In this latest episode of Greendorphin World News, Arik is reporting from Auckland, New Zealand where patients marched for medical cannabis legalisation on the 2nd of September 2017.
“It’s not the matter of ‘if’ the law will change, it’s now just the matter of when.” Pearl Schomburg, Auckland Patients Group Coordinator said to the group of protesters.
The march through Queen Street in the heart of Auckland is another display of Kiwis growing increasingly impatient with the outdated cannabis policies their lawmakers are still applying.
“What advice do you have for the patients when the only thing that eases their suffering criminalises them and their loved ones? What do you say to the parents of children desperately needing cannabis to control brain damaging seizures and to acquire a quality of life not available with pharmaceutical products?
Why should patients who can be denied the right to cheaply grow and use this harmless plant to alleviate symptoms of suffering and illness in themselves and in their loved ones.”

I have a bachelor degree of Agricultural Science and have studied plant production for 8 years. Meanwhile, I learned so much about plants that it was hard to miss the outstanding (quite incredible) qualities of this hugely versatile plant.
After university I went on to build a career and recently I had the opportunity to return to this most passionate area of my life and have been writing about a wide variety of topics on Cannabis and Hemp.
