Will New Zealand Pass the Referendum on Cannabis Legalization?

After legalizing the distribution of Cannabis licenses to several businesses, Cannabis sales are increasing day by day. When the selling of Cannabis increased at that time, people of New Zealand decided whether they want the recreation of Cannabis production in their country or not. They decided in the general election by simply stating “yes” or “no” if they want to legalize Cannabis in their country.

Next year there will be elections held in New Zealand for the new government. At that time it will be decided if people want marijuana to be legal in New Zealand or not.

But due to the health benefits of Marijuana, the government is deciding to again legalize the use of the Marijuana in several states of New Zealand. But this can only happen when the people are casting their “yes” votes in the next election.

When they vote for their next government, New Zealanders will also check a box to either support or oppose the regulated adult-use marijuana industry. Justice Minister Andrew Little declared that the vote will be binding, but it will be up to the next administration to enact it after gaining power.

“The voters’ choice will be binding because of all of the parties that make up the current
The government has committed to abide by the outcome,” he said.
