Should marijuana be legalized for recreational use?

There are already multiple countries for example Canada and Uruguay which have legalized marijuana for recreational use. The legalization of marijuana is a topic which is getting more and more attention in Switzerland and there are many people who want to change the Law and legalize marijuana.

The supporters are saying that the impact on your health is not as serious as other accepted drugs like alcohol or tobacco. To legalize marijuana would reduce the consummation of alcohol and cigarettes what makes your life healthier.

The opponents saying that even though, the impact of marijuana on your health may not be as hard as alcohol or tobacco, marijuana changes the mentality and personality of a person and can often be a gateway to harder drugs. We have not done enough of research to know what the health issues of marijuana really are.

The legalization would open a new market and is an opportunity to make money and more important taxes income for the government. There is still a huge amount of money missing the social insurances and with the new income it would be possible to fill this cab.

We are not prepared for making marijuana legal. The youth would get access to it even earlier and we do not know about the impact on other people. There are going to be more accidence with cars and bikes causing of marijuana.

There is a huge black-market of marijuana in Switzerland. Even though the research may not be enough and we do not really know what is going to happen if we would legalize marijuana in Switzerland it does not really matter because its already reality. Switzerland...

Should marijuana be legalized for recreational use?

There are already multiple countries, for example Canada and Uruguay, which have legalized marijuana for recreational use. It is a topic which is getting more and more attention in Switzerland and there are many people who want to change the our drug laws and legalize marijuana.

The supporters are saying that the impact on your health is not as serious as other legal drugs such as alcohol or tobacco. What's more, they say that to legalize marijuana would reduce the consummation of alcohol and cigarettes, with positive health impacts.

Opponents say that even though the impact of marijuana on your health may not be as severe as alcohol or tobacco, marijuana alters the mentality and personality of a person and can often be a gateway to harder drugs. We have not done enough research to know what the health side effects of marijuana really are.

Some say that legalization would open a new market and is an opportunity for a profitable industry to grow, bringing tax revenue to the government. There are still huge gaps in our social welfare systems and with the new income it would be possible to fill this gap.

But are we prepared for making marijuana legal? Were it to be legalised, young people would get access to it even earlier, and we do not know what the impact of that would be. Moreover, there might be more accidents with cars and bikes due to marijuana use.

There is certainly a huge black-market for marijuana in Switzerland. And even though the research may not be incomplete and we do not really know what will happen if we legalize marijuana here. The fact is, it is already reality. Switzerland...

Taumata whakatangi hangakoauau o tamatea turi pukakapiki maunga horo nuku pokai whenua kitanatahu

Near Porangahau in Hawke’s Bay is an unassuming hill known as "Taumata whakatangi hangakoauau o tamatea turi pukakapiki maunga horo nuku pokai whenua kitanatahu", which translates into English as "the place where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed and swallowed mountains, known as 'landeater’, played his flute to his loved one." Locals simply call it Taumata Hill.

Tamatea was a famous chief and warrior. One day, while travelling through the back of Porangahau, he encountered another tribe and had to fight them to get past. During the fight his brother was killed. Tamatea was so grieved over the loss of his brother that he stayed at the battle site for some days. Each morning he would sit on the hill and play a lament on what is called the koauau or Maori flute.
