I&#039;ve never been arrested in my life, but if you arrested me for a plant I would never forgive you. [&lt;em&gt;Abridged&lt;/em&gt;.]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cop-a-ganda, Pot-a-ganda. Police distort &#039;for self interest&#039; the harms data they themselves commissioned. (BERL REPORT) While pretending to deal in facts and evidence, Police continue to bring themselves into disrepute by failing to see there is something wrong. They don&#039;t have to lie to justify their actions, they only need to just stop and think &quot;where&#039;s the evidence&#039;? Police paid economists to include the considerable costs in enforcing law as a cost/harm that occurs &#039;because of cannabis&#039;  then claim they have reduced cost and harm by actually incurring these costs and harms. This is money-go-round tautology. Because we spent money trying to clean up what wasnt a problem its a problem because we spent money on it.

Deceptive, you bet.
Self interest, without doubt, 
Political, unquestionably.

NZ top cops Harry Quin and Commissioner Holyoake told the National lead Health Select Committee (but only after being asked to tell the truth after Police earlier, under administrative oath, insisted that cannabis created crime) they had no objection to decriminalisation.

Reconcile that Ms Grace! Cannabis is not criminogenic, whereas Prohibition is. [Justice McCart]]]></description>
