Just legalise Marijuana, FFS.

Why do they call it 'synthetic cannabis' - there's nothing cannabis about it.

Sorta like claiming a dog-turd is synthetic chocolate...

I have recently adopted a beagle that was used for lab testing.......she has spent her life in a cage and its taken awhile for her to realise its okay to be just a pet. Why cant drug users that want to use the stuff do the testing....let them fuck up their own brains not an innocent animal!!!

Will alcohol be tested the same way?

[007XX]

I am utterly gobsmacked the government would even consider this.

In no way is there a logically justifiable argument on this. Party pills are not necessary in any way, so why sacrifice and torture animals for them?

And aren't we still the clean, green New Zealand who protects nature? FFS, whoever came up with this gem needs to be shot with a ball of its own shite.

Someone posted on that Stuff page that there'd be plenty of munters in prison that'd likely jump at the chance to be part of any testing. I just can't comprehend why we are testing "recreational chemicals" to a 50% death rate whilst Marijuana is still illegal & hasn't killed a single user, ever.

NZ has some of the laxest legal high regulations, in the world
We are a world leader in this market, supplying Australia and the pacific

Synthetic cannabis is not only about animal suffering, many users rue the day they ever started using synthetic cannabis

A little bit infrequently is usually fine, but it can never substitute real cannabis, which has a zero toxicity rating and medicinal affects

EPIC FAIL Mr MP in regards to the welfare of ordinary NZers and lab animals

Because it costs too much money to test on humans and is ever so slightly dangerous to pump a human being full of the same levels that they're more than happy to pump into animals. You can keep all of the dogs in a lab. Dogs don't have lawyers. Dogs won't argue that the dosage you're giving them is outwith that which they would take for personal use. Dogs won't quit if they feel like they need a break from the substance. On the flip side. Dogs don't work or have to function in society after a weekend of "abusing" themselves. Dogs don't have children to take care of. Dogs have a stable diet. Dogs don't have human minds. Dogs don't have human failings etc... It's a biased trial to day, there ya go, the dogs went mental, drugz iz bad mkay. Human beings. Thick as fuck since ages ago.

Well the results of a rather biased experiment involving a certain banned KB member - results were similar to that when a person with ADHD drinks a monster energy drink, a strong cup of coffee and then asks to ride a ZX1100 (when person usually rides a 250cc).

So unless you want to see normal people behave like they have ADHD on an energy drink high with delusions of grandeur - my advice is to keep the synthetic stuff out of NZ. Maybe just let the Australians test it (Failblog video gold).

Wont go near the stuff myself, smells like someone emptied a bowl of potpourri in a bag.

Pharmaceutical companies that will be allowed under stringent rules to provide us with the "legal Highs" can not compete with weed.

Weed is cheaply grown, harvested and used......no money involved for big business. Unless of course we allow for the seeds to be patented and money can be made that way.

Must have seen this thread, ow? Fuck He's a loser.

For a product that is easily grown and replicated I can't see how patenting its genetics is going to be either enforceable or lucrative.

[puddytat]

So chemically concocted highs are o.k if "proven" safe by those making 'em, yet natural highs aint?
Why?
Well I 'spose you can tax it, without changing the status quo of the illegal highs which contribute gazillions to the black market economy of N.Z......so whats the fucking Govts problem! Fucking hypocritical I reckon.
