J Day is a worldwide protest against prohibition and a celebration of Kiwi cannabis culture, held on the first Saturday in May every year.
This will be NORML’s 31st Annual national day of action supporting cannabis law reform (J Day began in 1992 but was not held in 2020 due to Covid). We push for safe legal access, including to medicinal cannabis.
NORML and our cannabis law reform friends organise free events nationwide to mark the occasion. These usually take the form of music, speeches and stalls in a park or suitable location. J Day is where you can meet like minded people, relax without fear, learn how you can help make cannabis legal, join NORML and meet us too!
Covid update
J Day is held outdoors. Due to the ongoing presence of Covid in the community we ask everyone to act responsibly and safely, for example:
+ staying home if unwell, symptomatic, or told to isolate.
+ not sharing joints or pipes;
+ wearing a face mask;
