Please send a submission by 21 March
The best way to support affordable access to proven plant-based products right now is to make a submission on the Misuse of Drugs (Medical Cannabis) Amendment Bill by Wednesday 21 March 2018.
Hikurangi Group and the people we aim to provide proven plant-based products to need your help today.
We're making a submission on the new legislation and including four important points:
- cannabidiol (CBD) needs to be treated the same as other non-THC cannabinoids, and medicines should be controlled by the level of THC they contain, not other non-psychoactive cannabinoids;
- if we are to have a viable domestic medical cannabis industry that can make medicines cheaper for NZ patients, the law must allow us to export;
- people with cannabis convictions should be able to work in the industry if they are properly supported and supervised;
- regardless of the condition, anyone with the explicit professional support of their doctor - and a person who supplies the specified cannabis product to the patient - should be immune from prosecution.
Submissions can be sent via email to the Clerk of the Health Select Committee at: he@parliament.govt.nz or you can make your submission on the Parliament website.
We've provided a submission guide and template to download.
Please encourage your family, friends and workmates to make a submission - long or short, by this Wednesday.
Ngā mihi! Thank you.
