The Cannabis Clinic, New Zealand’s premier healthcare
provider dedicated to pioneering advancements in plant-based
medicine, proudly announces the launch of its first-ever
“420 Day” nationwide billboards. These bold visual
statements symbolise the Clinic’s commitment to
destigmatising medicinal cannabis and championing accessible
healthcare solutions nationwide.
420 Day occurs
annually on April 20th and is an unofficial holiday
originating in California. The tradition dates back to the
1970s when a group of friends would gather together to enjoy
cannabis at 4:20 pm each day, adopting the number “420” as
their code. Today, people around the world celebrate all
things cannabis on what’s often referred to as the
“unofficial cannabis holiday.”
Since
its inception in 2019, The Cannabis Clinic has been at the
forefront of revolutionising healthcare in New Zealand.
Co-founded by Dr. Waseem Alzaher and Lisa Peterson, the
Clinic has offered expert consultations and personalised
treatment plans to over 30,000 Kiwis seeking to enhance
their well-being.
Dr. Alzaher says, “The Cannabis
Clinic’s 420 Day billboards serve as a tongue-in-cheek
approach as our head office is based off state highway exit
420 in Takapuna, Auckland. And no, the building wasn’t
strategically purchased because of this; it was a
serendipitous event that makes new staff members and clients
have a chuckle.’’

‘’420 is generally a
recreational term, a lot of people who use cannabis
medically find that legal access is a relief for them. We
bridge the gap for those who are doing things illegally for
the right reasons,” adds Dr Alzaher.
‘’The
Cannabis Clinic has a pivotal role in reshaping New
Zealand’s healthcare landscape, we are breaking down
barriers of stigmatisation,” Dr. Alzaher states. “Our
dedication is to provide quality care to our patients but
also highlight the significant strides we’re making in
advancing medicinal cannabis accessibility across the
nation.” Through innovative practices and unwavering
dedication, the Cannabis Clinic stands poised to lead Kiwis
toward a future of improved health and vitality.
With
physical clinics in Auckland, Nelson, and Hawkes Bay, as
well as telehealth consultations available, the Cannabis
Clinic remains committed to meeting the diverse needs of
patients across New Zealand. By offering comprehensive care
and fostering a supportive environment, the Cannabis Clinic
continues to empower individuals on their journey to
holistic
well-being.
