Its not my job to convince people. I was just trying to raise the topic in a sensible fair manner on this forum. And despite that, the only survey taken so far, recently, clearly shows a YES. |

And who is this “Ray Padilla”? He’s a DEA agent. Pretty logical to assume a DEA agent would be anti-drugs, if they were legal he would be out of a job. |

Fiz the issue is you keep saying you are trying to educate people but you don’t actually produce any evidence for the things you say. Often what you say is totally wrong. Take for example your last sentence quoted. From that you would lead people to believe that there has only been one poll on the referendum and that it showed a Yes. In fact there have been at least 4 I know of and the last two both show NO Are you just trying to deliberate mislead people?

Capt Asparagus wrote: Interesting. Personally I do not care about the pit issue, I think it should definitely be freely available for medicinal uses. However, my vote on the legalisation issue is swayed by the thoughts of a 23yr old I am friends with, who has run a teen suicide prevention programme in northland for the last 5 years....in her experience pot is a MAJOR cause of the mental illnesses that lead to teen depression and suicide. She has seen it again and again and again, and she is vehemently opposed to the legalisation and increased availability of marijuana. She is one of those who has to mop up the mess caused by this drug. She has seen it day in, day out. I would put her personal experiences ahead off all the supposed expert data provided by either side. |
