Meet Rebecca Reider: The woman who legally brought cannabis into New Zealand without a sniff from Customs

Submitted by Marijuana News on Fri, 08/26/2016 - 09:18

Rebecca Reider says she's feeling a bit stoned.  

She's standing in the garden, admiring the size and health of her broad beans.

A TV3 crew have just visited moments before, to film the Californian-born Golden Bay resident smoking New Zealand's first legal buds since they were outlawed in the 1960s, from her stained glass pipe. 

Environmental activist Rebecca Reider hopes to pave the way for others to have the right to use medicinal cannabis.

After she shows off the broad beans, Reider moves to a comfy couch in the sun on the verandah to stroke Pablo, her fluffy black cat who is purring loudly.

The interior of her Collingwood home seems almost empty, apart from a bookcase lined mainly with environmental books, a silver Macbook on an empty desk and a few floor cushions.

This week, the 37-year-old Californian-born Golden Bay resident made history by bringing the first legal cannabis into New Zealand - without so much as a raised eyebrow.
