when the law says you have sufficient cognitive abilities
Is the law informed by science? It should be. Frontal cortex isnt fully developed till 25 and von economo? neurons who knew about them? I think we all need to go back to school. Anyway my favorite Robert Sapolsky is always a joy to listen and learn from
Take in small doses can cause overload

people should use their own names
I use my own name on facebook and utube( which is a magnet for global crazies) I dont do Stuff. I only use this name here, I was looking to change it but my username seemed to be locked in on my profile.

It could be that a big part of NZ just doesn’t care that much either way.
Thats kind of a problem now with much in the political process as many vote in ignorance, going with whatever implicit bias they have, which will be exploited by the less scrupulous. Is winning more important that coming to a considered view now ?

Steve Baron comes across as a right dick.
The last sentence has some very telling language.“In 1841, Charles Mackay wrote a very famous book that is mandatory reading for anyone in the investment industry.
In 1843 a more famous book was published that had longer lasting consequences, but looking at todays world the author's intent has been turned on its head. The attitudes of the wealthy back then were similar to those being exposed today.
ps Sorry you feel that way William.

You appear to have it all worked out so whats the point. Predicting the future is not my forte. Let us all know when that flood of "budget bud" arrives would ya.
And you said free market I was just quoting you. If its become a euphemism, its because no such thing exists. -

My question is what will happen to the street price of marijuana;
Thats called putting the cart before the horse.
prohibition on home growing (similar to the prohibition on growing tobacco)to keep the tax take high and a free market profitable.
They can always try it. But whos going to enforce it?
And your going back a few years there a pack of cigs was what $3-5, maybe $10?And cigarettes have always been profitable even back then despite a high tax, cause of the tabacco co's world wide distribution. Is that what you mean by "free market"? -

Family First has been bragging that it’s bringing Berenson
The author of a factually incorrect book on a contentious topic is coming to talk, I imagine, to people who are looking to have their bias confirmed. The author's previous contributions to literature consists of spy fiction. I dont know whether to laugh or shake my head in disbelief!
