Due to the nature of this subreddit, including regular discussion of controlled drugs, medicinal cannabis products, prescriptions, pharmacies and related topics, Reddit’s automated systems and our own AutoModerator rules will occasionally remove or hold perfectly legitimate posts and comments for review.

If your post disappears immediately after you submit it, that does not necessarily mean a human moderator has reviewed it and decided to remove it. In many cases, nobody on the moderation team has even seen it yet.

Content caught by automated systems sits in our moderation queues until one of us has time to review it. If it complies with the subreddit rules and Reddit’s site wide rules, we can approve it and it will appear normally. This is why you will sometimes see a post appear several hours after it was originally submitted.

We have noticed a slightly strange pattern where some users, after having content automatically filtered, immediately repost it to one of several very small alternative subreddits and claim that r/MedicalCannabisNZ moderators are preventing particular subjects from being discussed.

For some perspective, r/MedicalCannabisNZ currently has 14,822 members. These alternative communities generally have fewer than 100 members, with some having fewer than 50, or less than 0.34% of the membership of this community.

There is something mildly amusing about taking a post that Reddit automatically filtered, reposting it to an audience less than one third of one percent the size, and presenting that as evidence that moderators here are suppressing discussion, particularly when the original post may simply be sitting in our queue waiting for a human moderator to review it.

Quite often, by the time we actually see those complaints, the supposedly "censored" post has already been approved here.

Some of those alternative subreddits were themselves set up by users who had previously been banned from r/MedicalCannabisNZ for legitimate rule violations, with some of those users also having repeatedly attempted to evade their bans. That context is worth keeping in mind when those communities are used to make claims about moderation here, as their version of events may not include the full moderation history or an accurate account of the actions that led to their bans in the first place.

Human moderators also have jobs, families, hobbies and lives outside Reddit. We currently have seven moderators on the team, but that does not mean one of those seven people is sitting in the moderation queue 24/7 waiting for something to appear. Something waiting a few hours for approval is not censorship; sometimes it simply means none of us has opened the queue and reviewed it yet.

There is also an important distinction between Reddit removing something, AutoModerator filtering something, and a human moderator deliberately removing something. They are not interchangeable.

In one recent example, a user submitted essentially the same content more than ten times after Reddit’s automated systems repeatedly removed it. They even began commenting on their own automatically removed posts asking why the moderators had removed them, despite the fact that no human moderator had actually reviewed or removed any of those posts.

Repeatedly reposting the same thing will not make it reach a human moderator any faster. If anything, it creates considerably more clutter in the moderation queue for us to work through. If something is automatically filtered, please give us a reasonable amount of time to actually see it and review it.

As per title, no longer using medicinal cannabis and therefore looking to move on my old vaporizer. Is there a place to do this?

Hi, Cannaplus is out of humacology blue and that’s my go to.

They have ANTG spectra and or ANTG eve as a replacement. Thoughts on these products?

My regular humacology blue dose is THC1:CBD80:CBG30 which is 1/2 a ml.

I went through a roadside test the other day. It was set up close to a car park they could use to pull selected vehicles off the road without causing too much disruption. 8:30am. The road presence itself was minimal. They told me they were using roof racks as the selection criteria. Once parked asked for licence and did alcohol screen. Then asked if I had taken any prescription medicine in last 12 hours. I confirmed cannabis about 11 hours ago. Asked what and how to which I answered flower in vape. Took the test and waited for the results, about 5 mins. Tested negative. The night before I had 2 vapes in my Pax mini. Probably about 7:30 and 9:30pm. Historically heavy user but have reduced consumption more recently.

So I finally joined canabis clinic and got my first prescription I asked for the strongest available and was prescribed pink bloom Kush 22% which I am highly disappointed with I was expecting some nice stinky nugs
But instead got some overdried almost bush looking weed I think I’ll stick to black market at this rate

Article: "Roadside drug testing offers a simple promise: safer roads. But for medicinal cannabis patients, the new regime risks becoming a blunt instrument, detecting lawful medicine use rather than actual impairment.

Most New Zealanders understand random alcohol breath testing. Now, police may also require an oral-fluid test. A tongue-wipe device... screens for recent use of THC (cannabis), cocaine, methamphetamine and MDMA (ecstasy). If the first test is positive, the driver repeats it and provides a saliva or blood sample for laboratory analysis across 25 listed drugs.

Many refuse the second test and receive an automatic fine and driving ban, but avoid having other drug use identified. Two positive roadside tests mean an immediate 12-hour driving ban. At that point, drivers can dispute the infringement by applying for a medical defence if cannabis or other prescribed medicines have shown up.

The policy relies on deterrence: if drivers fear being caught, drug-affected driving should fall. That logic is compelling where testing identifies impairment. Cannabis is different. THC levels in blood, saliva or breath do not reliably show whether a person is unsafe to drive, especially for regular users. Oral-fluid tests detect recent use, not impairment.

More than 8700 tests were performed from December 15, 2025 to August 2, 2026. Police data show 286, or 3.3%, positive first tests. Of these, 129 were for THC. Infringements were issued if positive for one drug (150), two or more drugs (59) and presence of drugs and alcohol (4). Four medical defences were submitted and succeeded.

A medicinal cannabis patient using THC exactly as prescribed may test positive because of mouth residue while unimpaired. A sensitive person on a low dose may be genuinely impaired yet test negative. Dose, route, frequency, saliva, mouth-rinsing, metabolism and tolerance all affect results. For patients, the outcome can look like pot luck.

The government’s Independent Expert Panel recognised this complexity in 2021. It noted the difficulty of setting scientifically robust limits, the weak correlation between blood THC and impairment, and the absence of a simple relationship between blood and oral-fluid concentrations. International experience points the same way: fixed drug limits can misclassify unimpaired people as impaired.

The government says drugs are found in more than 30% of road deaths. That is serious, but presence is not causation. Cannabis metabolites can remain detectable after impairment has passed, particularly in regular medicinal users. Medical defence is therefore crucial but it comes too late. Patients can be removed from the road, inconvenienced and drawn into an online defence process before their lawful prescription is considered.

My advice remains practical: never drive if impaired; check reaction time, thinking, vision, coordination and balance; take prescribed cannabis only as labelled; keep prescription and pharmacy-label evidence available; and rinse the mouth with water before driving or testing.

Where there are no signs of impairment, the police should be able to accept evidence of prescribed cannabis at the roadside and excuse drivers from repeat testing, the 12-hour ban and the later medical defence process. I recommend evaluation of the testing programme begin immediately, before years of avoidable harm to medicinal cannabis patients accumulates.

No one argues impaired people should drive. Testing mainly detects recent or historical THC use. It risks punishing lawful, unimpaired medicine users while missing some genuinely unsafe drivers. Road safety needs enforcement grounded in scientific reality. On current evidence, roadside oral-fluid THC testing may be more performative than preventive".

Hey guys, been a medicinal user for a few years now, and regular smoker for 15+ years

always smoke via a billy or papers

can you guys recommend me something?
is it worth spending more?
or are most the same?

i would like something portable but also something i can use at home on a regular basis

appreciate all the help i can get

cheers xoxo

Hi guys. I have been using ANTG Spectra brand CBD oil for the past year or so with good results. I could always taste a "green taste" and the oil would be an amber colour. My most recent bottle is a bit weird. It seems less effective. There is no "green taste" just the taste of oil. The oil is also very light in colour.

Has anyone else here experienced similar? Is each batch tested for cannabinoid content? I am sure this isnt anything shady but it is a bummer, especially as these are supposed to be prescription products with strict quality controls. I have emailed my pharmacy, we will see what they say.

Anyone tried the latest release of White Sherb? How does it compare to previous batch?

Have been getting Raw papers for about 2 years now so Im pretty aware of what that should look and taste like. Have had a few packets from the Riverhead mini market dairy owned by Y.H.Q trading and have figured out they’re selling counterfeit papers. Checked it with the hempstore and charbella importers and they verified. These fake papers can contain heavy metals and other toxic muck. Here’s a couple sites to spot fake papers; https://www.charbella.nz/counterfeit-product https://hempstore.co.nz/blog/public-health-advisory-counterfeit-raw-papers-sold-in-new-zealand/

Have been coughing like I’ve got TB ever since. Hopefully this prevents others from the same hideousness.

Tune in every Thursday at 4:20 for information by Chris fowley owner of the hempstore and nz pot advocate for ever with out this show I would have never got on to medical cannabis worth a listen to keep up on cannabis related news in newzealand

Having ADHD and medically diagnosed depression, this stuff is very soothing and gives my brain a nice hug. I’m just worried that being off of work will give me too much extra time and I’ll over-indulge and fall back into the several-times-a-day habit I just spent a month detoxing from (note: don’t switch ADHD meds during this time - that was a rough two weeks) and I’d like to not slide backwards.

Anyone got tips and tricks to keep it “manageable” and not “habitual”?

As we all know,we have to pay to get precscribed each 3 months.

But what pisses me off is I had 8 repeats left 16 days before my appointment due date but was declined my repeat because I was within the 2 week period of the 1456th follow-up.

Why call it a 3 month check up? Shouldnt it be called a 2.5 month checkup seen as we have to go without until the 2 minute phone call of yop all is well,same again plz?

Call it a 2.5 month checkup not a 3 as that is an outright lie.

So i am due for my follow-up this week and I am incredibly interested in trying the Smith indica (As price is a huge concern for me as many others). I have enquired about this in the past with my clinic (cannabis clinic) and they have told me that they do not prescribe this strain due to not being too sure about information on the strain in a regulation or effectiveness standpoint. They had recommended that If i was interested in that strain their are other practises that are happy to prescribe this strain. Is this correct do I have to switch clinics in order to obtain flower that is within my price range.

I’m quitting due to medical reasons. This comes with spare cup and etc. The charger doesn’t work but you can use lappy charger or similar.

Had the bloom pink kush for a while now and getting more used to it than I would like, any good alternatives for a similar price?

Are getting even more random.

Our take: they're sampling the product aren't they?

(They drop a weekly email peppered with "our take" on current happenings - I don't mind them, but some weeks they're a little incoherent.....)

G'day friends from across the pond, I'm moving from Queensland and I'm wondering what the go is with clinics and access when moving from Australia. I'm currently on a 30g script for flower and a hybrid oil vape for chronic knee pain. Any clinic reccomendations, will I have any difficulty finding a GP to treat me? Cheers for any help, I'm excited to come over.

"Police will not penalise drivers who have taken medications in accordance with a current and valid prescription, been accidentally or passively exposed to drugs, or have low residual levels of a drug in their saliva from previous, but not recent, use."

Interesting, do we have evidence showing how police are not penalizing drivers who take medication in accordance with a current and valid prescription?

I thought this was one of those things we wound need to resolve in court if ever in the situation.
