Patrick Gower: On Weed

Part 1: Medicinal Cannabis (1x1)

Fecha de emisión: Sept 11, 2019

The first hour-long episode uncovers the reality of present-day ‘green fairies’ – everyday people risking jail to help those in pain and suffering – and their patients in New Zealand. Paddy’s exploration of the real, raw medicinal cannabis underground is interspersed with his own journey of reflection on whether it could have helped ease the suffering of his late mother. There’s a look at the burgeoning domestic industry, from Hamilton’s research-heavy Cannasouth to Ruatoria’s grassroots Hikurangi to Auckland’s slick Helius, and a comparison with the fully-fledged markets in many US states and Canada.
