What are the laws on marijuana usage and posession in New Zealand?

Its illegal over here, no one can use it for medical reasons... from what ive seen the police are pretty laid back when it comes to users but for growers/dealers they have little mercy allthough they do focus most of there attention on handing out speeding tickets and trying to stop our out of control meth problem.

Alot of people get away with little punishment when they are caught with pot, i was in caught onme day and a guy was caught with 16plants and said it was for personal suply and was only sentenced to 100hr comunity work.

There has been talk about law reform for years but nothing has come of it most recently they have been talking about instant fines for being caught with pot but i doubt it will happern

and just a little bit more info about pot in NZ we have the highest arrest rate and useage for cannabis in the world yet its still illegal, aparently we consume more lsd than any other country to,

I'll try to find a website with laws and stuff and put the link up for ya
