Column 1

Honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi:

Drug law is part of the wider colonial system that has harmed Māori. The Crown has obligations to reverse those harms and actively protect Māori health, wellbeing, and rangatiratanga in drug policy.

Ecological Wisdom:

Drug production, trade, use and enforcement must be constrained by the wellbeing limits of the communities and ecosystems that they operate within.

Social Responsibility:

Substance-related harm should be treated as a health issue, with a focus on root causes and equity.
