Chris discusses the recent report from Dr. Rose Crossin at the Helen Clark Foundation which finds that the government spends 1.4% of it's annual 'drug budget' goes towards harm reduction. The report also finds that Kiwis want a greater portion of funding allocated to community-focused health-based appraoches. Also, a Nelson man has been sentenced for growing cannabis and supplying 'green fairies'. And, the Green Party have a new platform seeking the public's opinion on cannabis reform in light of five years passing since the referendum on the Cannabis Legislation and Control Bill. Thanks to The Hemp Store!
