Now new poll results show the majority of New Zealanders are now in favour of the use of medical marijuana.
The latest ONE News Colmar Brunton poll asked "Do you support or oppose the use of marijuana for medical purposes?"
Seventy-three per cent of people said they supported medical marijuana use, 21 per cent opposed it and six per cent were unsure.
Associate Health Minister Peter Dunne says he's not surprised by the results.
"I think that's about where I think public opinion is and in fact I would've voted 'yes' in the poll too," he says.
Mr Dunne says the government hopes to make more medical marijuana products available to Kiwis and is watching for the results of Australian research.
"I would expect the results of those tests would be available in a year or two and that's the point at which we can see if they've been approved in Australia and look to do likewise here."
