     My Dr recommended cannabis when I went through a mild form of Chemo for Hep C to counteract the side effects of the medication.

     From waking up wanting to spew all day, feeling sick as a dog, no appetite. 1 joint and I was better immediately.

     Getting tired of hearing the arguments. it’s natural, it’s not man made. It has beneficial properties and for medical reasons it SHOULD be available.

     Good on my Dr for giving me the quiet wink.

       There’s probably too much gang money flowing into the National Party via eg: Sky City for this to get much traction.

       there is a question i wd like some journalist to ask key..

       ..that is seeing the large chunks of time he spends in hawaii..a state where cannabis has been medicalised..

       ..could he please detail for us the negative outcomes from such a policy..

       ..as observed by him while staying in his holiday home..?

       ..and if there are none..

       ..why can we not have a similar regime here..?

       ..aside from the logic-fails/costs of prohibition..

       ..it is cruel and inhumane to deny nz’ers who are suffering in many different forms..

       ..the proven salve that is cannabis..

           Yes and no. It’s good to not assume natural = safe. On the other hand, there are distinct differences between using a whole plant vs using single plant constituents (synthetic or extracted). While science is crucial for understanding pharmaceutical drugs, it isn’t the be all and end all of understanding whole plants, and quite often fails (for a whole range of reasons).

           Alcohol is or isn’t a natural substance depending on what you mean by alcohol. If I leave some grapes sitting in a bucket, some alcohol will form naturally. Vodka can’t be considered a natural substance.

               not really. Unless you are comparing that to grapes in a bucket being manufactured into brandy. Which wasn’t the comparison I was making. I was comparing the natural fermentation of sugars to the distillation of such. AFAIK distilled alcohol doesn’t occur in nature.

                   6 October 2014 at 3:41 pm

                   yes it does. Hashish, the product, is just the compressed resin of part of the cannabis plant. The resin exists in the plant and it exists in the hash cake. Of course not all hash is equal (there are different ways of preparing for consumption), so some hash is going to be more natural than others. Myself, I think this is probably a fruitless line of debate, because the line between natural and manufactured is very fuzzy and broad. Some people want black and white, but it doesn’t work like that.

                   However, did you read my comment properly? I’m not sure you understand what I meant yet.

   Details Leak On How Secret Global Treaty Will Force Countries To Further Deregulate Financial Sector

   One of the most worrying features of the TISA proposals is the following:

   The crucial provision is Art X.4, which would apply a standstill to a country’s existing financial measures that are inconsistent with the rules. That means governments must bind their existing levels of liberalization for foreign direct investment on financial services, cross-border provision of financial services and transfers of personnel. The current rules will be the most restrictive of financial services that a government would be allowed to use. They would be encouraged to bind in new liberalization beyond their status quo.

   This is the familiar “ratchet” that we see in copyright law. Here, it means that restrictions on the financial industry can only be reduced, never increased, no matter how badly they screw up the global economy (again). Doubtless proponents of TISA will claim that signatories to the agreement will — of course — retain their sovereignty and ability to take “prudential measures” for the good of their people, just as they have said regarding corporate sovereignty in TPP and TAFTA/TTIP. But as Kelsey points, part of the leaked document shows that is simply not true:

   the article is comprised of two sentences that contradict each other. If a government takes a prudential measure that is inconsistent with the agreement, it cannot do so as a means to avoid its commitments under the agreement! So any prudential measures must be consistent with the other provisions in the agreement.

   This is the TISA that the US is negotiating with the EU but what’s the chances that the TPPA will end up with the same or similar?

   Governments are no longer working for the benefit of countries but for the benefit of corporations and by doing so are causing significant harm.

       6 October 2014 at 10:54 am

       If Slater was just running a blog, then sure, starve him of oxygen. But whaleoil isn’t simply some guy running a blog. It’s the conduit that the National Party and industry lobbyists use to access the greater reach offered by major newspapers and TV/radio outlets.

       Any attempt by who-ever to starve or ignore would be ….ignored. And the operation that both whaleoil and kiwiblog are a part of would continue as effectively as ever.

       I don’t know how to stop major newspapers and TV/radio outlets taking their cues from whaleoil and kiwiblog, but until they are, the NZ public will be fed a diet of shit and bile, and all the consequences of that diet will continue.

   6 October 2014 at 8:38 am

   If one looks at the special votes and makes a big presumption that people overseas etc have not been subject to the negative press and tv/radio attacks on Cunliffe and the left in general that voting patterns are what we would hope they would be.
   I have not seen an accurate breakdown ( has anyone got one?), but I understand Labour was close to 29% Green13+% and NZF 7%.

   • mickysavage 5.1

     6 October 2014 at 8:58 am

     I have been thinking about this. All the way through the narrative from National which the media bought into was that Labour may go further backward when past experience is that Labour actually improves. It let the “Labour is in a real mess” narrative continue even though this particular narrative was based on a mistruth.

     A further insight into how the media is working. Radio New Zealand was particularly bad in running this theme which is disturbing and disappointing for a state owned media outlet.

         Hi Ropata
         Really great that you shared the link. Disappointed by the misnomers re “Twitter and comments on the Herald website” though. (Wondering whether you read the article or just skimmed it?)
         The comments in the article are from PublicAddress not the NZ Herald, and appear as part of an analysis of responses to Dirty Politics, MoT and the election.
         Twitter is noted for its “democratisation of voice” in the context of the bewilderment of mainstream media in discovering it is a level-playing field for public sentiment in which MSM are not insulated from open dissent in the way they often are in their IRL social classes.
         The “optimism” you refer to is outlined in the final section of the article called “A New Vanguard” which isn’t about Twitter or comments, but about the growth of paid and unpaid independent media as a whole.
         Still rapt that you shared the link though. Thanks for that!

   On a somewhat related note, I have been particularly bothered about Stuart Nash’s friendship with Hooton. Hooton from day one trashing DC. And on election night pumping for David Shearer………………….

   Is this a long term strategy for Labour orchestrated by the right? i.e. they know eventually Labour will govern again, so they accept that, but all the while maneuvering
   to make Labour as right as possible?

     ..yes…and yes..

     ..this what this whole cunnliffe hate-campaign has been all about..

     ..and that is why this contest for the labour party leadership is so important..

     ..it will decide if labour is captured by the right..

     ..or if labour truly is a progressive political party..

     ..and of course you can often tell which camp labour mp’s are in..by who supports them..

     ..and as an example..stuart ‘thanks garth mcvicar!’ nash singing the praises of the former head of the most conservative/rightwing union..little..

     ..should set off alarm bells for anyone hoping for a progressive future for the labour party..

     ..and little is another of those union heads who said not a word/murmer in dissent at the demonising/ignoring of the poorest for those nine long years of the clark labour govt..

       …and he is his own man and he genuinely wants to lead a Left Labour

       ..it is a worry that Michelle Boag supports Andrew Little …and Hooton is friends with Nash and Shearer…and who supports Grant Robertson from the right wing

       …in order to know who should be the Labour leader , one only needs to look at their support or not from the right wingers

       6 October 2014 at 11:14 am

       Hoot is a hired propagandist. He does not engage in argument.

       “Propaganda is information that is not impartial and used primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda, often by presenting facts selectively (thus possibly lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or using loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. Propaganda can be used as a form of ideological or commercial warfare.” wiki

       If you or Nash think there is anything to be gained by “listening” to the propaganda that is disseminated by the hirelings of your enemy you are either deluding yourself or you are trying to delude us.

Also they would be considering some swingeing policy on the economy and exchange settings, and inflation, and lifting punitive taxes on savings and secondary tax, ,

         On Radionz the common taters are doing a forensic examination and Matthew says we always said it would be close and if, if, and then it would have come down to a difference of 1500 votes between the two mammoths. Matthew sticking the knife in David Cunliffe, got to say something negative. Mike Williams hears that unions voted for David as most likely winner but thinks that if Little stands well they may think again.

         Mike Williams seemed to be saying we should have troops along with the others in the Middle East. Hooton about how evil the present fighters are. Has any thinker prepared a chart of regimes for evilness, and which ones are the worst?

   Why the Greens should stay Left

   ‘Why the Green Party should not go to the centre’

   By Keith Locke / October 6, 2014

   “A truly green party can’t avoid taking stands to the left of both Labour and National when both those parties are reluctant to bring to heel the main corporate despoilers of our environment…

   Hello out there,is it me or what,having problems posting comments.

   [lprent: Yes. It is hitting a small group like you, weka, and a few others. I’m still trying to find out the common factors – looks like IP ranges from this morning’s catch. At present it looks like one of the automatic processes thinks that your IP range is spam. I’m going to turn off all of those to see if you startgetting through.. ]

   971 attacks is the very reason why David Cunliffe is the only possible person for the job. He is case hardened and was able to keep his humour and cool while putting up with that. Somebody else and it’s just another christian thrown to the lions and who knows how they will handle it.
   Besides DC now has a secret weapon, The Wife, the great Karen, let her loose on those arseholes on the other side and I’d pay good money to see that !.

    NZ ON SALE AT DISCOUNT PRICES !! as dollar drops, more overseas investors want to buy us.

    Sickening, and with no evidence this govt will ever establish a register of ownership.

    Wide open plunder and pillage. Farewell, NZ as we knew it.

      Yep I loved the way Key said the NZ$ should be USD 65 cents AFTER the election, having taken the benefit of all the cheap flatscreens, holidays etc before the election

      A bit of honesty on this for the voters might have been useful. Wait, what am I thinking……..

      Yes, all these idiots brought down the dollar on purpose.

      Look at all the doom and gloom articles out there about the NZD.

      Don’t kid yourself, this was for one purpose.

    Key is reported in the Herald as saying on Newstalk ZB today that “we got about 48% of the vote across the country”.

    Err no John, 47%. Special voters are people too. Is that his first lie of the 3 years?

    Help blip!

    During the recent election campaign, Key said that he feels we are on the cusp of something really big. May be this is it!
