Cannabis Protests
The group meets every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 4:20pm to smoke cannabis as an act of protest against 'New Zealand's unjust cannabis prohibition laws'. It began as Friday only in 2004. Wednesday was added in 2008 and Monday was added in 2013. Over the last 9 years this practise has continued for, no arrests have occurred at the event. However members of the group have been targeted by police and arrested at other times. The group was placed under surveillance by the Dunedin Police Tactical Response Group sometime prior to May 2008. The fifth anniversary of the '420' protests was held on September 11, 2009 and was briefly attended by Police, but no arrests were made.
