Hakomi Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Agreed, that movie was weak. I looked at the back for a good 5 mins before deciding it was most likely going to be shit. Good thing i didn't get it by the sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perceptualChaos Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Haven't seen it - cool idea though even if it did suck. Btw just to be clear - these articles aren't about medicinal marijuana, they're actually considering legalizing weed. If they did do something like that it would substantially increase the chances of us doing the same thing over here so it's pretty good news.

But seriously, what's going on when (a state within) an uber-conservative country such as the States would get moving on this before the land of the bong white cloud?

perceptualChaos Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 I think it's probably just as the articles say - they're fucking broke and know they could make a lot of money off it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakomi Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Yeah, I'm gonna bash you Tom. Ed already did that for you Yeah i agree i reckon its all about the money. The money earned on taxes and also the huge amount of money saved on law suits against people for minor possesion charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeb Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 this would mean the price would drop dramatically right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nato Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 this would mean the price would drop dramatically right? Unlikely, growers would be wanting to get the same sort of money for their crops. Then put on some tax and the other overheads of a legitimate distribution chain and it will more than likely end up costing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perceptualChaos Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 yeah... in Amsterdam for example, weed costs roughly the same as it does over here if you buy it from a shop. Which is pretty expensive by Europe's standards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeb Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 well thats gay.... so essentially a fifty bag for instance would be like $80 or some shit.... as if weed wasnt a ripoff anyway.... nice one terminator.....cock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will still be able to get it through the old channels. There will definitely be a black market for it, tis the nature of the beast. Anyway, no need to worry, I don't see NZ taking steps towards this for a long while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaon Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 what will this mean for the home growers? surely this wont effect people who grow their own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 probably a limit on the amount of plants one person can have which would reduce the price or need to buy it. You would probably need to buy the plants off the govt if they did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
