    Concerns by a cannabis medical company about confusion over the cannabis referendum

    Concerns by a cannabis medical company about confusion over the cannabis referendum


    An Eqalis Pharmaceutical survey has found 23 percent of respondents knew the issue was legal access for recreational use - but 27 percent thought it was for medical use.

    Most of the rest thought it was for both.

    Managing director Greg Mission says Kiwis might vote yes ... wrongly believing they're supporting medicinal cannabis treatment.



    Mission says the referendum is all about smoking weed.
