Last year, for the first time in New Zealand, MedSafe gave approval to prescribe psilocybin - the hallucinogenic compound found in magic mushrooms. The approval was specific to one psychiatrist and gave them the authority to prescribe and administer psilocybin to any patient they have assessed and diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression. According to Health NZ there is work underway to make it easier for more healthcare practitioners to take on this work. This weekend the 'Auckland Mushroom Festival' is taking place along Karangahape Road, and our next guest will be speaking at the event. University of Auckland doctoral student Sam Lasham researches prohibited drug use and policy, harm reduction, and psychedelics. He chats to Jesse.

An Auckland business association says the government's move on orders are "inhumane and a bad idea". Planned law changes will mean police can move on rough sleepers or people displaying disorderly behaviour; including those as young as 14.

But the K-Road Business Association does not support move on orders. General manager Jamey Holloway spoke to Lisa Owen.

Auckland Transport has been forced to scale back its 'bus to the mall' campaign after facing pushback from local business owners. The campaign included a singing bus stop in Newmarket - but more controversially, billsticker posters placed throughout Auckland's small retail villages. Karangahape Road business owner Muy Chhour says this campaign is a 'kick in the guts' to local business owners in Auckland. "It's not good at all - it tarnishes the relationships with business districts and Auckland Transport. It takes away the customers from local businesses and takes them to the mall."

Since then, it's only had couple of portaloos on a nearby street for people to use and they're locked overnight.

Transport has jumped back into the spotlight in Auckland, as Stuff Senior Auckland Affairs Journalist Todd Niall explains. On Monday an 'interim' busway will enter service from Westgate into the city centre, after decades of indecision, and strangely discussion has already begun on what will follow it. And, Auckland Transport u-turns on its decision to cull carparks on Karangahape Road, following pressure from mayor Wayne Brown.

Car parks are about to vanish from the iconic K road entertainment and shopping strip, to make way for more public transport. But some businesses are not along for the ride. From Sunday, more buses will be travelling along Karangahape Road outside of peak hours too. As part of the new western express connecting west and northwest Auckland to the city, buses will run the route every ten minutes. Auckland Transport believes banning carparking at all times on K Road will mean more consistent bus trip times and help encourage more people onto public transport. But some business say there was little consultation, the change is a shock, and they rely heavily on park and pop in customers. But late this afternoon Auckland Transport decided to pump the brakes on changes to the bus lane operating hours and apologised for not managing the process as well as it could. The extended bus lane hours wont come in until February next year. Karangahape road Business Association chairperson Muy Chhour, who runs the popular Lim Chhour Supermarket, speaks to Lisa Owen.

Local shop owners say there's been no consultation. Jordan Dunn reports.
