Andrew Little has released the draft bill which has the purchasing age of 20.
The issue of legalising cannabis will be put to a public vote at next year's election.
Little says people in their early teens or younger are getting access to cannabis at the moment.
He says the government wants a regime where young people don't get access to it and where the age of first use is pushed up.
