Restrictions on Good Friday, Easter Sunday alcohol sales could be gone by weekend Labour MP Kieran McAnulty says the legislation would clear up a "confusing law" that has been in place for a long time.

I honestly can't comprehend how anybody can observe our habitual alcoholism and think, "These people need more access to alcohol.".
What we need is legal access to the less harmful psychoactive substances that all are currently prohibited.
As an option, not instead of.

ZP screenshot: Cannabis possession charges surge 50% in two years, hitting 8‑year high News|National Author Ethan Griffiths, Publish Date Tue, 24 Mar 2026, 5:00am Charges for cannabis possession are on the rise – increasing by 50% in two years. It’s led to criticism from Greens co-leader Chloe Swarbrick – who said there’s a link between the Government’s tough-on-crime rhetoric and a rise in charges. But police said the rise is roughly in line with increasing use.

If the Government applied the punitive prohibition of the Misuse of Drugs Act to imported oil, we would have more black market oil coming in than we know what to do with, in no time at all.
Ban oil to guarantee our supply.

Medicinal cannabis company Helius Therapeutics shuts down The cannabis company says the current regulatory environment has made it "very challenging for manufacturers to operate sustainably at scale".

You know our medical cannabis regulations are really fucked-up when even the large well-funded corporate operators can't survive, and the person producing the most effective cannabis medicine has been shut down, arrested, and is facing criminal charges.😒

Many of my cohort are alive today and avoided H.I.V because Dr Michael Baker created the needle exchange program in the 1980s.👍
He knows a thing or two about reducing harm for users of prohibited substances and he is well aware that punitive prohibition is a harm maximiser.

FYI, that MDMA in your pocket might be extra extra strong Many drugs are more potent, more affordable and more available this summer.

When I first tried MDMA, it was legal.
The pills were a legally regulated dose, produced by a legally regulated company, meaning nobody had to have anything tested to find out what the pill contained, or the dose.
MDMA pill roulette happened AFTER MDMA was prohibited.😒

New polling shows a quarter of New Zealanders have little or no trust in police However, a new poll also shows most people's positions were not rattled by the recent Jevon McSkimming scandals.

Want people to trust police?
End punitive prohibition.
Remove the police's right to invoke random searches without a warrant.
Stop police persecuting and criminalising people up for using substances.
Kill the Misuse of Drugs Act.
It isn't rocket science.
