Good Samaritan bill should look at friend group drug sharing - MPs told

Tom Harris2026-07-22T01:18:55.000Z

Yeah nah, if my mates are sharing drugs at a party, I'm calling an ambulance not the cops. This bill makes sense.

NZ Herald2026-07-22T01:41:55.000Z

stuffed. Legalise sharing and suddenly every 16 year old is a pharmacist.

Noah Bennett2026-07-22T01:34:55.000Z

So we're just gonna legalise drug sharing now? What a load of shit.

Grace Patel2026-07-22T01:40:55.000Z

nah, I get it, but where's the line? Three mates splitting a bag? That's not friend sharing, that's supply.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-22T01:50:55.000Z

Same. I'd rather have my kid alive and have a chat later than a funeral.

Grace Patel2026-07-22T01:50:55.000Z

Friend group drug sharing? More like 'hey bro can I have a line?' – that's not a good samaritan, that's a dealer.

Taylor Wright2026-07-22T01:56:55.000Z

tbh if it saves one life I don't care about the legal technicalities. Prosecuting people for trying to help is cooked.

Casey Adams2026-07-22T02:08:55.000Z

These MPs need to sort out the housing crisis instead of wasting time on this bs.

Noah Bennett2026-07-22T02:44:55.000Z

mate. These 'good samaritan' laws just give dealers a free pass.

Jordan Bell2026-07-22T02:21:55.000Z

As someone who's lost a mate to an OD, this bill is overdue. Ffs just do it.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-22T02:50:55.000Z

I dunno, seems like a slippery slope. But if my kid was dying I'd want someone to call for help.

Casey Adams2026-07-22T03:14:55.000Z

crisis AND drug reform? Pick a struggle, cuzz.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-22T03:06:55.000Z

Typical government – react to a tragedy with a half-baked bill. How about some actual drug education?

Leo McKenzie2026-07-22T03:31:55.000Z

education? In this political climate? Good luck with that.

Zoe King2026-07-22T03:25:55.000Z

All the pearl-clutchers in here never been to a party apparently. Get real.
