Why you should contact your MP
Contacting your Member of Parliament is one of the most powerful things you can do to help reform New Zealand's drug laws. Public opinion supports cannabis law reform, but prohibition itself works to suppress debate because users fear speaking publically about their criminal behaviour, while non-using law reform supporters tend to not speak out for fear of being branded a cannabis user. As a result, few people contact their MPs about this issue, therefore many MPs do not believe there is much support, therefore to take a position on this issue, they believe, would cost them votes.
If you support law reform, you must tell your MP! Write to them, call them, fax them, visit them; email them; but most importantly, do something! If you don't, then who will?
