There is ample publicity regarding the dangers of taking or getting involved with ‘P' or any illicit drugs for that matter. The effect on health, on family, friends and others, not to mention the burden on society.

There's no doubt anyone involved with ‘P' is on a very slippery slope, with far-reaching consequences and a very hard journey back to normality.

To blame the Government, as the people of Gisborne are doing, is just a ‘cop-out'.
On the one hand people wish to live in a ‘free' country, with minimal rules and legislation.
On the other hand the Government is blamed for all sorts of idiotic things these stupid people get involved with and expect to be ‘bailed' out.

People inclined to take ‘P' and other dangerous drugs only have themselves to blame, not the Government or anyone else.
