Yeah that ridiculous.
I think anyone distributing should be longer, regular users shorter
Supplying and creating a drug should have a harsher punishment than distribution. Refer to pirating of movies and music.
The people distributing and making the drugs are the source of the issue
With everything, really.
I do agree. Yea drug smugglers, harvesters. Are the ones who are taking advantage of mentally I'll people for drugs
Even lots of petty crime, a lot of people do petty theft and stuff for money for drugs
If someone made a rehabilitation center here, I doubt a lot of homeless people will use it since they are on welfare and stay on the streets
With regards to welfare, the biggest c*ck up NZ made wasn't letting in a bunch of islanders without any background checks. It was giving them welfare so that they didn't have to work.
Both smugglers and makers are the problem but I agree makers aren't doing it because they steal desperate but smugglers, a lot are desperate
Does a lot of new comers not have background checks?
That is very flawed
Smuggling is one of those ultra-high risks, moderate reward things. You only do it if you have literally nowhere else.
@SmokyCopCar marijuana is one of the most common drugs in the US. I believe it should be legal to grow FOR YOURSELF and NOT to distribute. Marijuana is not dangerous it's the chemicals that dealers put in it to get you addicted and to keep buying more.
It may not work it may work idk I ain't a expert
Very true, people who do it are either desperate or very compassionate with the drug smuggling group
That's what's happening in Canberra and the ACT, it looks good so far.
THC is natural in Marijuana and is what causes effects and addiction most of the time
Marijuana is legal here in canada. I dont think it has a whole lot of bad affects but my classmates definitely use it over cigarettes
Cant tell you which is worse but they all vape now so
It used to be this way. I don't remember exact stats but essentially, there are now over 300k people living in the country who don't have to work, and so they don't. It's part of the reason why NZ is so broken now.
And marijuana can still hurt you badly it causes brain and lung damage but other legal things do
Idk how many people live in NZ but I assume it's like 7 percent
Marijuana will shrink your brain and kill brain cells, as well as the same effects smoking nicotine/tobacco has
I mean, cigarettes are an immediate and drastic health danger, not sure on weed and it's effects.
Smoking anything is pretty terrible for your lungs
From what I heard weed isnt as bad if you are over 25
Its like setting yourself on fire lol
But yea smoking anything is bad but it's a lesser of the 2 evils
8 million people on an island? Roughly 26% if that's actually true, I might be exaggerating somewhat.
I don't think natural weed is even as bad as cigarettes because it does not have all that synthetic stuff
“Not as bad” probably because that’s when your brain is fully developed. Still very bad for you though
Weed is mostly a danger if people who are too young and still devoping their brain use it, over 30 its not gonna do that much damage
The idea is the same: people aren't working.
I could be wrong tho
Like alcohol?
Like any brain altering substance, yes
I wont deny that it isnt bad but I'd be surprised if it's worse tha cigars
Woah is the rate actually 26%
Cigarettes directly affect the heart and lungs, which gives the 'high'.
it's also worth mentioning one is a stimulant and another is a depressant
