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:
- Completing an online registration
- Speaking with a doctor via telehealth consultation
- Receiving prescription support if clinically appropriate
Medicinal cannabis products supplied in New Zealand must meet strict quality and compliance standards.
At Cannalyze, we aim to make the process simple, professional, and easy to understand.
