The New Zealand government has agreed to the establishment of a medicinal cannabis industry to improve patient access to medicinal cannabis products. The New Zealand Medicinal Cannabis Council (NZMCC) is a peak body for the sector to coordinate and represent organisations involved in all aspects of the new industry. The Council is building an inclusive platform that identifies and communicates common priorities for the medicinal cannabis industry in New Zealand, ensuring well-considered development of the sector to deliver the highest quality and most accessible medicinal cannabis products to New Zealanders.
