Street view: What are your thoughts on medicinal cannabis?


Get rid of it all together because it affects a lot of people and sometimes it makes people kill other people because they don't really know what they are doing.
GEFFREY MORGAN, 73
Kawaha Point


I have mixed views. There are pros and
cons.
CALLISTA PIERCY, 41
Central


I suppose if it's really chronic or terminal and the right processes have been taken, then it's better.
TRISH GORDON, 31
Pukehangi


I believe for medical reasons yes it should be decriminalised and the Government is making too much money from fines and wasting resources dealing with it when there are more important issues that time and energy need to go in to.

Drugs are dangerous. I think less addictive alternatives would be more wise. Drugs lead to other drugs.
