H**p rules loosened in NZ law change.

Industrial h**p will no longer require a licence to grow or handle. A clear THC threshold of less than 1% will distinguish h**p from high-THC cannabis. **p https://www.cannabiscare.nz

Alcohol tops drug harm list, time for NZ to rethink?

A major 2010 study in The Lancet by Prof. David Nutt and team ranked 20 drugs using 16 harm criteria.

The results? 👇

Alcohol: Most harmful overall (score 72)
He**in: 55
Crack co***ne: 54
To***co: 6th
Cannabis: 8th
Ecstasy (M**A): 9th
L*D: 14th
Mushrooms: 20th

It’s been 50 years since NZ’s Misuse of Drugs Act 1975, isn’t it time for fresh, evidence-based law reform?

Modernise Our Drugs Act is calling for an independent review to prioritise health, science, and equity.
