IN SHORT

IT SEEMS that in this State, under a Labor Government, if you are a 
dope-smoking, same-sex couple you are in clover.  The cannabis Bill makes 
me wonder how many kids will turn to drugs as a cheaper alternative to 
alcohol and cigarettes.  After all, the penalty for being high is only a 
"telling off" by the police.  How many more people are going to drive a car 
while under the influence of cannabis? The politicians who bring in these 
laws are usually long gone when the consequences of them are still being 
felt by the community.
