The Government's non-binding referendum on the legalisation of cannabis has divided the public. Details of the referendum were released this week on a proposed law change to allow the purchase and personal use of the drug by people over the age of 20. A poll from Research New Zealand shows there is not enough support for the change for personal use to go ahead with just 29% of those surveyed wanting legalisation. That's in stark contrast to the 84% who support medicinal cannabis being available here for the terminally ill. Research New Zealand Partner Emmanuel Kalafatelis speaks to Jim about the poll results.
