Ground Hog day in New Zealand!

Kia Ora,

Anyone reading my blogs will see some common themes coming through again & again, but as the saying goes "Ground Hog Day."

Part of the reason for writing these blogs has been the frustration with the NZ Security Industry & its lack of dealing with security as it should be, not how it continues to be practised.
Marijuana: Its Effects on Mind & Body (The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Drugs)
Today in the Sunday-Star times was again the argument over marijuana. A recently retired police officer even saying police should be targetting the harder drugs.

Problem is this is generally where it starts.

Not only that in my experience it is the worst of the drugs. This view has been backed up to me by former drug addicts & one who describes himself as a marijuana addict.

It impacts on health, any psychiatric illnesses are likely to be highlighted based on experience as a security guard dealing with psychiatric patients, & probably most of all you see someone bright turn into someone slow witted & un motivated except for crime to buy their next joint.
Marijuana and Its Effects & Alcoholism in the Workplace & Coping with Hyperactive Children - What to Know / What to Do (Three Booklets for the Women's Christian Temperance Union WCTU - Lancaster County, PA)
In fact the Marijuana addict told me that he was given as much marijuana as possible by his dealers who then would get him to steal in return & at that stage his claim was he had never been caught.

But everytime the NZ police carryout a major raid or something goes wrong over an arrest involving Marijuana there is this outcry about over the top police reaction.

One person even claims that the police over reacted when he had a numerous number of plants growing at his place & firearms. The fact that he used firearms in his work is neither here or there.

He was breaking the law & firearms were found. The police only have to point at Napier as too where firearms & marijuana can lead.

They haven't destroyed his life. He did that himself.

But as they say 'Ground Hog Day' as the same arguments are trotted out.
