The upper Octagon lawn would be off-limits because the Dunedin City Council had asked the group to "stay off the grass", a press release from Dunedin Cannabis said. J Day in Dunedin would feature music, protest, provision of information and friends reconnecting after Covid-19, Dunedin Cannabis said. "With election year coming, the Dunedin cannabis community hopes that Covid, inflation and identity politics don't drown out the conversation that 48.4% of the population want to see purposeful change on."
