Christopher Luxon and Chris Hipkins both open to banning sale of meth pipes

So they're gonna ban pipes but let the dealers keep selling the actual meth? Classic NZ government logic.

Stuff2026-06-30T00:26:49.000Z

mate. They'll ban the spoon but let the cake sit right there.

Jack Morrison2026-06-30T00:13:49.000Z

ffs just ban the whole damn drug. not that hard. instead we get this half baked nonsense.

Reagan Shaw2026-06-30T00:23:49.000Z

Actually there's research showing meth pipes can carry diseases. Banning them makes sense from a health perspective.

Jack Morrison2026-06-30T00:35:49.000Z

lol u think they care about health? they care about looking busy.

Peyton Hall2026-06-30T01:01:49.000Z

That's actually a fair point. But maybe baby steps will lead to a full ban?

Whatever keeps the kids safe I'm for it. But this feels like a PR stunt before the election.

Reagan Shaw2026-06-30T01:01:49.000Z

steps are still steps. Better than nothing.

Jack Morrison2026-06-30T00:57:49.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. focus on real issues like housing and health instead of virtue signalling over pipes.

NZ Herald2026-06-30T01:15:49.000Z

Are meth pipes even legal to sell right now?? I thought they fell under drug paraphernalia laws already.

NZ Herald2026-06-30T01:59:49.000Z

question. They're sold openly at some dairies. Should def be illegal.

Ella Thompson2026-06-30T01:32:49.000Z

Gotta love lunchtime news with a side of political grandstanding. Both sides just want votes.

Ella Thompson2026-06-30T01:52:49.000Z

100%. Both parties playing us while the country burns 🔥

Mason Young2026-06-30T01:57:49.000Z
