Some days are harder than others. That doesn’t mean you’ve failed, and it doesn’t mean all the progress you’ve made has disappeared.

Healing isn’t about feeling better every single day. There will be good days, bad days, and days somewhere in between.

If today is a difficult one, be kind to yourself. Take it one day at a time and keep going. ❤️

You’re still making progress, even when you can’t feel it.

Thanks, prohibition! 👏

Another massive cannabis grow busted by NZ Police, while prohibition continues to hand a lucrative black-market opportunity to criminal networks.

We already have a regulated medicinal cannabis market. Why not apply sensible regulation to adult-use cannabis too?

Tax revenue could be directed into healthcare, addiction services, drug education and harm reduction, while regulation could mean age restrictions, testing and quality controls.

50+ years of prohibition. Maybe it's time to try something that actually works. 🌿

💚 GANDALF IS BACK IN COURT — LET’S FILL THAT STREET AGAIN! 💚

Paul “Gandalf” Smith is back at the Whangārei District Courthouse, Tuesday 1 October at 11:45am, and we need to show him and his family that they’re not standing alone.

It’s been more than 18 months since police raided Gandalf’s Northland property, destroyed his greenhouses, and charged him with six offences relating to growing and supplying cannabis and cannabis oil. The most serious charges carry up to 14 years in prison.

A trial date is finally expected to be set. And according to the Crown’s own timeline, that trial may not be heard until 2028.

That’s potentially three years from raid to trial, for a man who has spent years providing cannabis to hundreds, and according to supporters, potentially thousands, of Kiwis living with cancer, chronic pain, PTSD and other conditions.

📍 Whangārei District Courthouse
🗓️ Tuesday 1 October
⏰ 11:45am

Bring your placards, whistles and loud voices, along with your warmest smiles. 💚

Wear green if you've got it.

This is a peaceful, family-friendly rally. Your presence can make a huge difference to Gandalf and his whānau.

Can’t make it to Whangārei? You can still stand with him.

Gandalf’s Give-a-Little page and the Parliamentary petition calling for an amnesty for medicinal cannabis patients and their providers are both linked in the comments below.

💚 Stand with Gandalf. Stand with medicinal cannabis patients. Stand for compassion.
