An update:
Special votes in New Zealand were released today, and while they significantly favoured legalization, it was not enough to swing the referendum. 50.7% is the final percentage of no votes.
I hope that with a result so close, the Green party will still introduce a bill to parliament, probably for decriminalization, and I hope that our suddenly too-centrist-to-take-a-position Labour government votes in favour. I guess that's the best we can hope for right now.

These guys come in and it’s always a nice polite one. You serve them because you dont want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.
And THEY bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh, this is a Nazi bar now. And its too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.
