&quot; The smoke free act 2004 stopped smoking in restaurants now we are asked to allow it for marajuana smokers.&quot;  Read the Thing again.. and this time&#039; take the time to think about it with your mind, rather than your political filters.. You&#039;ve done nothing but make a bit of an ass of yourself, writing such obvious piffle.. ans then backing it up with nonsensical piffle.. This issue deserves more than silly party political bullshit instead of intelligent discussion..]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://thedailyblog.co.nz/waatea-news-column-for-goodness-sake-legalise-cannabis-now-to-create-jobs/#comment-133598&quot;&gt;Trevor Sennitt&lt;/a&gt;.

Trevor  displays typical right wing behavior .... backing  proven failed ideas and bad  policy ,,,which make things worse.,,,

For instance ,, Judith Collins car crushing Public Relations stunt .. to fix the boy racer problem ,,,, what a joke ,,, why don’t we just crush the Cannabis Trev?

Nationals answer to protecting young New Zealanders from drugs  ,,,, is Mike Sabin and police officers of the Clint Rickards caiber ,,,,,  what a sick rapey joke.

Peter TwatCock  Dunne and the Nats gave us ‘ legal highs’ ,, which went from dodgy to deadly real fast ,,, with well over 100 dead kiwis  and many more disabled ,,, from these dangerous and now black-market chemicals.

Dunne and the Nats with their demented ‘anything but Cannabis’  attitude,,, introduced dangerous substitutes not fit for human consumption ,,,. The customer base for these synthetic industrial chemicals  ,,,,was built and spread from the total bullshit behind ‘Legal highs’ and  ‘Synthetic Cannabis’...

High toxicity man-made  disassociative chemicals, whose powerful ‘drug’ effects were nothing like Cannabis, ,,,were both marketed by sellers ,,and smeared by the anti-marijuana  CDS crowd as ‘Synthetic Cannabis’.

These dangerous chemical concoctions are now sold as ‘Synies’ ...in bullet / Tinny  and baggy sizes.,,, sold by the gangs ,,, or other hard nut dealers ,,, Prohibition creates the only market where violence is part of business ,,,

So Trev ,,,  the  gangs and dealers are already pushing these new alphabet soup drugs*  ,,, most probably in preference to Cannabis ,,,, as the mark up or profit margin on these cheap factory lab  chemicals is HUGE ,,

Gang and Gangster math  : $1 dollar worth of  dirt cheap industrial chemical muck *   ,,, returns over $100 dollars or more for the dealers ,,, ,,,,compared to Cannabis which returns $4-$5 for every single dollar they ‘invest’ in pot.,,,, 

So the gangs are moving on ,,, even if Trev and the Nats are not.

To be honest I’m a bit concerned about Trevors obsessive desire to keep cannabis users as criminals  ,,, It could be a mental health issue with him  ,,,,  a cannabis phobia where  doom and gloom  fantasys have damaged his thought process ,,,,

 So I’ll finish with  some Positive reality ...

&quot;There has been a growing popular movement in the world and United States to legalize marijuana for medicinal and recreational uses, with several nations and u.s states adopting such measures already.

 One motivation for legalization is the economic benefits that can come from the regulated commercial availability of marijuana.
  
 Increased tax revenues, job growth, and investment opportunities all are powerful incentives to push for legalization.&quot;

*Examples in New Zealand include 5F-ADB, AB-FUBINACA, AMB-FUBINACA and JWH-122]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You could have a descent testing kit shipped to your door via Amazon for $50. First of all the regulator has to random testing and the manufacture has to insure quality testing also. 15% is actually at the top end of potency that will put all but snoop dogg on his arse. To get to 20% potency you have to consent rate the THC into oil by stripping out the THC molecule from the flower, the most potent part (stalks won&#039;t have enough THC to work work with) then you&#039;ve got to cook it in special ovens so it doesn&#039;t blow up, just to get that extra 5%. 

It kind of reminds me of those ridiculous American deep pan pizzas because Italian food is traditionally poor food and had to deal with a lot of famine. So when they got to America they were stunned by the amount of food that was available so instead of barley being able to scrap together 3 food items they could create Christmas style celebration food all year round and well Americans ain&#039;t nothing if not flamboyant.

The same thing happened with marijuana when it was legalised in the states thee was this video of this guy with a bucket of marijuana and he jammed it on the end of a leaf blower and lit it. Those Americans are so over the top. We don&#039;t need to be wasteful like them. Iv had a good read of Andrew Littles marijuana bill and it&#039;s pretty good IMO. We are not American, we are Kiwi.]]></description>

Yup doctors are scared the elderly will be eating family made cookies with their cups of tea and smoking home grown by the family  fire 

.... and not having pain and waiting in the waiting rooms for the doctors to dish the pain killer opioid painkillers....and take all their precious savings  ( greedy bastards!)


....the elderly also wont be ending up in uncaring hospital wards to be experimented on and put down by doctors and nurses   with opioids  ( there needs to be an inquiry into opioid BIG PHARMA kickbacks for the medical profession and hospitals)]]></description>

Doctors will be so busy enough dealing with the side effects of smoking marajuana they will be able to afford  to pay for their own holidays. The whole spectrum of mental problems and anxiety  will be high on the list but other medical issues like heart attacks and lung problems. Then there is the safety side both on the road and at work as accidents will increase .]]></description>
