J Day! Sat 7 May 2005
International J Day will this year be celebrated in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin, plus 200 cities in
37 countries around the world.
The National Organisation for the Reform of Marijuana Laws calls on those who want to end marijuana prohibition to show
their support. "Come to J Day, and bring your buddies!"
Auckland: International J Day will be recognised in Auckland at the "420 Box" at the Victoria St East entrance to Albert
Park, just up from The Hempstore. Be there at 4:20pm - bring your buddies and banners and placards. The 4:20 Box is a
new piece of public street art commissioned by The Hempstore, turning an unattractive traffic light control box, on the
corner of Albert Park, Victoria St East and Kitchener St, into a stunning work of surreal art complete with 4:20 themes
and references. J Day supporters can also ask at The Hempstore for their special J Day deals.
Wellington: Aro Park, high noon. Wellington opponents of cannabis prohibition are cordially invited to recognise J Day,
this Saturday 7 May, at high noon, in Aro Park. Bring your banners, musical instruments, placards. and don't forget your
buddies.
Christchurch: meet at Cathedral Square, high noon to 4:20pm. Speakers will include MP Tim Barnett, Derek Mc Cullough
from the Unitarian Church, Larry Ross from Nuclear Free Peacemaking Assoc, NORML, ALCP, Mild Greens and Green Party
spokespeople. Music includes Gideon Trio, and a special prayer will be held for Shapelle Corby, facing life in an
Indonedsian prison after being "framed" with marijuana in her luggage.
Dunedin: The Octagon, high noon to 4:20pm. International J Day will kick off a "Weed Week" in Dunedin, with other events
including a movie night, cannabis cup, workshops, and ending with a community forum before the Katchafire concert the
following weekend. Come to J Day to show your support and get more details about the Weed Week festivities, or email
