Is Medicinal Cannabis Legal in New Zealand?

Yes — medicinal cannabis is legal in New Zealand when prescribed by a registered doctor.

Patients cannot legally purchase medicinal cannabis products without a prescription. A consultation with a qualified healthcare professional is required to determine whether treatment may be appropriate.

The process typically involves:

  1. Completing an online registration
  2. Speaking with a doctor via telehealth consultation
  3. Receiving prescription support if clinically appropriate

Medicinal cannabis products supplied in New Zealand must meet strict quality and compliance standards.
