"I seriously want to move there.
If they legalise pot, I'm jumping."
;-) Well they've already had the referendum. They just haven't announced the result.
If it's an indication, Jacinda Ardern has used cannabis in the distant past.
Other things are happening though. It is likely that the country will change its official name from the colonialist 'New Zealand' to 'Aotearoa', the Maori name for the country. Better than naming it after an exceedingly flat province in the Netherlands.

If I have pronounced it correctly, it's actually very pretty.
Ay-oh-tee-uh-roh-uh?

Yes, I agree. Whatever the original meaning might have been, it's better than the current name.
ao ("cloud, dawn, daytime or world"),
tea ("white, clear or bright") and
roa ("long").
It can also be broken up as Aotea = the name of one of the migratory canoes that travelled to New Zealand, and roa = long.
One literal translation is ‘long white cloud’,[2] commonly lengthened to ‘the land of the long white cloud’.[5] Alternative translations are ‘long bright world’ or ‘land of abiding day’ referring to the length and quality of the New Zealand daylight (when compared to the shorter days found further north in Polynesia).
