    Make it legal to grow and smoke as much as you want, fuck the government and big business, don’t make it all about money, make it about being free to make your own choices



  9. Y Chai on August 13, 2022 at 4:34 am

    Looking for a proof of harm.

  12. SMOKE HEAD on August 13, 2022 at 4:37 am

    Cannabis will harm?!?! Sounds like a Karen



  13. Boul Shyte on August 13, 2022 at 4:40 am

    Voting yes because the penalties given r dramatic and target minorities



  14. Taylor Hair on August 13, 2022 at 4:44 am

    Why do they make cannabis look so serious? The cartoon of the guy growing it is all dressed in ppe wtf?



  15. Yoga Tonga on August 13, 2022 at 4:46 am

    Why are so many people against it now? Because of hateful propaganda?

    In long run, using more drug recreationally in public would create more negative outcome in society and economy. People need to focus to achieve anything, especially for young ones who needs good guidance and environment to grow physically and mentally healthy. I think we can legalise this drug for the purpose of treatment and permmiitted use. Current govt plans to sell drug to people legally to come out of the pandemic debt



  17. Zoe Dacombe on August 13, 2022 at 4:53 am

    Yes PLS, I approve.



  18. Marsden Murray on August 13, 2022 at 4:57 am

    Half ounce a day!! 😌 allgoods



  19. Craig Dawson on August 13, 2022 at 5:00 am

    what about affordable access for medical use?



  20. demon515 on August 13, 2022 at 5:05 am

    As an American in a state with legal weed I am asking you to vote in favor of legal weed. I’ve been loving the weed I get here! Trust me you won’t regret it!



  21. gringo anon on August 13, 2022 at 5:07 am

    If people want to smoke it they will do it just the same as they always have. At least if it’s legal it will slow them down getting taxes in other areas.



  22. D N on August 13, 2022 at 5:07 am

    Legalise it globally. No reason for such a negative stigma. Plus the amount of jobs and tax revenue. There is absolutely no reason to have it illegal giving people uneccassary criminal records for a plant



  23. Valarmorgolis on August 13, 2022 at 5:07 am

    Vote Yes. #Make CBD Great Again

    Plenty of reports out there to read if at all interested in the facts. The Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study would be a good place to start, but some snippets for you: cannabis use in young people increases chances of mental health issues in later life. Brain continues developing until the age of about 25 years, THC (the active ingredient in cannabis) is fat soluble so stays in the brain longer than alcohol, which is water soluble, stays in the body. I’m all for medicinal cannabis (which is not a part of this referendum) and those over 25 yrs using cannabis in their own space, but plenty of issues around those under 25 yrs using. Another couple of points, makes it tough to get to the 2025 goal of a smoke-free NZ, and don’t expect worth-while increase to mental health funding any time soon.

    2 to 4plants is a joke. If u don’t have green fingers that is.
