Weed legalised in 2 USA states

Possibly

But it shows a pattern of behavior and mind-set.

There's probably grass smokers that are the equal of single-malt whiskey connosiuers - they can have a quite one with no bother to anybody.

But I don't meet too many of them...

I can introduce you to at least 6 tomorrow, and that is just out of a greater number which I havebeen mates with for the last 10 years or more. One is a very succesful franchise owner / operator, another is a proeminent business manager in one of the biggest building companies in Auckland for example. The rest are your average bloke working their honest 8 til 5, no trouble with the law. All have families, participate in community events, etc

You wouldn't be able to tell that they indulge in a smoke on a leisurely basis.

Except for the paranoid ones that is...

Paranoid or private? Given the stigma attached to the consumption of cannabis, don't you think that people considered pillars of their community do not feel like sharing in what they do behind closed doors, just to be judged for it by people who do not have their perspective on it?

Very much the same as whatever goes on in the bedroom, and is still ever so much a taboo. Peer pressure to be accepted within society pushes people to be guarded on many a personal choice they make, day in, day out.

That stuff is unsafe. For anyone prone to anxiety, or especially someone near a psychotic breakdown, even only a few days use such as I tried, I experienced some difficulties.
For anyone with underlying conditions ie: a nut job, it can be the straw that breaks the camels back.

Fittingly, anyone suffering these products negative effects would do well to partake of real cannabis for a few days/weeks.
The real McCoy is detoxifying and nerve settling. Real cannabis will accelerate reduction of synthetic cannabis behaviours.... and immediately treat and mitigate neurotic behaviours, till anxiety producing residues are finally excreted.

The minister has dragged his feet in this area of concern for kids, still in dairys

Totally agree. I honestly thought the removal of that K2 crap was going to be enforced a lot more stringently.

How many teenagers suffer depressions, mood swings, etc
I hate to think what that stuff would do to them.

It's a sad society we live in where a relatively harmless substance is illegal, yet the legal substitute is far for harmful.

[Grubber]

It's coming, first just for the recidivists...

And the limit will be 250 instead of 400 in the near future, mark my words..

And i will have no problem with that at all thanks!

scum to you, taxed revenue to the netherlands.

Did the introduction of legalised prostitution in NZ ... create a larger tax revenue for the Goverment ... ???

Or fixing some problems ... and creating more ... ???



Making it legal ... wont fix a problem.

Ask any prostitute and I think you'll find that it fixed more problems than it created.

The only reason for prostitution's illegality in the first place was its entanglement with the dubious question of morality and whether it's 'wrong' to exchange sex for money. Regulation rather than criminalisation is a no-brainer. You cannot change human sexual behaviour with legislation.

[SMOKEU]

You cannot change human sexual behaviour with legislation.

Same goes for people wanting to get high.

Only semi-seriously... I know that there are medicinal purposes for pot and all that, and it's the mildest of the harder drugs out there?

haha.. mildest of the harder drugs? Its much better than alcohol or tabacco which are stronger and more toxic.. and much better than any powders or pills the geezers will sell ya. prob even better than caffeine.

But then alcohol is medicinal too...

Every time I feel a cold coming on, I take a good swig of whiskey and go to sleep. My theory is that since alcohol is used to sterilise surgical instruments, and germs primarily travel around our body via our bloodstream as does alcohol, so having elevated levels of alcohol in our bloodstream cleanses us of the filthy bacteria and viruses causing us ill.

I'm guessing you're not a doctor..

Until it is made legal and then you will have the problem with dope.

It will never be better than caffeine.

Are you on the bong already, Boris? That didn't make sense..

[Fast Eddie]

personal preference.. exercise and good sleep so no need to keep myself awake with stimulants. caffeine just makes me all wired up

What I meant to say before I was rudely uninterrupted by work was;

Not a lot of people smoke dope due to the fact that it is illegal so the bad side effects are not that common.
If it is made legal then more will smoke it and the side effects will increase until we are left where we are now with tobacco.

Caffeine has no effect on me until i stop taking it.

[imdying]

Not a lot of people smoke dope

Do you have some sort of one eyed book that this comes from, or are you just making it up as you go along?

[BoristheBiter]

It comes from the KB book of facts.


Actually if was from an interview on ZB last night from a spokesman from some legalize dope group.

he said something about was 13%, ninth in the oecd figures from the UN.

[imdying]

570000 people isn't a lot? That's more people than have a motorcycle license in New Zealand.

[onearmedbandit]

Hope you never try to challenge the law with that argument.

No wonder so many anti weed types think all smokers are stupid

Gee and I thought it was such a water tight argument as well.

(Let me explain it to you. It was a tongue in cheek response to those that ignore other influences and lay the blame solely on weed.)
