Helping New Zealanders feel confident about a "Yes" vote in the cannabis referendum. Authorised by Friends & Friends of Friend, 48 Carrington Rd, Mt Albert.
Thanks so much to everyone who participated in our campaign and to everyone else who campaigned and voted for evidence-based reform of our dysfunctional cannabis laws. This has absolutely been worth doing and our conversation about cannabis is far richer than it was a year ago.
We are in new territory now, regardless of the eventual result. But we won't know exactly what that territory looks like until the special votes are announced next week. See you then.
Hey! We checked down the back of the couch and we still have a couple of posts featuring our wonderful We Do volunteers left. Here's Lisa, talking sense
"A “No” vote in this referendum would be a vote for no solution in an environment where the need for sensible, honest law is becoming more acute ... It is, in the end, just a vote against change." https://t.co/t7LsXEhQnb
It seemed a good time to write some personal reflections on the cannabis referendum, how our campaign has worked and what I see as the historical context of the historic choice on offer this year. Please vote "Yes". https://t.co/gWgvkq9VYH
@kevinnz14 The Cannabis Bill is a draft. If the referendum succeeds and we have a Labour led Govt, the bill will be introduced to Parliament and referred to a select committee. Then everybody can influence the shape of the law. Just like any other law.
@HelenClarkNZ@TwoPaddocks@ToppTwins@lorde@nzdrug @MakeitlegalNZ @WeDo2020NZ@globalcdp Only smoked it once, & found out, very quickly, that Im one of VERY few in the world that is highly allergic (anaphylaxis). I will vote YES for this very reason (as well as others)
Getting medical treatment was delayed due to it being an illegal substance & nearly cost my life 🌺
It wasn't originally part of our campaign concept, but we've published a page on who the "No" campaign actually is, because so many people we've talked to didn't seem to know. Might be helpful. https://t.co/PLQjwP7va1
Ian's right. A "No" vote is literally a waste of time. It's punting off whatever problems there are with cannabis for someone else to deal with, sometime. Vote "Yes".
We're just one of several "Yes" campaigns, all with slightly different approaches, but we do like this one from our friends at @MakeitlegalNZ. Because it's true.
