Cannabis referendum: Draft bill released

Oliver Neighbourly Lead from One Tree Point

RNZ published an article today that contains a link to the draft of the Cannabis Legalisation and Control Bill which we get to vote for or against in one of next year's referenda.
There will be a lot of misinformation, fake news and confusion about this bill in the media over the next nine to ten months, so for those of us (like me) who rather get it directly from the source, we can now have a first read of the proposed legislation and follow the government's process as the bill is debated and refined.
Since we have unfortunately seen an increase in trolling and inappropriate comments in our area lately, I decided to disable replies for this post, apologies for that. It is merely meant as an announcement, and to provide access to the aforementioned resources.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
