Weed legalised in 2 USA states

[BoristheBiter]

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

compared to the 3730000 that don't, no.

Some of the best weed I have tried was in mount eden prison.

Punching a policemen and driving whilst disqaulified got me a visit to Waikeria ( I never punched the policeman!)

The pot that was floating around in there really amazed me, just like some thing out of the movies

I stopped smoking when I started racing, and never craved it simple, it was an easy process of just stopping, not like cigarettes

Lots of people I know smoke pot, and some of these people hold very serious employment positions including owning buisnesses that employ a lot of staff and they are doing just fine.

Pot being related to the real bad drugs is just really naieve of our leaders

I vote for a scheme whereas the proper education of said govenrment leaders be carried out immediately, if not sooner

That would just be a waste of more NZ tax payers money mate, I vote that the NZ goverment look at other countries that have taken this seriously and how they have acted towards it, and get there fingers out of there arses

I can go for a couple of years without having a puff and I does not bother me. Other times I may have a smoke everyday. I know a lot of different people who smoke weed, from policemen(one of whom was from the same policing district as scummy) who would like to have a toke and a drink in the hut after a good hunt in fiordland, to doctors who work in A&E who get to see alcohol related fuck ups every weekend. Education is the key IMO. Keep hitting the lazy fuckers who want to sit on their arses all day and collect the bennie, playing bullshit playstation games, selling tinnys and just generally bludging off the rest of society. But leave the otherwise decent members of society alone to grow a little for their own use.

In a similar position here too. Had a couple of years smoking just about every day, generally 2 single lightly sprinkled singles in an evening. Used to know of many professions that did similar back in the UK and know of a few guys that smoke over here, even in front of those who don't ... they don't care as they've seen the affect on the person and realise that it isn't doing them any harm, so why get on their high horse over it.

Big +1 on education. Although I still think that that is the responsibility of the parent, not TV Ads. Leave the lazy fuckers where they are, else they'll be putting in 10% effort in a job that someone else would put 100% into, which is hardly fair to the employer of those who are willing to work. Who knows, they may even open up a special cafe and become "productive citizens/decent members of society"... but we'll never know until we find out. In fact we should grow more than enough and hand it out to those who can't afford it. It'll stop the from thieving etc... to get it ... or isn't that the point

But that there is the biggest problem, same as with alcohol, speed (vehicle not the drug) etc, people are going to fuck it up so everyone else suffers.

[SMOKEU]

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.

What side effects?

But that there is the biggest problem, same as with alcohol, speed (vehicle not the drug) etc, people are going to fuck it up so everyone else suffers.

WTF are you on about?

[skippa1]

You wont change the minds of law abiding (other than smoking cannibis) people that work for a living and enjoy a quiet toke. And thats probably ok. I struggle with the message that it is the lesser of two evils, or harmless and that we should legalise. Weed has a very negative effect on our developing teenagers that have emo tendancies these days. It effectively stalls the physical development of the brain. Kids sieze on the message of their fathers and justify the interuption of their brain development , which many will never recover from. My view is that we are seeing a whole lost generation of kids that have no direction, a lot have fathers that either dont care or are not there to support them. Alcohol is readily and legally available to them, we are trying to make weed legal and readily available to them, P is frying the weaker ones...........what message are we actually giving our kids?

The main group of people really suffering unfairly are the normal cannabis users, of which there are many.
Much of their suffering is at the hands of the state and police, which tell everyone else they are bad people. My parents believed the fucking drongoes and I was vilified amongst family and associates.

Yet all the while my disliked behaviours are mostly due to genetic autism and bad parenting.
I cant change and be one of you, so go fuck yourself.

My fantastic parents, had my mouth full of mercury at age 14 yrs old, TV 2-6hrs a day, and a junk food diet from birth. I was manifesting the symptoms of chronic degenerative dis-ease by 15yrs old....

And then Dad writes me out of the will because I like cannabis..... AND he was a fucking abusive alcoholic dick!

Those who support prohibition are causing a similar or greater amount of suffering as the regular user via the act of using.

If my shithead doctors had steered me right re autism, maybe things would be different.... I reached out for 20 years trying to get answers for my undiagnosed autisms.

Mostly I got bad science, guilt, grief, blame and self loathing. Cunts

Eventually I found out about aspergers via NumberOnes thread on KB rant and rave. Thanks KB. A caring woman biker did what doctors and therapists failed to do. Pricks

Do you want some more suffering examples? I got lots to show you

what are they "really suffering" from?

[scissorhands]

what are they "really suffering" from?

Persecution, I recently had a lawyer not work for me, as well as being unfairly vilified.
Many NZers class stoners as bad people worthy of derision, some idiots probably think it leads to rape, thanks to prohibitionists.

How about the recent media re cannabis and low IQ etc..... dont see any media about TV, junk food or booze!!!!

Then there is the medical fraternity..... meh

Look at this thread. Common garden variety NZers are defending their fairly benign and maybe even sensible choices..... here to gubbermint authorities who keep threatening to kick their ass for breaking the law
