You know how good hemp and cannabis is for health?
We stock oils and balms that people report are useful for various conditions.
Our stock usually sells out each week, so we are aiming to improve supply and add hemp foods to the all important oils and balms. Watch out for our launch party – details to come!
Drop in. Discover hemp, discover life.
Is NZ First NZ last? Or just out of touch?
Reliable reports from within parliament, NZ First, academia and the public service, say that Winston Peters and Shane Jones do not and will not support hemp.
This seems odd and out of step with science and common sense. The Ministry of Health also continues to restrict public access to New Zealand-farmed hemp, while Italy has seen drug use drop 11% with legal hemp.
Is NZF just ill informed, or could NZF have a conflict of interest (a la fisheries) with hemp? Alcohol, tobacco and pharma all have deep pockets and face stiff competition from hemp. But hemp would mean more wealth for New Zealand, so you’d think Winston would be a champion.
Or is the Winebox truly behind us? Hemp is a massive opportunity for New Zealand and we should all be in this together. I’ve written to Winston asking for his position.

Have you tried our hemp oils? ‘Let food be thy medicine’ Hippocrates said. Some people report it helps their pain, anxiety, stress, sleep, fatigue and other issues. (Although that may just be the
placebo effect.)
You can buy them at the Grey Lynn Farmers Market, the Richmond Road shop, our facebook page, or www.thehempfoundation.org.nz. Locals can often enjoy free delivery.
The perils of the black market There have been two cases of cannabis oil supplied by an unknown ‘green fairy’ with a mysterious blue substance in it.
We are actively trying to confirm the origin of this product, the ingredient causing the blue sediment and number of people affected.
If you have a product and are concerned about its quality, or have had blue sediment as shown in this picture, please contact Medical Cannabis Awareness New Zealand, Auckland Patients Group, Kiwi Cannasseur or The Hemp Foundation directly!
While we attempt to find out its composition we advise anyone with blue sediment in their product to cease using it immediately or contact their doctor if they have any health concerns!
A black market in hemp takes off
Reports abound of a black market for hemp taking off. Hemp has no known harms, and FSANZ says “hemp has no therapeutic effects.” Yet hemp remains literally, a ‘prohibited plant’ grown ‘under strict licensing conditions’ that bizarrely prohibit public access to it.
However, many people find that hemp transforms their health and suspect that we are being lied to. After all, why can’t we grow, buy, eat and otherwise use hemp? There is no downside. Unless you’re big business.
ASA rejects complaint about misleading ads from lobby group The Hemp Foundation made an evidence-based objection to the misleading billboards spread around New Zealand by Family First. Their position, that ‘you can’t legalise marijuana and promote mental health’ is demonstrably the opposite of true. Evidence was provided in support and rejected on the unsubstantiated grounds that it was ‘opinion’ and ‘not misleading’. This decision has been appealed and substantiation for its decision sought.
