New Zealand: Push for conscience vote on cannabis

Push for conscience vote on cannabis

Greens to push for a conscience vote for MPs on the issue of medicinal
cannabis use

Green MP Metiria Turei concedes her bill to make medicinal cannabis a
legal treatment option is likely to be a dead duck if its voted on along
party lines.

She intends asking Parliament to support a motion to make it a
conscience issue.

Ms Turei says some MPs whose parties would vote the issue down, could
have a different point of view and a conscience vote would allow them to
express that.

She says she will talk to all MPs about the benefits of medicinal
cannabis to ensure they are fully informed before voting on the bill's
first reading.

Ms Turei says other developed nations allow for medicinal cannabis use.
