Does The Daktory Have A Future?
Do you want to see the Daktory reopen? It can if enough people are willing to support it.
We are asking our friends and supporters to become members at the modest cost of $20 a month. This will help to cover the outgoings on the building and provide a token of support for the law reform movement – which is still alive despite the many attacks on it.
If you are interested, come along – the Daktory will have an open day this Sunday from noon to 6 pm and an open evening next Wednesday from 7.30-10 pm. Entry is free for both – with a donation bucket if you are feeling generous – and there will be drinks and snacks for sale. All the facilities are still there for members to enjoy – the pool table, table tennis, table soccer, darts and more.
On Sunday we will be screening The Union: The Business of Getting High at 3 pm – an interesting and informative documentary about the cannabis industry. On Wednesday evening there will be an information session about bitcoins.
This is your opportunity to help keep the Daktory alive and to tell us what you would like to see happening at the club. If you have any suggestions for events, activities and improvements, please let us know.
If the Daktory has to close, then all the effort that went into keeping it open for the last three years will have been for nothing – and the law reform movement will lose an outstanding icon and a valuable centre for activism.
The Daktory will have to operate on a different basis than it has in the past. There will no longer be a dispensary, and people will not be able to consume cannabis on the premises. This is due to Dakta Green’s bail conditions – one of the “crimes” he is charged with is allowing the Daktory to be used for consumption of cannabis. If he is found to be in breach of bail, he could be put in jail until his trial, which will not take place until next year.
Of course you can always have a session before you come to the Daktory or go outside for a smoke like people do with cigarettes. And for your own protection, pleaase do not bring any weed into the building – just in case we get a visit from the local chapter of the Government Gang.

I agree and I think that the Daktory is an important beacon of the cannabis use legalisation cause in New Zealand.
I would like to make a suggestion for your consideration. Would it be possible for you to extend your Daktory membership onto an international level of support as an honorary membership, at say NZ$10 a month? I think that people around the world would be interested in supporting the Daktory in this way. The additional revenue might be very handy to further your campaigning activities and help pay for the Cannabus.
If you were to implement an international initiative I would be very happy to promote it on the Legalise Cannabis International Page, group and website.
Please consider. Thank you. Jayelle x
Jayelle – thanks for this – it’s a great idea! We would love to have honorary members from overseas and out of town who are willing to contribute toward our campaigns.
Payments can be made to the following account:

Cheers!

What a great idea, Jayelle! A regular contribution into a bank account is far more efficient use of donated money than a fraction of the money paid for bitcoins. As a start, I pledge a monthly donation of 100 Dollars from today.
Free God’s (please substitute for your Supreme Entity of choice) gift to mankind!
I’ll setup an automatic payment now! Long live the Daktory! Can you please move the bank a/c number into the main article? It’s dodgy having it as a comment as it could be a fake number by any commenter, it is more trust worthy in the body section. Thanks.
I think it is also a good idea to extend club nights to weekly film/guest speaker/information nights and run a little food/coffee stall asking for koha.
ALCP AGM coming up Labour weekend – I will put this on the agenda – as well as promote the monthly pledge on our website. Thanks for all the great work the Daktory has done – we must not give up now – our cause is just and right – we stand on solid ground and will not be shaken from our determination to change this unjust law.
Any chance you could date your posts? Cheers guys keep up the battle

Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform
you’re using? I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m
looking for something unique. P.S Sorry for being
off-topic but I had to ask!
