Mary Jane is still coughing after having an excessively large bong hit, Northland Tour postponed
Posted on August 13th, 2010 by Dakta Bourbon | Filed under Armistice Tour 2010, Featured, Misc, New Zealand, News, The Daktory. No Comments »
Well, not literally.
The bus suffered some more mechanical issues this morning, as the Armistice Tour convoy set off for it’s Northland tour. As a result, we are sorry to inform you that we will be postponing our Northland tour. We are truly sorry to those of you who were hoping to checkout our Mobile Daktory, but we will be making it up to you at a later date.
We will be visiting the Auckland electorates regardless of Mary Jane’s status, as we will be showing up with our support vehicles, Stashin Wagon and the Bongo Van, if she is not working on the day.

Armistice Tour Update!
Posted on April 27th, 2010 by Dakta Bourbon | Filed under Featured, Information, The Daktory. No Comments »
Dear Cannabis Community,
It may seem like others have taken up arms against us, but cannabis community campaigner Dakta Green has already appealed for a truce on the War Against Drugs (y’know, the one that attacks ordinary Kiwi families).
Armistice Tour update as of 9.25pm Tuesday.
Dakta Green – founder of New Zealand’s only cannabis club The Daktory – reports he is very close to the goal of raising 2000 cannabis law reform submissions by this Friday.
He and fellow Daktavists will personally deliver the submissions they have raised on a two-round road tour – in MaryJane the Cannabus – of the North Island to the Law Commission offices in Wellington this Friday. Read the rest of this entry »

It was great to see a lot of new faces last night at The Daktory for Dakta Livvy’s 20th birthday, I hope you all tried the cake
The photo was taken earlier today, I don’t think I have ever seen The Daktory look as great as it is right now. We have more lighting equipment on the way as we speak, so look forward to buzzing out in the atmosphere tonight. Sorry that it is only a phone camera pic, more photos and videos will be posted after the event.

My friend Dakta Grower (Brian Borland) is serving a sentence of 2 years 4 months in prison for cultivation and selling of cannabis. After serving one third of his sentence he has been denied early release when recently he appeared before the New Zealand Parole Board.
Would somebody in charge please explain why my friend is in jail.
I have received the following message from Dakta Grower;

Complain to the Broadcasting Standards Authority
Posted on February 10th, 2010 by Dakta Bourbon | Filed under Information, Legalization, Misc, The Daktory. 3 Comments »
After the disgracefully one sided story that was shown on Tv1′s Close Up last night, we are encouraging everyone to send letters of complaint to the Broadcasting Standards Authority.
Considering the introductory segment of the article shows it as “Reefer Madness,” there is clearly going to be some classic Government/Media cover up involved.
Watch the story, or read the article for yourself if you haven’t already and judge it for yourself. We also have the original post on our site, with some comments.
Thanks to Hybrid for the link and excerpts.

Closeup TV 1
Posted on February 9th, 2010 by Dakta Green | Filed under Events, Featured, Information, News, The Daktory. 8 Comments »
Tonight, Close up on TV1 had an article on Mary Jane, the Cannabus. They had based the story around it being following her trip up to Waitangi, but ended up spending most of the time showing every bad clip they could about the trip, and of ‘Dacktar’ Green! Yes, that’s right, they didn’t even bother checking to see how to spell it.
Though there is the presence of a balanced article, it seems to lack any any footage of support for the cause, other than members of The Daktory talking to the camera.
For those of you who haven’t read the text article, or seen the poor photography to go with, you can check it out here.
For those of you who want to check out the video, you can get that here.

Dakta Green arrested, is the system to blame?
Posted on February 3rd, 2010 by Dakta Bourbon | Filed under Blog, The Daktory. 5 Comments »
Dakta Green:
24 hours ago (Monday, 1st February) I was preparing for trial when 2 Police officers arrived at my home and arrested me. Charged me with failure to turn up in court. I thought I only had 2 matters to deal with on the 26th January, It appears I had 3. In two different courts. Court failed to inform me and I pay the price. Prohibition sux. “Legal this Year”
