With more and more licences being granted for New Zealand companies to grow and sell medicinal cannabis, could we be looking at an abundance of medical cannabis cultivars being grown under strict regulation and nonmedical cannabis also known as Hemp taking over the Canterbury Plains?

Of course, there is nothing new about the plant itself, but there is limited knowledge about the genetic variation of crops and why two regulatory regimes around cannabis plant as medicinal cannabis and Hemp. Focused research and trials are required to understand more about this fascinating plant and create a standardisation which is a major requirement and current stumbling block for medicinal cannabis reaching the market.

With a massive increase in the interest and growing of hemp and hemp products over the last couple of years, can we draw conclusions about the crop that can be translated to the cultivation of medicinal cannabis? What could this mean for this industry and for the opinion of consumers?

Join us to hear from the industry professionals leading the way in the cultivation of this plant on what they think the future of medicinal cannabis may look like.
