All quite simple: Any shop found selling them would be closed for good. Anyone importing it would be receive 50 lashes with a hippo hide whip and be banned from importing anything thereafter (do not imprison them, already too many prisoners) . Imports of any kind would require a permit and be subject to customs duty. The country is losing millions of dollars in customs duty. It is also very unfair to local business when the competition pays no taxes.	mzee (3324)

1373701	2014-04-28 19:36:00	test them on National Mp's they are the ones who legalised them in the first place	gary67 (56)
1373702	2014-04-28 21:26:00	test them on National Mp's they are the ones who legalised them in the first place By your logic, the MPs of every party who's ever held any power in parliament is to blame. Maybe that's not such a bad thing ...	inphinity (7274)
1373703	2014-04-28 21:26:00	Banning legal highs won't solve the problem of people looking to buy and smoke dope. It would have been better if the councils had specified the locations of where shops could sell legal highs. Maybe if they had put them in the shitty industrial parts of town and not in the middle of community shopping malls opposite children's playgrounds, that might have been a good start. If people want to smoke dope they will smoke it, regardless of whether it is illegal to acquire or not. As to testing legal highs on innocent animals, thats just legalised animal cruelty. Test them on humans, if the person has bad side effects from the drug, no big deal, it's all scientific research :thumbs: Just spotted this (www.3news.co.nz) article	Webdevguy (17166)
1373704	2014-04-28 21:49:00	test them on National Mp's they are the ones who legalised them in the first place Can't blame National for that one Gary, with the exception of John Banks every MP in the house voted in favour of that legislation. How about using all list MPs for testing I've yet to see any other use for them no matter which party that owns them.	CliveM (6007)
1373705	2014-04-28 22:46:00	Yes, looking at the entire cross section of Parliament you could be forgiven for thinking they are all part of a continuous testing experiment. So far it looks like insanity is the eventual outcome.	B.M. (505)
1373706	2014-04-28 23:04:00	The problem is these current "legal highs" are quite often significantly worse than just smoking bud. Significantly more addictive with worse side-effects...	Chilling_Silence (9)
1373707	2014-04-28 23:25:00	The problem is these current "legal highs" are quite often significantly worse than just smoking bud. Significantly more addictive with worse side-effects... Exactly, they are much better off smoking marijuana than the synthetic crap. I'm personally pro decriminalisation of marijuana, not that I smoke it.	Alex B (15479)
1373708	2014-04-29 00:23:00	I'm all for the current "Ban them all until proven safe" approach. I personally don't understand the obsession with getting "High", legally or otherwise and don't think any mind altering substance should be legal until someone gets around to testing it, that's crazy as a default legal approach. Maybe they should make weed legal, I don't know if that'd be good or bad but at least we know what it does and it might reduce the criminal activity based around it. Letting people just keep coming up with new ones and selling them is craziness. There's obviously a limit to what you can legislate though, plenty of perfectly legitimate useful substances can be abused to achieve similar effects.	dugimodo (138)
