New research could prove ground-breaking for cannabis agritech
A joint research project could prove to be a game-changer for New Zealand’s cannabis industry.
Cannabis prohibition doesn’t work anywhere. It’s New Zealand’s turn to legalise it.
In New Zealand, cannabis is classified as an illegal drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975. Its possession, use and supply are subject variously to penalties ranging in severity from fines to many years of imprisonment. On Wednesday, the Helen Clark Foundation released a report which sets out the case for legalising and regulating cannabis. New Zealanders have the opportunity to vote for that in a referendum next year.
