New Poll Shows More Support for Medicinal Cannabis Law Reform in New Zealand

Submitted by Marijuana News on Mon, 08/29/2016 - 08:45

The tide is turning on medicinal cannabis law reform, with a new poll showing only one in eight people oppose safe and legal access to medicinal cannabis products prescribed by licensed doctors.

Former Council of Trade Unions (CTU) president Helen Kelly said the results put pressure on the Government to act now, rather than wait for a potential referendum in the future.

"Politicians now have the choice – force those who are mainly unwell to collect signatures simply so the public will be believed, or act quickly and with mercy and fix this mess up so people like me and many others have safe and legal guaranteed access."

Kelly, who has terminal lung cancer, has been using illegally sourced cannabis oil for pain relief since stepping down from her role with CTU in October 2015.

The poll was part of a UMR Research online survey, with cannabis related questions put to 500 people.
