Sale of hallucinogenic Christchurch cactus sparks international bidding war
A 7-metre tall drug-producing cactus is pricking interest from worldwide bidders hoping to get their hands on a piece of the towering Christchurch plant.
Owner Jonny Small is hacking off sections of the 30-year-old cactus and shipping them to green-fingered customers as far away as Idaho, Arizona, Texas and Canada.
It was planted in Addington as a seedling more than three decades ago, but its roots had become out-of-control and the land was due to be cleared for development so it "needed to go", Small said.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Clifford Jose, legal counsel to the late Mr. Robert Fitzpatrick, an American consultant formerly with Shell UK Ltd in London. Tragically, Mr. Fitzpatrick passed away in the EgyptAir Flight 990 crash on October 31, 1999.
Despite exhaustive efforts, we have been unable to locate any next of kin or ascertain the existence of a valid will. Consequently, I am reaching out to seek your assistance in this matter.
Please find attached further details for your review.
Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to your response.
Yours sincerely,
Barrister Clifford Jose
