Party pills BANNED!

[Steam]

Aarg!
I use them and I like them.
Totally legal in shops now, selling BZP will be punishable by EIGHT YEARS IN JAIL when it becomes illegal. It'll be a class C1 drug.

A glass of Nanny-State, anyone?

[jrandom]

Drugs are bad, mm kay?

[Str8 Jacket]

Yep, Jims my hero! Next it'll be alcohol, then ciggies..... Oh hang, they make too much money out of those.... Is no one allowed to make their own decisions anymore?

[MrMelon]

I don't use it myself but it wasn't really doing a lot of harm considering the amount of it being consumed every week around the country, so what's banning it going to achieve? People will probably be more likely to just get real pills (ecstacy) now instead of a cheap pack of herbals for a night out since they're both illegal now but one's much better than the other. I can only see this move boosting gangs' revenues.

I don't have a problem with people who use party pills but I think the right to choose whether or not they take a particular substance should be a personal decision, not the government's. Especially if the effects aren't greatly detrimental to society. Of course there are exceptions, methamphetamine seems like bad news but there are a lot of other drugs out there doing much less harm. All illegal drug use combined probably does less damage than alcohol anyway.

I'd like to request a big ol' glass of "who gives a shit"?

No really... a big glass.

oh well, we're just joining USA, Aussie and most of europe in banning BZP - be easier to get P soon... and probably cheaper...

I do! I dont take the things anymore. Used to but I went a bit crazy on them.... Anyway, I am worried that some people may now start using harder drugs just for that high and sometimes that can lead to addiction. Party pills while nasty things were keeping some younger people of "the harder stuff".

So, should I be buying shares in Lion now, or are party pill users going to head to other illegal highs?

I reckon it'll be interesting to see who gets to say "I told you so" after this one...

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

must have been some farmer up north and decided mmmmm cattle drench

Poos?????????

[scumdog]

Couldn't care less about them, not that many are bought down here any more - booze causes more problems (but even bigger problems when mixed with party-pills).

i have heard of these "party pills", but could someone please explain what they are/do please!


im not taking the piss here

BZP created the industry in NZ over the past 5 years or so. Now soon to become controlled, I believe replacement synthetic substances will come to the fore. As new regulations will require independent testing & a compliance framework it will be expensive. We're likely IMHO, to see a Party Pills equivalent to become even more mainstream. One or two market players with mass marketing like Coke & Pepsi.

I've heard the profit margin for retailers in selling Party Pills is around 50%. This is 5 times higher than Tobacco. Mr patel will not be happy.

I have never tried them and doubt very much that it's the end of the indusrty in N.Z.

[canarlee]

yeah but what are they? legal "e" or summit?

They are crappy pills which keep you wired up all night long and give you lots of 'zing', you can't get to sleep when you want to either.

They also give you the hang-over-and-come-down-from-hell.
