Submitted by Marijuana News on Fri, 07/29/2016 - 09:51

One in 20 New Zealand citizens acknowledge having used cannabis for therapeutic purposes over the past year, according to an analysis of nationwide health survey data published in the New Zealand Medical Journal.

Respondents were most likely to acknowledge using cannabis to mitigate symptoms of pain, anxiety, depression, and nausea.

The possession and use of cannabis, including its medicinal use, is criminalized in New Zealand.

Full text of the study, “New Zealand Health Survey 2012/13: characteristics of medicinal cannabis users,” appears in the New Zealand Medical Journal.
