... and in #GoodNews, Chris Fowlie reports the NZ government is significantly simplifying its regulation of industrial hemp;
https://95bfm.com/bcast/marijuana-media-with-chris-fowlie-may-21-2026
"As of 28 May 2026, the industrial hemp licensing scheme will be revoked and replaced by permission-based hemp regulations.
This change means that, from this date, activities that previously required an industrial hemp licence can be undertaken without one."

"Labour have said they won't necessarily commit right away to reinstating it. So we haven't necessarily seen a strong approach from Labour saying what they would do."
#LaraGreaves, 2026
One of the hosts read my mind with their reply;
"Well, we don't see much of a strong approach from Labour on anything at the moment, do we?"

"One was a survey of [3500] patients over in Germany, a new study showing medical cannabis appears to help people reduce their other medications; this was opioid, sleeping pills and antidepressants ... patients were able reduce the use of [other] prescription drugs by 85% ... 60% stopped their use of other prescription medications completely."

Despite leading on of the most incompetent governments NZ has had in my lifetime, CLuxon has some major FIGJAM energy. Maybe he suffers from Dunning-Kruger?

"The question that you might have asked in the abstract until now is; how would these guys have handled COVID? Well now we know, they'd have been shit at it ... I think you'd have seen them do too little to begin with, and tell us regretfully after deaths were in their thousands, it's too late to do anything."

There's a lot Andrew Coster needs to be held to account for, given his role in the McSkimmings affair. But Lara Greaves mentions his resignation from his role as the Secretary for Social Investment and chief executive of the Social Investment Agency;
Coster could have just passed the buck and stayed on the gravy train. As politicians on the right have routinely done over the last couple of decades. So credit where credit is due.

"Chris Bishop, minister in charge of these things now, he's in this RNZ article saying, 'oh no don't be concerned, it's all set to just measure recent use'."
#ChrisFowlie, 2025
https://feeds.95bfm.com/link/22115/17208884/marijuana-media-with-chris-fowlie-13-november-2025
Which as explained in this podcast, in detail, is 100% bollox.
I'm not sure which RNZ article Fowlie means. But assuming this is true, either Bishop (tobacco industry lobbyist) doesn't know what he's talking about, or he's blatantly lying to the public.

#HatTip to Freak the Sheep for exposing me to this righteous spoken word track.

Dominic is also known as Tourettes, maybe that track is here somewhere? Have a dig ...

Chris Fowlie discusses the use of hemp to replace the plastic component of wool carpet, and weed mats in the Manawatu Gorge;
https://feeds.95bfm.com/link/22115/17204660/marijuana-media-with-chris-fowlie-6-november-2025I wonder if hemp could be used to make biodegradable hay bail wrap for farms, to replace the huge amount of soft plastic they use every year.

"If you think about how quickly AI has ... taken over society, the advent of email took about 20 years to ... become what it is. Smartphones about 10 years. AI has ... ballooned in 2 years time."

"A large federally-funded study coming out of [US]America, published in Nature, 'marijuana users have enhanced cognitive abilities' ... [they] analysed brain imaging and cognitive data, from 37929 people. The cannabis consumers consistently outperformed the non-users in the cognitive tests. They had brain network characteristics typically associated with younger brains."

"... things keep getting kicked down the road ... if we don't achieve big action, we have a terrible crisis coming."
#DavidSlack, 2025
https://feeds.95bfm.com/link/18452/17049812/political-commentary-with-david-slack-june-12-2025
He's talking about action on climate change and renewable energy in particular here, but this sums up our political situation in general. Extraction-as-usual can not continue much longer without risking total social breakdown. Just look at what's happening in the US.

"Using some mapping we found that the rooftops of 14 of Auckland's largest buildings would have the same land area as the largest solar farm under construction [in Aotearoa]. So we could potentially be distributing those solar panels in our city ..."

Ever since I heard Uh-Oh by The Subliminals the other day it's been a total earworm. Now I'm #listening the album it comes from, United State, released in 2000;
https://thesubliminals.bandcamp.com/album/united-state
This has aged very well IMHO. Equal parts 3Ds-esque psychedelic rock, and HDU style mathrock, it's upbeat but unapologetically quirky. Great fun. Totally recommended.
#HatTip to Freak the Sheep on #95bFM for reminding me they exist.

If you're using for health reasons, get your prescription!

🧵 (3/13)
:ofmdPirateFlagCat: Rhys Darby
Rhys was on 95bFM Kids' Show talking about BadJelly! You can check it out here: https://95bfm.com/bcast/kids-show-interview-finn-talks-to-badjellys-rhys-darby
(Image source: https://bsky.app/profile/rhysiedarby.bsky.social/post/3lfo45xnrl22p)Rhys is back in LA! He left a long message for the Paid Substack subscribers - here's a couple paragraphs on how he and the rest of the family are fairing. If you'd like to read the full note, it is on his paid substack (https://rhysiedarby.substack.com/p/the-darby-files)!
"Happy New Year? Not really if you live in LA. I mean, I was in New Zealand until the 10th and tbh all was dandy but just before we were due to fly home the devastating wildfires took hold. Some folks back home thought we were mad to return but of course we had to get back for the pets first and foremost. Our housesitter had everything under control with instructions on what to put in the getaway car in case of an urgent evac.
Thankfully for us that didn't occur (yet, as I'm writing this whilst touching wood) but we did take in a family straight away once we arrived home. Some friends had their evacuation orders and so we opened our door to them and their keepsakes. Then we've been glued to the news and the fire app ever since."Rhys is really excited for his Austin show! You can still get tickets at CapCity Comedy for the below dates and times:

#ChrisFowlie goes all through a list of false positives that can occur with the government's proposed roadside drug testing tech;
"Speaking of going to the dentist, if you have some lidocaine you'll test positive for cocaine. If you're on a painkiller of some sort, you'll test positive for heroin. If you're on Ritalin you'll test positive for meth."

"Join your union, because there's more support through the union, and it was of course the unions that took on Air NZ and got that Supreme Court case."

Chris is referring to a case discussed earlier in the segment, where the court ruled that mandated drug testing is an invasion of privacy, and only justified in the workplace in very specific safety situations.

https://feeds.95bfm.com/link/22115/16871366/marijuana-media-thanks-to-the-hempstore-31st-october-2024Just to put that in context, that's enough to pay 20 people to work fulltime for 3 years, at $100 an hour. This is the kind of public money sloshing around. Seems like you just need to be in the right place at the right time, or maybe know the right people ...

Apparently the Biden administration are in the process of effectively decriminalising cannabis at the US federal level. I wonder if the next Presidency will reverse that, do nothing, or extend it to a regulated commercial supply?
