April 15th, 2011
Dakta Zippy
NORML presents J Day, the international day of cannabis liberation!
Free events (R18) are happening around the country. All events start at high noon and go til about 4:20. Strictly R18 – No alcohol – No dogs – Good times!
Check out our Events Page for more J Day details.
What J Day is about?
J Day is an international celebration of the cannabis culture and protest against prohibition, now happening in over 200 cities around the world, on the first Saturday in May every year.
Most J Day events feature music from supportive bands and DJs, guest speakers, market stalls, cannabis information and activation. But entertainment is not really the point: come to J Day to show your support for sensible drug law reform.
J Day is a positive, happy, celebration.

If you thought M*A*S*H* ran for ages, the war on drugs continues at triple the running length with no end in sight. Over 36 years and we’re no closer to a ceasefire from the state than we were in Muldoon’s day. The police continue to wield the Misuse of Drugs Act as a tool of oppression and collateral damage.
What’s a pacifist to do in a war zone? Render aid.

Rally this Saturday, support Marc Emery and those caught in the Lime Raids

Recently, Cannabis Culture announced a worldwide rally to support the Canadian Prince of Pot, Marc Emery, who is being extradited by the Canadian government to the US. We have decided to show our support for him this weekend outside the American Embassy in Auckland.
Dakta Green will be taking down Mary Jane the Cannabis in support.
The rally will also be held in support of those who have been caught in Operation Lime, or the Lime Raids as some are calling it. The media used this operation to water down the coverage of thousands on J Day who smoked openly, which included 300 smokers marching to Parliament, lead by Dakta Green. Read the rest of this entry »
