New Zealand’s first cannabis club, the Daktory, celebrates its first birthday today. In the year it has been operating, it has provided a venue where members can gather to enjoy cannabis in a safe, relaxed environment.
The Daktory has also shown the way toward the future of cannabis in New Zealand, illustrating the fact that cannabis is a benign herb which can be used in an accessible social setting without any problems for the wider community.
The Daktory was established last year by Dakta Green, following his nationwide tour in the Cannabus advocating for the legalisation of cannabis. The tour, which encompassed the entire country from Cape Reinga to Bluff, drew an overwhelmingly positive response from the public.
Unfortunately, politicians are not listening to the public. Instead they continue to inflict harm on New Zealanders by maintaining cannabis prohibition.
The Daktory operates on a BYO basis for members in anticipation of the time when it can provide a model for the legal, regulated sale of cannabis to adults. This is a model which can be adapted to any community, providing a legitimate source of jobs and tax revenue when cannabis is restored to its rightful status as a legal substance for adults.
Police have wisely refrained from harassing the Daktory and its members, and the management of the Daktory would like to thank them for their forbearance and their common sense approach. The Daktory is located in an industrial area where no one is disturbed by its activities, and there is no reason for police to go there.
As it enters its second year of operation, the management of the Daktory look forward to being able to increase its services to members, and to taking part in the campaign to restore to cannabis users their full rights as citizens and human beings.
