*About J Day:* Established in 1992 as an annual event, coming to J Day supports your rights of freedom of expression, freedom of belief, freedom of association, and acceptance of your lifestyle choices. Thank you for supporting our kaupapa.

*A lil' history:* J Day was originally held in November each year, then February, then for many years it moved to the first Saturday in May, and now J Day is held in Auckland on the first Saturday in December. The weather is nicer, people are more likely to enjoy an outdoor park setting, and it doesn't get dark so early. For more information or to get involved please message us or see www.norml.org.nz

*Huge thanks* to our eternal sponsors The Hempstore Aotearoa, Jafa Sound, Clipper lighters, all our stallholders and our volunteers. You're awesome 💚

The presence of THC or its metabolites in blood, breath, or saliva is not correlated with psychomotor performance - nor is it evidence of causation. NZ's new arbitrary numerical limits have little relation to impairment and may be used to punish those who pose no traffic safety risk.

🎶Crappy Birthday, stupid cannabis law! 📅 Today marks 50 years of misuse of drugs laws. The Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 was passed ☑️ with unanimous support of Labour and National, who normally will happily repeal each other's policies 💩 but in this case are so addled by the thought of drugs they have spent the last half century denying they were wrong and refusing to do anything about it. 🤡 So today, you can do three things: 1️⃣ Spark a torch of freedom 🗽 at 4:20 or in public. It's your right to protest! 2️⃣ Sign this petition. 3️⃣ Tell your elected representatives what you want, and vote accordingly!

🕰️ In 2025, the Misuse of Drugs Act (MODA) turns 50, half a century since it was written for a very different time. It’s been amended in patches but never properly reformed, leaving us with a system that is:  ➡️ Outdated and fragmented  ➡️ Inconsistent with modern science &n...

The Drug Foundation says police are playing “whack-a-mole” and “devoting enormous amounts of resources” to finding w**d growers.
