    Come in little tin foil packages called tinnies. Tinnies are sold in tinnie houses which are indicated by sneakers on the power line in front of the house. Ring doorbell, put money in mail slot, weed comes out. It's pretty much like a vending machine society lol.

    Although it's expensive, it's always good quality. New Zealand has the highest rate of cannabis consumption in the world and it's all grown indoors, and bad quality weed is very rarely seen.

    In addition, it's probably the only drug that you can buy cheap enough, apart from shrooms which grow everywhere. Any chemically manufactured drug like acid or ecstasy has to imported from overseas and you'll probably expect to pay between $70-$100USD for a tab of X or a hit of acid. Would-be acid and x producers tend to concentrate on making meth, because there's a big market for it here.

    Hope you learnt something =)

    ^ Oh yes Mr. Information machine.

    You're telling me that New Zealand has "the highest cannabis consumption rate" in the world?

    BULL FUCKING SHIT.

    Let's start with the obvious, Holland? Ring any bells?

    If I ever go to New Zealand I'm taking extra shoes to put infront of wherever I'm staying so people will randomly put money in my mailbox.

    they're not random houses, usually you have to text the people beforehand, but that's pretty much how it works. i mean like people who grow weed here are pretty afraid, so no one really has a dealer or anything like that, word just circulates around about a particular house that dispenses weed. then the cops find out eventually, arrest the occupants and people just move on to their next house

    and you do realise that just because weed is legal in holland, it doesn't mean that all dutch people smoke it. coffee shops in amsterdam are probably most frequented by foreign tourists !

    well maybe nz doesn't have the highest rate of consumption of weed, i'm just going by the statistics on this website http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/lif_can_use-lifestyle-cannabis-use and the fact that i don't really know anyone who doesn't smoke weed...

    gosh no need to get up and arms about a post that i just wanted to give you some interesting info in

    yeah new zealand is pretty weird come to think of it.

    after joints of course, the most popular way of smoking weed is Hot kniving which is called spotting or doing spots here, i think maybe you use that term in america too? And if you have knives that are burnt and smell like weed, they're classed as cannabis paraphernalia lol

    Yeah man my bad, I came on a little strong there.
    Really though there's no legitimate way to test that statistic and just because it's pasted on some website dosn't make it fact is all ;).

    yeah you're right, there's no way to be sure. i'm guessing what i meant that we have a high rate of consumption, weed is deeply embedded in our culture down here by antarctica where there isn't really much to do but smoke weed lol

    check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spots_(cannabis) it's a pretty interesting article
    not good for the old health though, there are definitely better methods and i have no idea why it's popular here, i'm guessing because it gets you really fucked up

    I'm originally from NZ. There is allot of weed smoked there :)

    "According to New Zealand Norml activist, “NZ has the honour of having the world's highest arrest rate for cannabis – more than 50% higher than the US who are at #2. This is partly because we have the highest recorded rate of using cannabis, and also because there are few
    hard drugs here so the police have plenty of time to chase after pot smokers.”"

    It has the highest arrest rate. Not sure if it is the highest for smoking but, it must be up there

    The percentages on that website were based on the number of people who have smoked weed in their lifetimes.


    That doesnt have anything to do with cannabis consumption.

    I was referring to the fact that it has the worlds highest arrest rate. Which would mean that is is at the least very common in production and use. Although it could have allot to do with the police. Still, being unsure about real stats I will say I saw more and was offered more weed every week in New Zealand than in a year in Australia.

    I wonder if this is the real reason for "Land of the long white cloud" (Maori joke)

    Holland has a lower consumption rate than the us, by far.

    The lenient cannabis policies there have effectively made smoking weed boring for a lot of people apparently.

    My guess on the places with the highest consumption would be morocco, jamaica, maybe california, and a few other places I cant think of right now.

    When it's the best price unfortunately some people have to pay it. That was the price I had to pay for a while.

    True, and at least you can pretty much get it whenever you like. Around here, even with knowing three or four dealers, it sometimes takes a couple of days to get your hands on bud. The bud is good, however.
