 Otago University's NORML group has, for the past two or three years, gathered on the Union Lawn every Friday at 4:20pm for a protest against cannabis prohibition and old-fashioned smoke-in, known as the Friday 4:20.
Following a dispute between Campus Watch and NORML over whether the smoke-in should be tolerated, the group featured on the front page of the Otago Daily Times, and TV One's Close Up show attended, complete with gas masks.

 The DominionPost, 18 July 2005
By CHALPAT SONTI
Tim Shadbolt rues the increasing popularity of cannabis - all it has done is increase the price for other users such as himself.
The Invercargill mayor's observation is one of many from prominent people in a three-part television documentary examining the history of New Zealand's illicit drug scene.
High Times, the brainchild of director and researcher David Herkt, starts with the arrest of Anna Hoffman for selling marijuana to an undercover policeman in Auckland about 1960. It was the first such arrest in New Zealand.

A Dutch official hopes the creation of "cannabis boulevards" will help
alleviate the problem of drug tourism in the Netherlands.
Gerd Leers was once a staunch prohibitionist in the Dutch Parliament,
but three years as a local leader have changed his perspective. Leers,
now the Mayor of Maastricht, a Dutch border city, is calling for the
creation of "cannabis boulevards" in border areas to ease problems
associated with cross-border drug tourism. He also seeks regulation of
the supply of marijuana to coffee shops to eliminate a robust black
market created by the fact that production of the plant is illegal in
the Netherlands.

BUSH DOCTOR, NORML News Winter 2004.
Literally, they suck the life-blood out of your plants. The warm, humid conditions and abundant food in a greenhouse provide an excellent, stable environment for pest development, so the sooner you are on to them the better.

NORML's 2004 Summer Smokin' Tour lands in Auckland with a special J DAY called Summer Sessions. The popular free event featuring music, games and guest speakers will run from High Noon to 4:20 on Saturday February 21.
The Valentine's Day J Day has been postponed one week due to adverse weather forecasts. NORML had to make the decision whether to cancel or not at 8am when it was pouring with rain and further showers were expected.
J Day Summer Sessions will now be held one week later, at the same time and place with all acts confirmed. Come along and demand your equal rights and an end to the war on drug users. Celebrate being part of Aotearoa's cannabis culture!

Police confiscated marijuana used as part of an exhibition in a Hamilton gallery. Platform01, a gallery run by Waikato Institute of Technology graduates, displayed a cannabis bud as part of the exhibition, Smells Like Art.
Detectives removed about 2g of cannabis from the gallery - two weeks after the exhibition opened - after a complaint from a member of the public.
A tongue in cheek PR from Nandor said that the student artists and the police had collaborated on a significant piece of social art. "Who would have thought the police contribution to the collaboration would be such a perceptive critique of the absurdity of cannabis prohibition," said Nandor.
