So when Christians say that cannabis (or tobacco or opium poppies for that matter) should not be grown are they saying God made a mistake?
You could argue the 'mistake' is in the humans. The plants are just fine.

True, but a fair amount of the development was happening regardless. It's that lag in any major infrstructure projects that sees strange things like road-meister Steven Joyce's name recorded opening Auckland's rail stations.

it should have been down at Wynyard
You can understand that at the time, a few years back, given the lack of waterfront progress and desire for an anchor venue. Probably helped make the Viaduct Events Centre worthwhile in the meantime.

I'm not thinking black or white. You could treat it the way people are suggesting for the other smokable crop - make it legal to grow but not to mass-market.
Or we could invest properly in solving the drivers of all addiction, which I'd prefer. Just not naive enough to think that's happening any time soon.

I still think the 'orrible stuff should be legal.
Why? It's the only product that when used exactly as intended kills half of its users.
