Good on Don

Kiwiblog reports Don Brash calling for the decriminalisation of cannabis. Good for him. Even the Greens aren't pushing this barrow anymore.

Act leader Don Brash is calling for the decriminalisation of cannabis.

He says prohibition of the drug hasn’t worked, and policing it costs millions of tax payer dollars and clogs up the court system.

He’s told TVNZ’s Q&A programme there are other ways to restrict the use of marijuana.

“It’s estimated thousands of New Zealanders use cannabis on a fairly regular basis, 6,000 are prosecuted every year, a $100million of tax payers money is spent to police this law,” says My Brash.

It's great to see someone bringing this issue up, but too many older voters just don't understand (read fear) Marijuana for this to become a reality.

Hell yeah. So much so that that party president and entire slate of candidates have already refused to follow is lead

Da man.

Yeah right.


If Uncle Hellen had said this, every single one of her cabinet, party members & appartchiks would have fallen in line without a word, whatever they may have thought.

Don "Dr 0.5%" Brash. Da man.
