The Habitual Fix chain has been told to remove its advertising for the
drink, which included slogans like "Just ask your dealer" and "Don't
panic, we also do munchies", the New Zealand Herald reports.
The smoothies, which contain hemp oil, cucumber, mint, yoghurt and
apple juice, were being sold in a cup emblazoned with a cannabis leaf
and were advertised as having positive health benefits, the website
says. Now the Ministry of Primary Industries has told the company to
remove all drug references and health claims from the adverts.

based protein. This quality alone has made hemp protein a desirable
addition to vegan and raw food diets but you certainly don’t have to
follow a specific diet to enjoy the benefits of this plant powerhouse!

What crop can be grown without pesticides and has over 25,000 uses —
from textiles, cosmetics, paper and food to medicine, biofuel and
smoothies?
If you said hemp, you got it. My wife, Carol, knows the excellent
nutritional value of hemp seeds and luckily for me, has been putting
them in my smoothies for years!
Not to be confused with marijuana, hemp contains less than 0.3
percent of the psychoactive component THC, while marijuana contains
between 5 and 20 percent. In other words, you can’t get high from hemp!
