Tonight at 7.30pm on TV3′s 60 minutes, there is an article titled ‘Ganja Granny’. Awesomely enough, it appears to be the headline story, and is advertised on TV3′s Homepage.

She’s 71-years-old and looks like everyone’s perfect grandmother. But she’s been found guilty of drug dealing – masterminding a criminal operation.
Did the police get it right? And if so, what made this otherwise blameless grandmother break the law?
60 Minutes reporter Karen McCarthy investigates.

What a sad story, its sad because she was made a criminal. The current law needs changed it hands all the power to gangs and organised crime. With hundreds of thousands of cannibas users across new zealand prohibition is not working. Its a multi million dollar industry maybe a billion dollar industry and all that money goes to the gangs and criminals and taken away from normal businesses. Personally I am in favour of a license system where each user can buy a license to grow there own for say $250 a year, keeping to strict rules, grown in secure locations with it still being illegal to sell or give the herb to others. If they did this the government would get around 250 million a year in taxs, take a billion dollars a year away from the gangs and allow the police to focus on P, the current system is doing nothing but making the gangs powerful and rich it needs to change. Prohibition does nothing but hand the gangs power. The current law does not control it. We need to change it. If anyone thinks this approach would make it worse your wrong the drug is easily available in the community and a massive portion of the population smoke it. It doesn’t make sense to hand the gangs a billion dollar industry. The gangs in New Zealand grow stronger by the day and the current law is there best friend. A license for a personal grow at home would be a solution. Still leave it illegal exactly the same as now unless the person has a license if they break the rules of the license then the law applys as normal. Take the power away from the gangs and cut off there funds.
