Russell I'm sure the current stats are something like 10-15% of the pop have the predisposition. (sorry no proof)
Statistically speaking - that is gonna have a huge impact on society.
Every mass murderer in NZ since Grey was a dope smoker, but statistically drink drivers are the real killers.
We have a pretty unhealthy drug culture all round that needs addressing.
Going to Maadi Cup - Pizza was contraband for me and my light weight crew.

"...and relatively safe drugs (cannabis, bzp, ecstacy) are pilloried."
Mikaere I thought NORMAL might have left the Greens with Nandor.
Cannabis has serious impacts on mental heath & lets not forget its cancer causing properties.
But the pro-cannabis lobby preffer to blame the victim.
Alcohol & Tabacco are well recorded & researched yet the credible studies into dope are dissmissed in a smokey haze from the pro-cannabis lobby.
At least acknowledge the harm these drugs cause and the risk inherant in them.

He makes a point about the current harm reduction addiction programme.
More could go into attempts that don't mean legally doping addicts untill their organs fail. Managed is sure better than addicts being after an illegal hit, but it is a system that admits defeat about addiction and addicts themselves.
I hope for a better outcome than that.

On the turps after an event I was once told "Don't get in a fight,... but if you do make sure you win."

Rex, I'm sure we've all been subjected to death by powerpoint, but as Mikaere said, facetime is important.
From living in Christchurch & the centre of anything is in Wellington or Auckland, it is really good to meet the boss, et al.

Back in the day when I was a foolish delegate, the real understanding was reached over dinner (paid for by the company) & drinks (paid for by the union).
Thinking back some of the company parties were down right hedonistic, ahh the good times.

In Christchurch's Square this afternoon had an improv theatre group wearing classic greek theatre masks over the eyes and nose. They randomly skipped over park beanches (including the people sitting on them) or otherwise played with those around them, just wonderful whimsy. I'm not sure such behaviour would be tollerated in a Mall, the Cathedral took it in stride. One of them was in a zimmerframe thingy too.
Brightened up my afternoon no end.
