period.

Reading the Herald online this morning I see the main Kronic man is currently on bail in Oz after being arrested on drug charges.

Both synthetic weed and coke.

Good job:nya::oi-grr:

Really interesting and balanced view from Ross Bell (NZ Drug Foundation) on bfm this week.

Worth a listen from either side of the fence.

I'm working on a fake alcohol subsitute that will make you drunk and leave you with no hangover next day. The tests are promising. Currently we are trying to determine if it will give a reading at a checkpoint. Our initial tests indicate that the current test devices do not pick it up.

So now instead of a quick breath screening test at the roadside it's back to the station and all the rigmarole that stoners have to undergo...<_<

Early days (and we tend to get sidetracked re testing. It sort of looses it's importance) but what we have determined is that this substitute can not be detected with current technology.

No. Counter productive and would dilute the products impact on the market.

I'd be more afraid that he'd become T-total and use the stuff in his bike instead, coz by the sounds of things he may never want to touch another drop by the time the next 2 weeks have finished :laugh: (tui)
