Poor guy. Like him or hate him, he and his family don't deserve what P has done to that girl

What about all the legitimate cold/flu sufferers ? Is there a good alternative or will they all be disadvantaged?

Seems like a case of a lowest common denominator with high profile parents.

Should all motorcycles be banned because some 'abuse' them ?

Nobody force fed it to her.

Apparently, most people who get hooked think they can handle it.

So, what the solution to the P problem then?

If you've enough bad luck to be around, or have a loved one around a tweeker, you will probably agree with me when I say: The solution is: A bullet

My brother was one.

How do we solve this "pandemic" then?

I'm not one of his fans, but good on him for using his high profile to raise awareness of this issue - his (and his family's) personal experience of this is not something I'd wish on anyone.

Maybe a little too harsh for a family member, aye... You can't solve the pandemic IMO. So long as scum romes the earth and the world is geared towards human vs human competition

Like Peter Gluckman, Paul Holmes is way off track on this one. Only smalltime kitchens manufacture P from colds and sniffles potions. The major manufacturers and dealers are bring the raw materials and other sundry accoutrements in from China and other places by the container load. I feel another dumb law coming on.

Crack (excuse the pun) down hard on the organised gangs, such as the Headhunters, that are making a fortune manufacturing/importing/distributing the stuff. And I'm not just talking about the Police -- I'm talking about citizens in general.

Snub these exploitive oxygen thieving losers. Headhunters have inveigled themselves into the lifestyles of the Glittering Classes, and are dealing drugs to the best and brightest of Auckland and their children. After an SUV and a holiday home at Tairua, a Headhunter at your social function is the latest symbol of success.

Crime only thrives if society lets it thrive.

There will be deniers on Kiwi Biker about the insidious effects of P and those who deal it. There are many words to describe such folk, all of which are descriptively impolite.

So Holmes admits that banning a cold and flu medicine won't have any effect other than sending a message of intent. Personally, I'd rather send a much higher calibre message of intent. Like 7.62 perhaps?
