Information
Clear The Smoke addresses an important and topical issue within the changing pharmaceutical landscape, aiming to shift medicinal cannabis stigma through the sharing of stories from the New Zealand medical cannabis community. Pre-empting a need for design to bring a segment of the New Zealand public into the cannabis conversation due to public confusion over it’s dual status as a recreational drug and wonder medicine. Delivered through a non-traditional and engaging Instagram format, this platform lays an initial stepping stone for an informed discussion about the future of medical cannabis within Aotearoa, whilst actively supporting the right for patient’s choice of treatment.
