Description

Former Canadian deputy prime minister Anne McLellan, who led the task force advising the government on what a regulated marijuana market should look like, was in Wellington earlier this month to talk to the New Zealand Drug Foundation’s parliamentary symposium about what she did and why. She discussed the failures of cannabis prohibition, how much you will be allowed to carry under the new laws, and the pressure of having the world watching a revolutionary experiment in drug reform.This video is sponsored by the New Zealand Drug Foundation.
