Peter Dunne has come up with some 2020 election reckons that ignores current polling as well as National’s leadership problems.

National’s drug conscience
Helen Kelly championed the liberalisation of drug law to allow those suffering from significant ill health to have access to cannabis for medicinal purposes. National is still struggling with the concept despite it having overwhelming public support.
It’s time to change our cannabis laws (sign the petition)
“Sick New Zealanders deserve access to medicinal cannabis which is legal and affordable.”
The Medicinal Marijuana Bill
Will the Medical Marijuana Bill just introduced into Parliament be as effective as proponents wish?
Medicinal Cannabis law reform
The Government is finally moving to adopt Labour policy and loosen requirements for the use of medicinal cannabis.
Petition for medicinal cannabis
Good to see that Nikki Kaye is doing so well after her cancer scare. Also good to see her changing her mind on an important issue. Please sign the petition to allow doctors to prescribe medicinal cannabis.
Helen Kelly – still speaking out
“Pain debilitates you and makes you depressed and you can sort of let the depression seep over you, but if you can, get out and live your life.”
Labour would legalise medical cannabis
On Stuff: “Little said cannabis products should be available to anyone suffering chronic pain or a terminal condition if their GP signed off on it.”
Why we need to support Medical Cannabis Awareness NZ
A new charity has been set up to use GiveALittle to raise funds for people who have been granted access to a medial cannabis product – and then they can’t afford them. I don’t want these people missing out on what I am getting from this drug. It works. Help them

Time for progress on drug law
Welcome signs of new realism on drugs. Sadly, it’s the sort of progress only a right-wing government can propose.
Medical cannabis review
With Martin Crowe’s sad death we now learn that he too was self-medicating with liquid cannabis. The time for political timidity is past – make cannabis legally available for medical purposes.
Life and Death and Cannabis
I am taking Cannabis Oil to manage my pain as my lung cancer takes over my body. It’s sort of as simple as that really. For some people talking about dying is confronting but actually talking about it allows us to think about how it happens – it is actually as much a social event as a physical one and knowing someone is comfortable, getting good treatment and pain relief is very much part of the social dimension as the physical one.
Medicinal cannabis
Helen Kelly calls for the government “to get real about medicinal cannabis”. Seriously – what are we waiting for?
