Here are suggestions, then, from this bill, tightening up the regulations to make this framework more enduring. For licence holders, there must be no history of a serious offence, no history of controlled drug habituation, and no associations adverse to the intent of the bill. This is very similar to what Australia does. For employees, they should not be currently addicted or habituated and not currently an active gang member. There is a very clear and overwhelming association between gangs and the drug trade. The Attorney-General has formed an interpretation on this point that while there is a clear connection between gangs and drugs, the prohibition on their employment is not a proportional response to the rights of freedom of association. I disagree, and I suggest we put this to the court of public opinion—if they think active gang members should be employed in the medicinal cannabis industry. Finally, locations where medicinal cannabis can be currently grown are wrong. It should not be allowed to be grown alongside a wāhi tapu, school, or residential area.
