Tim Aldridge: Puro co-founder on the regulations impacting cannabis distribution in NZ

from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB

New Zealand has a limited range of ventures producing medicinal cannabis - but the most successful distributor doesn't even sell directly to Kiwis. Medical marijuana company Puro has just signed a $16 million distribution deal in the UK, but co-founder Tim Aldridge says red tape is stopping the business from selling domestically. Aldridge says there's no manufacturing or packaging companies that can take their product - and they need to ship that out to Australia.
