J Day is a global protest against cannabis prohibition, and celebration of our cannabis culture, that now happens in over 200 cities around the world.

If you are not one of New Zealand's half-million cannabis consumers, then you know one of them or have been affected by our insane drug war.

Cannabis is safer than alcohol and synthetics, isn't it time we treated it that way?

It should be a health issue, not a crime. There should be safe, legal, access to medicinal cannabis.

Most Kiwis support cannabis law reform, and there is good reason to believe that we can finally do it:

- Colorado, Washington and Uruguay have legalised cannabis;

- NZ is leading the world with pragmatic regulations for legal highs;

- Gay marriage reform has swept the world;

- There is drug-war dissent at the highest levels in the UN;

- It's an election year!

Show your support for sensible drug laws. Come to J Day, a celebration and protest, with free events nationwide.

J Day is R18.

All events start at High Noon and go to 4:20.

Dress to impress and for success!
