Marijuana debate

Currently, Marijuana is illegal, if you are found in possession of the substance then you cna either recieve a $500 fine or face a sentence of up to 14-15 years inprisonment, is you are found growing and supplying it, then the consequences are greater,

I know this because I went to this site

You may be wondering how these are true facts and why I didn't use places like the Wikipedia, well the Wikipedia is a public domain where anyone can add and edit the site where as this site is .govt so it is officiated by the government, An example is for the wikipedia, I could go on and state all these false facts about it and you wouldn't know because it's an unofficial site, with .govt sites it gets cycled and confirmed before being made public.

But with Marijuana potentially being made legal, things will change greatly, The general idea is to make Marijuaa legal for medical purposes, In my opinion I'm mixed on this, I don't want it legal for the sake of Drug abuse, but if you are required a license to obtain it, then i'll be more confident about it.

Should Marijuana be legal in NZ?

The current topic we're learning is regarding to the current political decision to have the people vote on whether to make majijuana legal, Personally I can only see one good outcome from this in, that being that it only being made available as a medical drug to be sold at pharmacies, otherwise there might be outrages about the other remaining drugs, I don't intend on using it myself but I've seen other countries sell it at pharmacies under license for cases such as high stress levels and mental disorders like schizophrenia, it numbs the mind, drowns out the voices, the problem is this is a temporary solution like painkillers, it helps for a bit but you grow a reliance on it, so I think it should be legal, but only if license laws are put in place if it is only used for medicinal reasons and make it illegal to smoke it in public places where kids are around.

What do you think?
