The changes to New Zealand’s medical cannabis export regulations are being called a ‘game changer’.
Exports will now only have to meet the standards of the importing jurisdiction, rather than New Zealand’s standards.
It will also streamline the licensing process for growers, and update testing and laboratory requirements.
Sally King, Director of the New Zealand Medical Cannabis Council, told Ryan Bridge that it’s one of those examples of overregulation that is being untangled.
She said that at the moment we don’t export much medical cannabis at all, but the change is really going to open up the opportunity for New Zealand cultivators and manufacturers.
