Rules and red tape holding back cannabis industry
New Zealand has very few ventures producing medicinal cannabis, and the one that’s doing really well doesn’t sell directly to New Zealanders.
If cannabis were legalised, the New Zealand industry could employ about 5000 people and reap almost $1.1 billion in taxes a year, two in-depth reports by Business and Economic Research Ltd have shown.
We haven’t ended up with that promise of cannabis in NZ.
This Medicinal Cannabis Industry is a rigged market just like the Supermarket industry that has allowed basic refined medicine that gives none of the enjoyment of cannabis for a product that should have always been available for people with seizures.
This isn’t a success, it’s another broken market rigged for the super rich.
Right now, Chemist Warehouse are offering Medicinal Cannabis at 25% less than the Green Drs!.
The only winners are organised crime who continue to sell to a market of stoners who refuse to engage in the profit margins of the corporate pharmaceutical industry.
The failures of the Medicinal Cannabis market manages to highlight all the problems with NZ Capitalism – no ability to actually deliver.
How the Christ have we managed to take a country like NZ, the creates some of the best cannabis in the world, and created a monopoly for Australian cannabis?
I’m not looking for socialism from the NZ Government any longer, just basic regulated Capitalism!
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.

Also the police can stop wasting time on it and spend more time to spend on other things.
Investigating white collar crime, tax evasion and government corruption for instance.
Courts will not longer waste time prosecuting people for cannabis possession. Judges and lawyers can spend more time investigating miscarriages of justice caused by police malpractice.
all those things I am certain that all politicians want to see.
So true. All the green fairies that were arrested was diabolical.
So stupid it’s not legal. This is one of the big failures of Jacinda’s government.
This sums government up, talk tough on crime, with a leg up for criminals at the same time.
Meanwhile our youth are killing themselves in droves on P.
Time to let the adults run the joint.
