The police should be ashamed of themselves. They should go after the REAL drug criminals, those who sell Alcohol to children & those total moron parents who allow teenagers or younger kids to take the worlds most deadly party drug, with more than TWO BILLION DEAD throughout history, Alcohol. Time to grow some Brains & get it right, NZ Police!!!

True I think it is time for a law change cannibus is not harmful to society as I see it, The people who abuse the substance and then blame there actions on cannibus are the problem much like an alchoholic blaming the drink there are some people who use cannibus to the extreme and over abuse it these people who have an addictive nature are the ones who give it a bad name, opps I was to wasted and didnt know what I was doing <<< now that is so not true, everything in moderation wheather its drink, food, or cannibus being over weight is worse for your health than smoking a little pot but thats not illegal but still cost the medical profession plenty of dollars per year time we had a re-think on practicality me thinks

Pot should be legal. I am a professional with a professional job and title. I smoke pot on occasion and it does not effect my judgement in the slightest. I would much rather have a session and relax then go to town, hit the night clubs and get on the chop. Alcohol does a lot more damage in so many ways. How can something be illegal that has no recorded deaths related to its use? In the end its all about personal responsibility and using in moderation. The same applies when drinking alcohol, if you know you have had too much but still head to the bar for another, that just shows you are not in control and you are just adding to the problem. All of you people against pot, how many of you have abused alcohol or smoke cigarettes? You are all hypocrites in my eyes.

@Bill I always vote for ALCP since they are the only party whose policy I support. I think the fact that science has shown that our nervous system (along with every other living creature on the planet) has receptors specifically for cannabis is more that enough cause to justify legalising it's use amongst adults. No other plant has been demonised as much as Cannabis has and it's time for that to change.

Half of the population smokes tobbacco and half of the population smoke marijuana, thousands drink alcohol to taken party pills, no differents to Casinos that ripping our people off plus many deaths and beyond, you are waisting our taxpayers money to build more prison over the marijuana Daktory that were trying to negotiate the behavious of the marijuana users and abusers, and in the end the Daktory could have had that chance of bringing in the mafia drug lord into the open.. The government seemed to create more crims employe more staff waisting tax payers money to imprisonment all marijuana users to Daktory and build more Mental Hospital to housing with staffs to treat the mentally ill once they finish their sentence or when release from jail.. We beleived this The Daktory man is trying to save our people our country and maybe our world..RETHINK..

Why isn't the government going after *Class A* hard drugs, like P/crystal meth, with anywhere near as much effort as it is in the context of what is, after all, a *Class C* substance under the Misuse of Drugs Act?

How would the people of New Zealand feel, if the government shut down all those places called PUBS, where they sell that dangerous drug called ALCOHOL? You wouldn't like it, would you? No, you wouldn't. Get a grip, folks, end this reefer madness in New Zealand - give people their civil rights back - tax and regulate cannabis for every adult who wants to use it - and if you don't like it, then don't use it - and if that is the case, don't think that just because you don't like it, that you have the right to stop other adults from using cannabis.

The Drug War is an American import, which in the case of MJ, was based on lies and racism, and is propped up with ignorance.

How much more blatant can they be! the government, ruthlessly reigning control, look at ALCOHOL; an intoxicated person will have lost most use of their cognitive senses, and is 87% more likely to resort to violence as a habitual response. An intoxicated person can be most appropriately compared to a vegetable. In contrast, someone under the influence of smoking marijuana becomes relaxed, extremely docile and cheerful in their manner. The most prevalent of symptoms being that the smoker is highly susceptible to having an OPEN MIND. It is obvious that to support cannabis would result in a freedom far too contrasting from the governments agenda to control their people, and vegetables are much easier to control, and manipulate. I really hope people start opening their eyes and start waking up to what is really going on. and I mean beyond this cannabis issue, the problem is global.
