The public moderated panel discussion on cannabis use is to raise the debate and inform voters in the NZ referendum 2020 with evidence based Dunedin and Christchurch longitudinal study. The directors of the two studies and the NCLR, Professors Richie Poulton, Joseph Boden and Dr Moana Theodore will discuss key findings from the studies. In sharing these study findings they hope to support an evidence-informed approach when New Zealanders enter the voting booth in 2020.
