  4. There's no such thing as higher related hospitalisation rates.. There's no reason at all for anyone to ever go to a hospital because they smoked some cannabis, ever. Increased related traffic accident rates can be explained as both, a) misleading because there's no way of knowing the accident is actually correlated to cannabis use, it doesn't have the same effects as alcohol, and B) because when a drug is legalised, self reporting of usage under certain circumstances goes up. Increased mental health related hospitalisations can't be proven to be correlated either. All of this is propaganda based in specious reasoning that can't be proven to be true logically or scientifically empirically.

  5. Aside from all of that, none of it is even a reason to make cannabis illegal. All of those problems are worse with both tobacco and alcohol, and we tax those products accordingly(and regulate their sale for safety also), to make up for their harm to individual users. There's no logical reason for the collective people of New Zealand to tell individuals what they can and can't possess in terms of only moderately or mildly harmful substances. None. In fact, given what we know about many of these substances, many of them should be legalized, so they can be regulated according to safety, and taxed according to health costs, because keeping them illegal and arresting and detaining people for possessing them given what we can prove scientifically about them, would be contrary to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 9.

  6. > It seems obvious that legalising marijuana would have the effect of increasing its use among young people and people in general (as it would be legitimised by the highest authority in the land), This is not true.. People will use at the same rate.. Because people who use it generally don't care that it's illegal.

  7. I can argue the points, I just chose not to. I chose instead to tell you something that you clearly need to be told, as you seem to have no idea.. You are a lunatic. Seek academic assistance.

  8. I don't know why you're defending someone else, but okay.. You also are a lunatic.. If you honestly think there is even a debate on this issue, you need to seek academic assistance.

  9. Well, that's funny, because not only is English my first language, but I was top of my school certificate class in fifth form/year 11.. I simply assumed something. One would have thought that was obvious.. Not only do you need language comprehension lessons, you also need some lessons in critical thinking too. Seek academic assistance.

  10. LOL. Why?.. Because I know scientific information about the harmlessness of cannabis use to the homo sapiens specimen?.. Or because I understand the difference in motor function inhibition between the effects of alcohol use and the effects of cannabis use, as experienced by the homo sapiens?.. Or because I understand that correlation does not equal causation?.. I'm confused as to which of these attributes is similar to "true believers"..
