IT’S TIME FOR CHANGE
You are either one of NZ’s half-million pot smokers, or know one of them, or have been affected by our prohibition laws. It’s time to demand change!
Cannabis is the safer choice, and it should be regulated and taxed like alcohol. NORML has campaigned for over 30 years for sensible cannabis laws. Polls show a majority of Kiwis support ending prohibition. There are good reasons to believe we can finally do it, over the next 2-3 years:
- Colorado, Washington and Uruguay have regulated cannabis sales to adults, with more to come;
- NZ is leading the world with legal highs regulation;
- Gay marriage law reform has swept the world;
- Drug-War dissent at the highest levels of the UN;
- Elections in NZ and the US this year…
