Man lights up cannabis joint in Parliament (http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/2512850/Man-lights-up-cannabis-joint-in-Parliament)

Awesome. :smokin:

A man briefly lit up a cannabis joint in Parliament before being nabbed by security yesterday.

The man lit the joint in the public gallery about 5.30pm during the second reading of the Resource Management (Climate Protection) Amendment Bill.

He was quickly grabbed by security and removed. There was no indication it was any sort of protest, said Parliamentary Services spokesman Warren Inkster.

Apart from breaking drug laws, the man would have broken Parliamentary codes of conduct surrounding behaviour in the chamber, Mr Inkster said.

Parliament's premises were also non-smoking.

The matter had been handed over to police, he said.

Parliamentary police were unavailable for comment and Wellington police were unable to provide any further details.

Can't wait 'til the day such behavior is prosecuted exclusively under the "no smoking" ban...whatta silly dope!

Concider this person to be the first to be able to do so in (public knowledge).

There will be clamp downs. Such is the way of the law.

This person was OBVIOUSLY MAKING A STATEMENT.

How far this goes in the next while....remains to be seen.

Actually there was an american student who wrote a paper on the legalization of cannabis. Just to make a point he lit up at the end of his speech. The crowd went wild, but the administration didn't find it funny, and he was put in jail.

not the first time for this sort of thing, has a retro effect on serious attempts to have the existing law looked at, the mainstream public are not impressed with these episodes, some clown looking to leave his mark.....very much doubt it will go anywhere Ducky,...... :smokin:

Actually there's really no such place as New Zealand. Lala made the whole place up in a fit of demented fantasy.

I am appalled and outraged. Why didn't he share? That's prolly the real reason they arrested him. He bogarted the J and people got jealously outraged that they had to stay boring while this guy over here is getting fun-filled with happy smoke.
