Cannabis legalisation

[Grahameeboy]

You're not smoking this stuff are you? Because you sound really paranoid and deluded.

No he is just smoking the pipe of life's experiences.......powerful drug, should be made illegal

[Grahameeboy]

Accusations without proof are probably well outside of the new police directive to behave appropriately at all times. A more suitable reply from you would have been: I disagree with you Sir Sixpack.

And no I do not use drugs nor do I judge those that do.

Is that 15% proof 1pack?

[Grahameeboy]

Sixpack, you have gone quiet, you smoking nutrigrain again...??

shouldn't you be at church celebrating the death of a mythical bullshit artist and buggering choir boys gaymeboy?

I'm disappointed, folks.

39 thread views, and only 8 responses to the poll?

It's impossible not to hold a position congruent with one of my poll options. Come on, guys. Feel the love, share the data...

just saw this thread.

trouble with a poll like this is it is NOT absolutely confidential and we all know there are cops lurking on KB.
I wouldn't expect those who do use to answer in the affirmative in NZ given that our prisons are full of victimless criminals already.

Nop, today all the Churches in parish organise a walk up Mt Victoria with a re-enactment of the crucifixion............and we don't have choir boys.....

So you coming to unveiling then?

[idleidolidyll]

Three royal commissions/govt research initiatives have noted that the policing of cannabis causes more harm than the drug itself and all have been ignored by government.

The ALCP has no chance at all.

My brain pays for my petrol. No chance in hell I'll consider to try anything potentially harmful for its functioning. If you want to fsck up yours, that's your own problem as long as you stay off the road and don't threaten to kill me or anybody else. I say, other than that, the only law governing drug use should be Darwin's.

so you don't drink any alcohol (a far worse drug for brain and body, you don't smoke cigarettes and you don't take prescription medicine (the biggest killer drugs on the planet)?

are we gonna crucify someone and then get stoned?

[idleidolidyll]

I don't partake of cannabis anymore, but only because I saw the smoking aspect as a physical health risk which had an adverse effect on my enjoyment of, and ability to perform at MTBing and rugby...

using a vaporiser eliminates the lung issue and 'apparently' the weed looks almost the same when all the goodness is gone: you can sell it on to the street kids and not get busted (since there's no THC left, it's just hemp by then)

Sorry, I must have missed the bit about sucking up to losers.

nah, it's all dry and looks more like sawdust from a fish smoker

it's a much more mellow buzz too cos there is no carbon monoxide poisoning in the hit

you prefer to suck them off?

2. I am opposed to any moves to "legalise" marijuana or any other mind-altering drugs with significant health effects. It's bad for people

I suggest you read the findings of the three royal commissions, it seems you are labouring under a misconception. Weed is way less harmful than the policing of it and it's worst effect is possible lung cancer which can be obviated by use of a vaporiser. Alcohol is by far a worse drug and nicotine is worse again.
The only corollary would be that it should NOT be used by under 18's as at that age, the brain is still developing and CAN be affected permanently. After that age there is almost no long term harm and in NZ the worst long term harms are from imprisonment, social stigma by alcohol using hypocrites, crimes that cannot be reported, suspension of international travel ability, employment implications etc.
