    It would help if the two guys up on the balcony did a better acting job.

    It was hard to even tell what they were pretending to do ... engage in some kind of kinky sex act, maybe?

    @Smitros: Oh, whoops, sorry -- I didn't know what they were when I first heard of them either. But they were the two main drugs I was offered in NZ; the other contender was Ecstacy.


    Power_stroke's right, they're Kiwi terms. Tinnies are little foil wraps of weed, tinnie houses are where its grown/sold, and P is meth. But the craziest thing I encountered in NZ was the huge number of herbal sellers, with stuff like party pills. Totally legal, actual shops that sold... Well, I don't know exactly what that shit was, but it was definitely more powerful than anything legal I'd seen elsewhere.


    But there might be a law against party pills now, gone into effect in the last year or so.

    @limber: YOU WERE OFFERED P? Ha, the main drug of choice here is/has/will always be pot. followed closely by E, acid, or mdma. cocaine/heroin are just too expensive and cut by the time they get here, that nobody bothers.
