@Oldie452 One thing I never hear from both sides of the political ledger is how prohibition is criminogenic whereas cannabis is not.... why do the Police put cannabis convictions in the dishonesty clearance rate? So the Police look good.....

@PeterByardDavis David was disgusted with the due process given to all drug policy, not withstanding his long time commitment to Cannabis Law Reform he was also deeply critical of how the medical fraternity, notably the now defunct NZMA's role in the referendums close call.

@HRInews "Using drugs doesn’t make people less worthy of having a roof to live under."

Having used drugs, same same.....
So why do we give a person a conviction for life.....

@MarijuanaMoment I would be far more afraid of Alcohol.

@Murali1196 It's important to consider all perspectives in political discourse. However, there is nothing to learn here.

@NewstalkZB Stranger is the absolute silence as to what becomes of the 'inflation' component in the so-called capital gain. Indeed, what of 'capital loss' surely, the investment risk profile is a zero-sum game when balancing risks and 'tax deductible' loss is treated against taxable profit.

@NZQandA Yep, if only we had more money! What we need is more GDP, more money "churn"

Dear Mr Hipkins, the 2020 referendum sailed so close to the mark, consider the $ 10 billion calculated churn in GDP that would have been a product of the "Yes" vote! (cf: Deloitte/Canada/Cannabis)

@wekatweets If 5m as portrayed was the end of it all.... the next 5m will be achieved faster than the first 5m, for it is not just the volume of ice melt, it is the expansion to less dense water and the consequences of the shift of that mass that will be a stressor on the tectonic plates.

@PLegalization For an authoritive answer, ask media, they are the experts on everything!

@DanaLarsen High Dana, watching with interest. Was in Vancouver last year. Spent three months travelling across Canada. Regrettably had to cut my Vancouver time down due to 'smoke' and the rerouting through the Rockies. Was able however to get the big picture, five years on. ;-)

@EricCrampton Wellingtons water has been going downhill for years....

[MildGreen Initiative @mildgreens]

@RobbCab In many respects, the same could be said for cannabis vs alcohol, and cannabis vs tobacco, but I am not seeing the physicians (ie: NZMA) come up with a 'first do no harm' protocol given the craven outcomes at the feet of a prohibition's chronic and systemic HR legacy.

@julianbuchanan It is also deeply ageist!
Although 'cultist' comes easily. A term I have used many times is captured especially witnessed when the deeply 'morally imbued' (albeit misguided) forgo their, oft sworn professional and ethical obligations....

[MildGreen Initiative @mildgreens]

@PLegalization It has become self evident, prohibitory practices are addictive and lead to acute and chronic delusional psychosis.
Prohibition fixation psychosis is a serious condition requiring treatment that often escapes qualified medical professionals without use of Class A drugs!

[MildGreen Initiative @mildgreens]

@julianbuchanan @tatjna @nzdrug @KnowYourStuffNZ Not this reformer, Drug Courts legitimised judicial silliness and further entrenched failure, predicated largely on addiction being a brain disease.....

@TimFWelch The Gnats would ban bicycles in Amsterdam because people leave them outside....

I doubt any of them know what a policy impact statement or an evidential select committee review even looks like.
