from the candidates debate in wellington (quote from Salient)

"Some candidates noted that enough electorate votes would mean that they would get their deposit back ($500). "That's nearly an ounce," an MP advised Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party leader Michael Appleby.

A highlight of the evening was Appleby's ability to solve every issue with cannabis. Student debt and child poverty, he said, would be reduced if cannabis was legalised and its price was reduced - allowing students and low-income parents to spend less money or grow their own; the oil crisis can be solved by using hemp-based biofuels to replace petrol; the trade deficit can be reduced with cannabis-tourism and hemp industry exports; crime can be reduced if police resources were freed from policing the "victimless crime" of cannabis use; public services can be improved by tax revenue from legal cannabic sales.

Appleby was, however, unable to stop dead-sea trawling with cannabis."




How wasted were we last night?
Well, I touched Christy Boner's hoo-hoo, were on the hook for two hundred thousand dollars to a transsexual stripper, and my car's gone. I'd say we were pretty wasted.
