I am really in two minds about this one, part of me votes yah, and part of me votes nay.

I have know a lot of people who started off just taking pot, and ended up on harder drugs, so is this really a non-addictive drug, it really causes a lack of motivation in most people, and I personally know a person who smokes it regularly, he really is a no-hoper, he does not work, yet he is incredibly intelligent, they say it kills the brain cells, I have yet to see the evidence , especially where he is concerned, he has been doing this for years and is still bright as a button.

Not that I would choose to do this, but I would personally rather travel in a car with someone stoned than drunk, they are much more careful, and take things slow.

There is talk of it being decriminalised in NZ ,I think its only a matter of time, 2kitties prostitution became legal in NZ just recently.

Like the others have said if it becomes legal, then tax it to the hilt.

I do believe it should be available to people with serious illness, who suffer extreme pain, for pain relief, it is known to really help in these situations.

It would put a stop to all the gangs in NZ making huge profits, the drug scene is their main income, and they make big money, and that I am all for, maybe a few more people would not die at the hands of these gangs when a deal goes wrong as well. Just MO for what its worth.
