I’m concerned that many voters have been led to believe a cannabis referendum ‘Yes vote’ equals a ‘Yes’ for medicinal cannabis. * Cannabis referendum: Judith Collins tries to smoke out Jacinda Ardern on how she'll vote* Cannabis referendum: What happened in other places that legalised it? * Cannabis referendum: I want my kids to be informed to make their own decision* Science and the NZ cannabis and euthanasia referendums* Cannabis referendum: Justice Minister Andrew Little rebuffs offer of toke on the street* Cannabis referendum: how NZ's ex-illicit growers are poised to transform the proposed legal market* Cannabis referendum: What it means for business and the New Zealand economyShould recreational cannabis be legalised it may become more commercially viable for local companies to also enter the medicinal cannabis market, however this is not a given. Last year I was in Montreal at a medicinal cannabis summit and spoke to one of the clinical directors of Spectrum Therapeutics, the medical arm of Canada’s largest medicinal cannabis company. This is a referendum on recreational cannabis use; medicinal cannabis is already legal and accessible.
