THAT CANNABIS DEBATE....

Robert from Bryndwr

It'll be interesting to see how that referendum pans out on the subject of Cannabis. I am in two minds on the topic; firstly I am going to vote for it but, secondly, I have reservations about the probability of a capitalistic and social incremental creep where big money and big business will, over time, eventually, buy their way with politicians, their political Parties' funding and government. With the ever growing familiarity of the presence of cannabis in our daily lives, they will want to be permitted to advertise their big brand name cannabis product on the jerseys of the All Blacks and on the backs of the Christchurch red buses..... Advertising to young people who will be sold on the idea that they need to get stoned to be socially acceptable; a necessary social lubricant just like alcohol advertising in New Zealand...

DANGER!! DANGER!! DANGER!!
I am a rabid post-grad Political Science student and political proctologist (at UC) and I refuse to take my medication!!! (LOL)

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I dance in the sky with green and gold, a spectacle few are lucky to behold; I’m best seen in the south, a celestial sight—what am I, lighting up the New Zealand night?
