    Time for some of you to try some recreational drugs. You seem a bit uptight. It might help change your outlook on life.

    He's not a current All Black and hasn't been for 10 years, not like the one who beat his pregnant wife and got name suppression because it could hurt his career.

    As for my comment about reporting drug taking to the police, if someone was smoking dope in their own home and not hurting anyone but themselves, let them go for it. But having said that, I don't associate with people who smoke dope so I doubt this scenario would come up in my circle of friends. If they were stealing to support a habit or manufacturing (or growing) drugs in their own home, sorry, but I'd be making that call.

    As for Marc Ellis being someone to look up to and emulate, Dave, have you EVER watched his shows? He's an idiot! Okay, he's an entertaining idiot, but he's not exactly someone most people would aspire to be!
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    Some recreational drugs make the uptight moreso.
    I feel sorry for the guy - we were neighbours for a while and both had thunderbirds - his had 4 wheels - but he always stopped and said g'day.

    He's a role model and worked for his media fame - under the spotlight - do the pills when it's all over ffs.

    Truth....no, I haven't watched a whole show. Don't mind looking at her for a minute, but I'm TV intolerant.

    But to be really honest in this case, who gives a shit if he is taking E or not - seems to me that there are far more serious 'crimes' than taking or possessing a couple of Ecstasy tablets.
    My guess is thats what the judge probably thought too. Would be different if there was any suggestion that he was dealing in the stuff.

    Quite right K., I am quite able to turn myself into a right dick on alcamahol - but as you say, at least it's legal.
    However I don't get violent BUT I have seen so much mayhem and violence from people under the influence of alcohol, at times I have thought it should be law to have to pass a test before being allowed to drink booze!

    Still got 'discharge without conviction' because their lawer said 'as one of them was a real-estate agent it could affect his reputation and the other being a musician a conviction could put his overseas travel at risk" WTF??
    Frikkin Jaffas!!!!
    Obviously got too much money if they'll pay $60 for herbal high pills.

    And you KB types though cops got shown favouritism??

    Where was that lawyer when Ellis and co. needed him???

    Wouldn't have been a real estate agent with a name that sounds like bulgyarse would it?

    I love the hypocrisy being shown by the media and some on this forum. 50% of NZ'ers under 30 have smoked dope, we have the highest usage rates of ecstacy and LSD in the world, and yet it's terribly 'shock, horror' when someone gets caught with a few tabs?
    It's time people grew up.
    BTW Zed, ecstacy is not addictive. So it's hard to be a junkie on it. Which, BTW, normally refers to heroin addicts.

    Yeah, now that DOES ring a bell Lou, unfortunately last weeks newspapers are gone so I can't check readily but have a look at Otago Daily Times & Southland Times for last Tuesday/Wednesday Court news (I think).

    Wouldn't surprise me. Does he still socialise with some rent-a babe on his arm, so that people won't think he's gay?

    I'd imagine he'd regulate it to one tab at a time.

    Dunno about the rent-a-babe but he WAS with a musician 'friend' when he went to the party and it was 'their' room that the tabs were located in.
