1233393 2011-09-26 05:27:00 I lost a cousin to drugs. She started on 'harmless' marijuana, naturally I am very much against it.

I also have an American friend who was smoking it in the 60's at university/college and beyond. He sees nothing wrong with it. I keep telling him he was lucky that there were no pushers back then. Two of his kids have been in very big trouble through drug use and over there they don't punish people with a slap on the wrist with a wet bus ticket.

Just an aside, when I first read the headlines that stated something like....Legalising Cannabis.... I misread it as legalising cannibalism!!

Because we all don't know someone who is an alcoholic...

If you look at how many casual users there are in NZ you would be very surprised. Not everyone is an addict, those who tend to be addicts are the ones who self-medicate. And were it not for weed, it would be the drink or they would end up 200kg hippos. Some people are just damned.
This isn't heroin or P.

1233398 2011-09-26 05:52:00 They should try to get tobacco smokers to move on to cannabis & tax it the same as tobacco - there would be plenty of money rolling in thanks to the reduced healthcare costs for smokers. Weed smokers also don't smell anywhere near as bad as tobacco smokers :yuck:

Alcohol and gambling both put a lot of money into community groups, but tobacco doesn't put any money back into the community.

Everyone starts with alcohol. Weed is most accessible drug out there, cocaine is almost impossible to get in NZ. P travels in very different circles to weed, they are totally different drugs - P is an upper, MJ is a downer. They only similarities they have is that they are both illegal; were MJ legalised, taxed and government controlled all association with P, Cocaine and whatever else you can think of would end.

A persons actions aren't dictated by weed, if they are of the mentality to try P then that is their decision.I personally can't see any connection.

Some of the problem is the propaganda and lies distributed about drugs by the government and associated agencies, when people become aware of the truth about weed they then reject similar warnings about other harder drugs.

Notice the difference in wording between your posts?

That aside, You stick to your delusions, I'll stick to mine. You have seen so many attractive people that have smoked weed that the numbers would probably melt your brain.
