This referendum is non-binding anyway so, not much chance . Just saying.[/QUOTE]
It's just a pre-election distraction and as useful as the Key flag referendum - actually the Key one was even more useless waste of time and money.

You should probably look up the definition of the word 'referendum'.
A referendum is a vote.
referendum
/ˌrɛfəˈrɛndəm/
noun
noun: referendum; plural noun: referenda; plural noun: referendums
a general vote by the electorate on a single political question which has been referred to them for a direct decision.
No, not at all. If any stupidity is attributable it's to your assumption that if it were to be legalised people would be smoking it before or during work. There is no basis for that assumption other than to draw on the fact that maybe a few already do despite its current legal status. I'll give you that. But only if you give me that people have caused workplace accidents under the influence of alcohol, legally obtained prescription pills etc.
I don't think you understand what I'm saying. Why assume that all of a sudden people are going to be smoking weed at work or before just because it's legalised? You had a point when you said ' When was last time you went to work drunk ? Or, one of your workmates turned up drunk?', most people don't (some idiots do however). So why the different expectation on marijuana consumption?
I remember the day, was my first time at the drags. Managed a 10.6 at 133mph so was chuffed with that.
I personally would expect a spike as it's "new & exciting" & people are coming to terms with what you can/can't do etc but then I expect it to drop back to booze type levels maybee slightly above given the ease of carry/use but not substantial as I expect like booze most will know when to partake.

The key word there is "Start" ... and how many NZ wide are operating "Machinery" now ... Drunk (or 'Under the influence") .. ??
The time of the day matters little. As the saying goes ... "Some results (of alcohol and/or drug use) may vary" ...
And if you think it's not happening now ... your world must be very small ...

I have seen such/similar "Accidents" occur ... and I also have seen drug/alcohol use before/during a work day ... with NO incidents.
My current workplace is in an area with plenty of natural hazards. Somebody with a drug or alcohol impairment might simply endanger my life ... with just a simple mistake in judgement (as if they don't already) ...
Some days the weather is my biggest worry.
Attached are a few images of my workplace.
