Legalising marijuana is 'bad policy that sends the wrong message'
Australian Capital Territory Opposition Leader Alistair Coe says the government is sending the “wrong message” by legalising the personal use and cultivation …
It cracks me up. We have liquor shops that give you booze even if you're half dead. We got tobacco shops that sell tobacco and smoking paraphernalia for all children to walk past and be influenced by. But to this fella, pot being legalized is the bad policy…
sky news just gave this guy a platform to speak from, the reporter was a total pussy, oops , I just realised how un pc that was, but it's too funny to delete.
the guy is just wrong, buy the way you can avoid the total disaster of having two male plants by buying feminised seeds on the internet. I am not recommending any company in particular. I know that its pretty reliable. just search for a reputable seed bank and check their mail order policy which should be on their website. It is by the way, not legal. but I don't think they can detect 5 or ten tiny seeds.
lol how dumb are you, Repeat yourself some more lol
The massage is that is going out to all Canberrans and to all of Australia that its ok to do marijuana.. This idiot even thinks this includes young people.. WTF are you talking about THAT'S not the massage at all and the fact that you cant get that is maybe the hole problem.. You dumb shits are ok with selling alcohol and cigarettes what massage are you trying to send with that? Both kill millions of people a year, Cannabis has NEVER killed anyone..
Make shore you mention that in your conversation to the Governor general. you uneducated idiot…
If your child has a comt gene mutation and smokes pot they have signed their death warrant. Ten percent of the population don't know they have this gene mutation. The COMT gene encodes the enzyme responsible for the synaptic metabolism of dopamine. A functional polymorphism of this gene, Val158Met, has been shown to slow the breakdown of dopamine, which potentially increases the risk of psychosis. I have buried two sons because of pot. Please protect your children and get them genetically tested to confirm if they have this gene mutation. Losing a child is the most painful thing you will ever deal with in your life. I want to spare you that pain
Here in Canada, legalization has proven to be the most disgusting thing the politicians could do to the country. 1) It is NOT true that this takes away money from drug dealers. Potheads keep giving money to their favorite drug dealers. Legalization is a huge GIFT to drug dealers because they have a) no fear of getting the billions they have made before legalization seized and b) can keep doing their business with less chances of getting caught. 2) People who are not potheads now have to breath that sh*t in public places and even in their homes, if they have potheads living within anywhere close. Many Canadians cannot sit on their balconies or in their backyards with their children without them breathing drugs. Legalization is just good for drug dealers and for drug addicts, it is a disaster for everyone else.
This does my head in! “Sends the wrong message” what message? That free adults should have the right to enjoy a plant that relaxes you, makes you laugh more, enjoy food and sleep better? What a dangerous message.
Everyone knows that smoking pot frequently has negative effects, unless you're to stoned to realise or addicted to admit it. Problems with child development during and after pregnancy, Trouble with thinking and problem-solving, Increased risk of lung infections & Lung cancer, Altered brain development, Addiction, & In high doses, paranoia and psychosis. These are just some of the symptoms of smoking weed regularly.
Listening to these hypocrites makes me want to puke! I bet you all drink alcohol and you can buy the shit within a mile OF every home in the country but you think it is ok to take my rights away and tell me I can't smoke weed. There is not even a death toll for weed. I will continue to ignore your bullshit laws and do whatever the fuck I want!
These fucking retard bible bashing pollies need to stop with the nanny state bullshit. Alcohol is a FAR FAR worse drag on society than dope will ever be! What would you prefer, a pub full of drunks or full of stoners. One group would be fighting and causing havoc the other will be mellow, relaxed laughing and racing to the buffet for munchies.
Links to Mental health conditions? what ones ? none…. if a person can't smoke (Due a health issue) then don't, it can enhance your moods , so if you are depressed, it can enhance it, if you are a anxious person do not smoke then, that's where all that crap comes from paranoid people, people who smoke something laced, or placebo effect, when they believe all the "Oh man i got lost in the woods, or awww man i zoned our for hours"……. Keep it illegal or legal just don't spread bull crap.
Politicians gots to run their mouths, no brain attached just sound waves. Folks uneducated on a subject should not expound on it. Cannabis isn't dangerous, I have heard no one EVER having ANY problems with Marijuana. The LD50 is so high that death from using it is virtually impossible. Water and oxygen both have a lower LD50 than Cannibis. There is as much evidence of THC helping mental illness than there is it causing any problems. I have used it for 45 years, no problems with it at all. 🖖😚
Addictive, aggressive and violent Alcohol just a normal social event. Non Addictive, pacifistic and meditative Weed needs to be criminalised. Makes logical sense?
Total BS There are people who drink alcohol and people who don't.,The same with cigarettes some do and most don't. There always will be people who do and don't. There is a time and place for everything. People are not just going to go and smoke pot just because it's decrimilized. It's your God giving right. How many people have died because of smoking pot and driving.??!! Then ask the same about alcohol.
Addictive, aggressive and violent Alcohol just a normal social activity. Non Addictive, pacifistic and meditative Weed must be criminalised. Makes sense.?
It's a plant that takes people out of fear and the globalists can't have that. They spend too much on msm fear propaganda to keep people in slave mentality.
I love this guy! He is so right about the bad message it sends to young people. It also can change your genes if you smoke enough of it over time it can also destroy motivation. So, ask this: do you want to change the gene pool of the next generation and.have a class.of nerdowells with no motivation?
Weed makes society as a whole lethargic, not good for a healthy society. if you smoke it, you should never receive any government aid, as you are adding to your own failure. fact: smoking Marijuana from a young age before 25 decreases IQ by 9 points which is a huge standard deviation. a 9 point difference in IQ on a large average places the individual at one lower tax bracket than they should in life. IQ has everything to do with success in life, so, if your IQ is high enough naturally to be upper class, you will fall into upper-middle-class, if your IQ is able to reach lower-middle-class you will fall into the lower class at the poverty rate. this is the effects of Marijuana on society as it lowers IQ. leftist politicians and advocates will completely ignore these studies and give you unlimited positive propaganda about marijuana. if you quit, it takes years to recover lost IQ if any at all. the study I read was quite clear. you do not want your city becoming as dumb as Portland Oregon in the U.S.If you smoke pot you can blame no one for your failures and should receive zero social benefits, and all people receiving should be required to take a drug test, but the left will then classify pot addiction as a disease or disability when it is a personal choice just as the pot advocates say it is and how it is their choice and freedom. more poverty will be created and the left will attempt to bail them out with our tax dollars in social benefits, and right from the start that can not be allowed if they chose to smoke marijuana as your addiction and imminent failure is your choice and not the taxpayer's problem. I studied marijuana and all of its massive negative effects as I smoked it when I was young and quit, as a result, my life improved as I blamed everything in my life on everything else besides my marijuana addiction, the effects it had on me were quite clear and i do not deny it, but those who are addicted live in denial and refuse to blame the substance they are addicted to as the major source of their problems and mental cognitive condition.
Mmmmmm……..? You can now coathanger a living breathing unborn baby in NSW and now grow smoke or consume cannabis…..? Drug testing Newstart recipients and punishing them if found to be positive to smoking cannabis 🤔 A set up if ever I've seen one.
Complete BS, he thinks EVERYONE is stupid and we all need politicians to tell us whats good and bad. As for his statement about evidence thats a complete lie.
the greens are running the labor party they are a vile pile of communism they need to be stopped but the elite love them, where ever they have been they are nothing but trouble, we will never get ahead while they exist.
I'm not saying that if you got people in your neighbourhood like this you should move but if you got paper like this in your neighbourhood you have the freedom to move until he takes away the legislation. I can drive it if I saw this guy I sell my house for a dollar and I know God would drop a gold brick in my lap or some opal or something maybe I'll just go hang out in the cave by an open mind far away from this type of thinking. Carry on.
Let's listen to what he has to say. What's wrong with eating cannabis side issue he changes the issue. And you saying that freedom is wrong your right to choose is wrong the message of freedom to choose is wrong no one's forcing you to do anyting but you have the option in the choice that is your prerogative as a free individual what is this guy talking about could he make his call or any higher what is he a reptile let's just see his tongue sticking out Spirit of Kali. So instead of Freedom he agrees with someone being taxed for his freedom liberals and my country go the other way they want you to smoke so they can make more taxes this guy wants to restrict your behaviour control your movement and thank goodness the parliament didn't listen to him like the storms rotate backwards down there or we rotate backwards up here or whatever this guy up here would be a conservative and everybody be praying for that's about it.

YES! I am in the US and have ranted against pot for 20 years online, writing thousands of comments, tons of blogs, even a BOOK about why we shouldn't smoke pot! And I have CLEARLY shown why it should be illegal forever, with VERY STIFF PENALTIES! It is not because of marijuana itself, but because of the PEOPLE who use and defend it! They are just HORRIBLE! They cuss me out and threaten me and attack my religion, my looks, my sex life, make mean videos, websites and memes about me, make fun of me for collecting dolls, reveal my personal information and put my life in danger, etc. This has gone on for YEARS online! The booze drinkers do that as well, when I speak up against their precious mind-altering drug! And the pot smokers always accuse me of thinking pot is dangerous and deadly. It doesn't even OCCUR to them that I am against pot because it's a mind-altering drug! They can't even see why this is wrong! and they GLOAT to me about how "weed" is becoming more and more legal, as if that makes it okay! They just don't get it!
It cracks me up. We have liquor shops that give you booze even if you're half dead. We got tobacco shops that sell tobacco and smoking paraphernalia for all children to walk past and be influenced by. But to this fella, pot being legalized is the bad policy…

Prohibition on a non-chemical all natural plant Hippocrates that is not democracy
You are out of touch with this one sky news. Usually agree with the things you guys talk about but this one you are way off.
This does my head in! “Sends the wrong message” what message? That free adults should have the right to enjoy a plant that relaxes you, makes you laugh more, enjoy food and sleep better? What a dangerous message.
It will be great for panel beaters
They legalized Cannabis in Canada a year ago..
It turned out to be a non issue.
People who clicked thumbs down must be stoners, hedonist hipsters & drug dealers.

It’s good policy is nothing wrong with it is more things wrong with the alcohol
These fucking retard bible bashing pollies need to stop with the nanny state bullshit. Alcohol is a FAR FAR worse drag on society than dope will ever be!

Booze is way more destructive than weed, this retard is a dinosaur!
It sounds like he is upset that his dogs all sorry police won't be making any money from dope anymore to me.

Love it when politicians lecture about cannibis use – them and journos are the biggest boozers. What message does that send to our kids?

Kid's, if you want any success in life, do not smoke weed. read below.
Clinton “but I didn’t inhale it” lol
If this guy, or anyone who agrees with him goes home to an evening tipple of any kind of alcohol, they are hypocrites!
Legalize alcohol – sends the wrong message – alcoholics can be argumentative and aggressive – lol
Watch how many people move to Canberra now !
It's a plant that takes people out of fear and the globalists can't have that. They spend too much on msm fear propaganda to keep people in slave mentality.
People don't want to use weed for medicinal use they just want to smoke it and get high. For medicinal use you don't smoke it.
Wanting to be straight edge is great. Just don't try to validate your choice by trying to force everybody else to be straight edge too.
So weed is OK but vaping is illegal
One thing that neocons and paleocons can both agree on is their irrational blanket distaste of recreational drug use. SMDH
I love this guy! He is so right about the bad message it sends to young people. It also can change your genes if you smoke enough of it over time it can also destroy motivation.

Legalize fireworks, not weed.
