Cannabis amnesty would solve crowd problems - ALCP [NZ]

Cannabis amnesty would solve crowd problems - ALCP
Tue, 09 Nov 2010 - 3 News.co.NZ

Saturday's alcohol-fuelled incident at Eden Park Stadium could have been avoided if it was legal to smoke cannabis during the game, the Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party says.

Thousands of spectators were forced to leave minutes into the second half of the Kiwis-Kangaroos Four Nations league match, as fights broke out and bottles were thrown.

Party leader Michael Appleby is calling for an amnesty for all personal cannabis during the Rugby World Cup to avoid a repeat.

“Alcohol is what fuels violence. Last week there was rioting at the rugby league in Auckland. If they’re allowed to use cannabis at next year’s event, they wont even need alcohol.”

Appleby says spectators from New Zealand and around the world will be using cannabis at next year’s games, and it’s pointless to attempt to patrol its use.

“Seventy-five to 80 percent of young New Zealanders have tried cannabis by the time they’re 20, and foreigners will be smoking it just as much," he says.

"It’s a complete waste of the police time and the court’s time to target these people - It will be the public paying for it.”

Amnesty was implemented in Spain during the Football World Cup and Appleby says it was a success.

“It worked. The people who smoked cannabis didn’t indulge in violence. It’s the people indulging in alcohol that get out of control.”

Rugby World Cup Minister Murray McCully has ordered an official report into the running of Saturday’s league test at Eden Park after bottles were thrown on the pitch and at the players.
