So this comment has come up often amoung my comments on other peoples blogs and also on my own blog so here are my reasons.

1. if weed was to become legal thus when you buy said weed you would need to pay GST so a $20 tinny is now going to be like $23.50 something like that i dont really get the gst thing..
2. If its legal you’ll get taxed if you grow sell or whatever.
3. If its legal every man and his dog will try to grow it suddenly you wont just have weed you’ll have weed laced with LSD. weed laced with formalyahyde, weed laced with ectasy.. etc…. thats not cool
4. If its legal it’ll probably come under NEW ZEALANDS TAX LAW in which tabbacco and alcohol go up in price by 50cents every 6months so then this $23.50 tinny will be $25 dollars in like 2 years. thats just awesome.
5. If its legal the price of glad resealable bags, glad tinfoil, compost and heat lights will go up in price for obvious reasons.
6. If its legal ALL work places will probably invoke a drug testing programme to make sure their employees are not getting too stoned.
7. If its legal we’ll have more stoned out bums on the streets
8. We all know dabbling with weed leads to harder drugs (except in my case i’ve only ever done weed except that one time when i had SIX teeth out at the SAME TIME and i abused my prescribed drugs so much that i felt like i was high on something and couldnt stop laughing despite the fact that it hurt my jaw incredibly.
9. If its legal doctors will just prescribe it for everything. althuogh on the other hand that should mean it would be subsidised by the government… hmmm…
10. Advertisers would start marketing it towards tweens (those yet not teenagers) and teens. who wants to be surrounded by stoned whiny lil brats? omg imagine a stoned emo! nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
11. Picture george bush…. stoned. its not pretty.
12. picture helen clark (nz priminister) stoned. again.. not pretty infact if we were stoned and she was stoned that would be enough to bring you off the high.
13. you’d need to accessorise.. make sure all your weed paraphanalia matches and co ordinates. if your a girl. or a very metro male.
15. no one actually knows the effects weed has on the brain. ( note how i missed number 14)
16. new zealand has just banned herbal party pills.. although this law doesnt come in to effect until sometime next year i doubt they would legalise weed. Although personally, i’ve seen mates on herbal pills and i’ve seen mates on like the real thing i.e a person on herbal e and a person on real e and the person on real e has a better time and comes off it better so if i was goin to dabble in real drugs then i would do the real thing none of this party pill shit.
17. it would be another thing for the government to blame stuff on ” ohh the children arent doin so well in the NZQA (not sure google it) it must be the weed. not the fact that the exams actually blow.
18. If we legalise weed then we’d be the setting for the new hostel movie *shudders*
19. we’d run out of bic ball point pens. (if you are a user you’ll know what i mean)
20. im out of reasons because im too stoned. how would the police have enough money to buy their donuts and general christmas party foods if they cant fine people for smoking/being in posesion of weed?
21. OOH.. if its legal what will all the great rockers sing about? manson’s “i dont like the drugs but the drugs like me” and “dope show” will be like boring.. thts not cool i LOVE his live version of i dont like the drugs where hes all “i had a dream last night… the sky was made of LSD, and every tree was made of marijauna…” dont ruin it 4 me!!
Dont get me wrong im all for using HEMP as clothing, handcream, writing material etc thats all good coz you cant roll that up and smoke it and it helps the enviroment from this greenhouse thingee or whatever. i just dont want it legalised.
how ever if you have differnt views etc then feel free to share.. this is a free speech blog as long as you agree with what i say so please comment.
