Should personal cannabis use be legalised? - Reply

Matt from Henderson

My opinion, NO! We as NZers shouldn't need to add cannabis to the drugs lists as is already is. I can understand that if people were in hospital or your needing cannabis for medicinal purposes, that I can understand with but for recreational for every day use, I say NO! Yes I am saying with… View moreMy opinion, NO! We as NZers shouldn't need to add cannabis to the drugs lists as is already is. I can understand that if people were in hospital or your needing cannabis for medicinal purposes, that I can understand with but for recreational for every day use, I say NO! Yes I am saying with my opinion with this one. This is why we are seeing many of our people are dying off or killing themselves earlier because of the chemicals that we are putting into our bodies. Now I did see on the news about the "vaping" topic, that they want people to try to stop them from "vaping" as well. Man this world in way getting out of hand.

I pray and hope that you people make the right decisions about what you do in your lifetime.

Two salmon products are being recalled because they may contain listeria.

The New Zealand King Salmon Co. Ltd has recalled a specific batch of its Southern Ocean brand New Zealand King Salmon Smoked Pieces and Regal Marlborough King Salmon brand Cold Smoked Salmon which may contain Listeria monocytogenes bacteria.

The affected batch is coded with M362D or M362N. The recall did not apply to any other Regal Marlborough or Southern Ocean brand products.

Consumers are being asked to check batch numbers and not consume the affected salmon, which was sold 200g and 500g vacuum packs.

The recall was a precautionary measure after test results for a single sample in the affected batch suggested it contained listeria. Read more here.

Revolutionary leader Nelson Mandela – known by his tribe as Madiba – would have been 100 this year. In celebration of his birthday and his legacy, a compelling new stage show, Madiba the Musical – a Celebration of Nelson Mandela is coming to Auckland.

This international production is interwoven with stories of the fight against apartheid and forbidden love in a troubled land. The musical pays tribute to New Zealand and the dramatic part it played in bringing an end to apartheid.

We have 10 double passes to give away to the show Madiba, the musical, which will take place on January 25 at the Bruce Mason Centre, Takapuna. Like or thank this post to go into the draw.

The new generation of rechargeable hearing aids means the days of having to remember to change the battery before we go out to that important meeting or dinner or having the hearing aid stop half way through the wedding are a thing of the past.

The new rechargeable systems have up to two days’ use in a single charge, a “battery pack” that gives you two extra charges if you happen to be away from home (and the charger) and the battery life is 3-5 years minimum.

Because of our independence at Audiology Associates we have access to all the current manufacturers of Liion technology and help you get the system that suits your needs as well as your budget
