Today we have continue our korero with Porourangi, and explore more of our hopes and fears about the future looks like regarding cannabis in our country, as well as exciting ongoing projects that are developing through engaging with rangatahi and education in Ruatorea. The kaupapa is to improve whānau's opportunities to enjoy life and grow. This is part two of a two episode korero.

Today we are joined by our first guest, Porourangi Tawhiwhirangi from E3C, who shares his relationship with cannabis and the vision he holds for the future. A very interesting journey that goes from humble beginnings to an ambitious plan to create oportunities for rangatahi on Te Tairāwhiti. We are fortunate to share his story and his knowledge through this korero and hope it helps grow our whānau's understanding of cannabis in Aotearoa New Zealand. This is part one of a two episode korero. 

Kia ora and welcome back! We are starting this korero up by sharing our personal stories of how we got introduced to the cannabis family and how our relationships with the plant have evolved since then. It's an open love letter to those on a journey of understanding what cannabis do for our lives and how to best engage with it. We talk from a point in our lives in which there is an understanding of the risks and harms as well as the benefits and advantages of using cannabis in different contexts and through a variety of methods, but in no way we claim to be the ultimate truth in any of these fronts. This is the view from where we stand after meeting on our way up the mountain, we hope we can hear about the view from where we stand and help each other light the way to the top. We hope this message reaches you with love and good health.

Kia ora! And welcome to this new podcast dedicated to a cannabis from a ground level perspective, in other words by whānau, for whānau. We invite you to listen to a little taste of what we have in store and hopefully, you’ll want to come back for more.
