***A push to legalise all drugs in New Zealand hasn't come from stoners and the strung out - it's backed by 155 academics and experts who say the current regime doesn't work ***

National will never do anything like this. Even weed. A total non-starter.

Yes, but don't let the National party be the limit of thinking about what's possible. They won't be in govt forever

It is very rare to only get one term. So we're looking at another 6 years, minimum.

It's going to feel like forever 😉

Even with a labour led government doubt much will be done, I was really hopefully for labour to actually do something, not just about drugs but also about housing and a land tax. They did really well through COVID but apart from that it was a lot of promises and a lot of not doing anything. Kinda odd they chose 3 waters as their thing though, considering how unpopular it was with some people.
