Topic: Medical Marijuana
Medicinal Cannabis Bill - a political or medical issue?
Come and hear arguments for and against at a
PUBLIC MEETING
and presentation with Green MP Metiria Turei
Medicinal cannabis is available in a number of countries, including Canada, Germany and the Netherlands and in nine states in the USA
Metiria Turei’s Misuse of Drugs (Medicinal Cannabis) Bill means sufferers of some serious illnesses may soon have the option of being prescribed cannabis to help alleviate their symptoms.
“In New Zealand, strict regulation of medicinal cannabis and supervision of use by a doctor will allow patients access to an effective medicine and prevent the unjust conviction of those for whom it provides relief from their illness.”
Do you agree?
