New Zealand to hold cannabis referendum within three years
20 October 2017
New Zealand will hold a referendum on legalising the recreational use of cannabis in the next three years, its prime minister-elect has pledged.

She reiterated her support for a referendum on legalising personal cannabis use, saying she had "always been very open" about her opposition to criminalisation.

"On the flip side," she added, "I also have concerns around young people accessing a product which can clearly do harm and damage to them."
She said she wanted to hear New Zealanders' views and would consider carefully the wording of any referendum question.

Shouldn't it be called a reeferendum?

I'm all for decriminalisation so people are not convicted for having pot, but smoke is smoke and if the policy of banning tobacco is eventually enforced, then there can be no justification to change legislation to allow the smoking of cannabis.

Not sure if she's a chuffer herself

Hi Khartoum

Should the people vote in favour, will it include all type of cannabis substances do you know ?. I have cancer, and am looking for a particular type of Hemp Oil, but can't find it legally, if I could get it in New Zealand this would be a great help to me.

Tonics, is this referendum timely enough for your current condition?

"New Zealand to hold cannabis referendum within three years."

Hi taarbarang

The head Oncologist at the hospital, has estimated I have 18 months left with my current cancer condition. So I doubt the New Zealand referendum would be any good to me.

Hi Tonika, the referendum will be for recreational use. There are moves afoot to allow medical cannabis more accessible, e.g. Pharmac

Sorry to read about your situation and feel free to PM me to discuss stuff

EDIT- mistakenly put Pharmac on that link, sorry. Don't know what cancer you have but would urge you to check out the drug Keytruda
