Last week Simon Bridges was attacking slushies this week Paula Bennett is raging against cannabis gummy bears.

What does the National Party Leadership have against snacks & beverages?

The simple truth is that the National Party are being dicks about the Cannabis referendum.

From their social media activist and alt right soy-boy Hamish Price…

…to gormless backbench mouth breathers like Simeon Brown…

…now it’s Paula Bennett crying gummy wolf…

Cannabis gummy bears could be banned under law reform

National’s drug law reform spokesperson Paula Bennett said cannabis-infused edibles could be “dressed up so they’re appealing to young people and accidental use is of real concern”.

Comparing cannabis-infused lollies to alcohol-soaked lollies, Bennett said: “You’re not going to get absolutely drunk off a couple of vodka-soaked lollies, but you can get absolutely wasted on a few concentrated marijuana [edibles].”

…what self-respecting Westie would wimp out on cannabis reform because of bloody gummy bears?

Bloody gummy bears?

Paula Bennett is willing to continue arresting thousands of NZers every year for cannabis, keep the money with the gangs, would reject a popular vote by the people via referendum all because someone might eat a cannabis gummy bear?

Is this really where the bloody debate is now?

Is this how juvenile and immature the National Party debate is going to be?

There is pathetic, and then there is defending an indefensible and counter productive drug policy because of gummy bears.

    • Excellent.
      This is the thing – cannabis has pleasant effects but there are potential downsides too.
      It’s not a simple or straightforward decision to make, there are pros and cons.
      Bennett is doing us all a grave disservice.

  1. No wonder this country never advances very far when you have a major opposition party as inept as National is.
    They are no different when they are governing the country.
    Their behaviour in the house is excruciating and they have the nerve to call the speaker biased when Mallard is one of the most fairest parliament has had in some time IMHO.
    David Carter let the Key -English government away with just about everything and treated the position as a huge joke.
    Bennett should know better than to trivialize the debate with this stupid nonsense and grow up.

  2. There exists plentful inforation about the uselessness (to health) of smoking cannabis. CBD oil is the way to go. See Rick Simpson’s you tube videos (& lots of other peoples’ videos

  3. well cannabis cant be that damaging pull the benefit made it into parliament and she seems all- right

  4. well cannabis cant be that damaging pull the benefit made it into parliament and she seems all- right

    • No, she’s not all right. She needs to lose a lot more weight. Probably about 100kgs before being on the credit side of the ledger

  5. Read this Humanoids.

    CBD oil. The only thing CBD oil seems ineffective against is stupidity, ignorance, cruelty, power tripping, and high rise power-hair likely hiding alien antenna. The best thing to do re paula bennett is to ignore her ( it?) and hope she ( again…it ? ) simply withers away. She looks like she’s half way there as it is.
    I have to ask? Who? Who the fuck votes for her? To think people do!? That, by and of itself is deeply troubling. To think there are so many ignorant, poorly informed ( I know. Same thing. ) voters out there. That’s one to wake a fellow up at 4.00 am.
    And this is where I saddle up Ol’ Hobby Horse.
    AO/NZ has been hobbled by fools like bennett for more than 120 years. Greedy, grasping narcissists determined to espouse their controlling vehemence and arrogance in the name of themselves, primarily, but also in the pursuit of profit. For themselves, primarily.
    She’s suddenly worried about the children she dropped overboard into poverty and turned WINZ into a war zone in a wealthy country? Aw. Such a sweet wee girl.
    One more thing? Can I ask? How is it that bennett’s still in parliament when Metiria Turei was frogged marched down the plank by her Green comrades ? How the fuck did that work?
    You watched ‘The Wire’ ? Five seasons of 60 episodes back in 2008 Was written by a police reporter and deals with West Baltimore Police and their efforts to stem drug lord crime and street corner dealing.
    I quote:
    “ This series looks at the narcotics scene in Baltimore through the eyes of law enforcers as well as the drug dealers and users. Other facets of the city that are explored in the series are the government and bureaucracy, schools and the news media. The show was created by former police reporter David Simon,”
    Superbly written. Special attention needs to be paid to season three.

  6. “How is it that bennett’s still in parliament when Metiria Turei was frogged marched down the plank by her Green comrades ? How the fuck did that work?”

    My boss once told me it depends wgo you sleep with.

  7. National are NZ Right moderates, hence their silly May Dances with hankerchiefs. Such ineffectual opposition. Trying to out-left often. Out there is a Right that surprised the US Republican Party in 2016. People without principles saying personal needs are reality rather than reality by proof. Summat about our community precludes that at the moment but I’m scared by the disaster of the strongest country in the world, in the worst crisis of our species.

  8. The Nats love a big prison population and will do anything to protect it. Not buying the “Reefer Madness” anymore.
