Medicinal cannabis manufacturers are sighing with relief as regulations for the production and export of their product are being relaxed.
The government has approved changes to New Zealand's Medicinal Cannabis Scheme which will make patients' prescriptions cheaper.
Cabinet released the changes in July and Medsafe, which regulates medicines, says the medicinal cannabis industry will be able to reach a larger market with the changes.
Sally Wenley spoke to Bruce Wallace of Helius Therapeutics, who says the changes will eliminate unfair barriers for local producers.
