    ...this is about personal interpretation of life...I couldn't give a fuck how the vote goes...nothing will change other than legislation and tax...

    ...I have a sciatic problem that has me six weeks prostrate and a further two weeks being terrified to move...when it visits...my friend makes oil that when rubbed into my gums improves my situation by 40%...

    ...stoners fuck me off, and always have..

    I think you'll find he means he 100% supports it.

    Smoking it in the privacy of your home will legal. In Public places it will not.

    Growing it for supply will be illegal.

    Riding or driving under the influence of it will be illegal.

    Any past convictions for possession will be removed from your record. But only for amounts OVER the new maximum amounts for personal use.

    If your record has convictions for any drug offenses that are still illegal ... (Possession for supply, Growing for supply, driving under the influence of it ..etc) they will NOT be removed from your record.

    And I think you'll find that by 'decriminalising people' he's talking about turning the current suppliers away from a life of crime.

    Personally I support a change in legislation and this is defiantly a good step. Certainly prefer the smell of dope far better than tobacco and a wee puff around a rally bonfire is better tan waking up with a hang over.

    If they are judged to be "Fit and proper people" ... and licensed ... and taxed ... and sales in Government approved / licensed premises only.

    Those that want some for personal use ... will be allowed to grow their own.

    But the Wiki version of what is proposed here ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_N...bis_referendum

    The final version has not been decided yet. The various parties are still arguing over it.

    I think that is the Governments preference. But collecting the GST from commercial sales will give another boost to the economy.

    Very likely, but it probably wont be cheap from any commercial enterprises.

    I disagree ... dope-heads want their records wiped.

    The basic rules will be there ... but simply smoking it in your own home will not be an offence.

    Turning "The current suppliers" away from a life of crime would be a really big ask.

    Thanks, but I posted the info straight from the government's website earlier.

    Actually, I think if the vote passes, the government's preference is to make as much money from it as they can.

    I suspect that medicinal cannabis will become very affordable.

    Yes, I think that's exactly what TDL was suggesting.

    If he is not aware of ALL the rules and conditions proposed ... and the actual reality of the new laws (not yet written in it's final form yet) he may not.

    Add several Government taxes to any product (like alcohol and Tobacco) and sold commercially ... and it won't be cheap.

    A huge tax income for the country for sure.

    I missed it ... sorry.

    The main plan I think was to remove the current suppliers from the equation. That MAY work. Or not.

    Would you prefer to grow ... or buy it ???

    Time will tell on a lot of the various points.

    I don't think "Home Grown" will be legal to sell. Home grown for personal use only.

    Heat needs to be added though. If you don't add enough heat ... the result is a big sticky mess.
