    An Otago University researcher believes the cannabis referendum has enough safeguards to protect young people

    An Otago University researcher believes the cannabis referendum has enough safeguards to protect young people


    Joe Boden conducted a study into cannabis use in adolescence.

    He says the age limit of 20 avoids brain development issues.

    He says the real problem is between 15 to 18.

    Boden says research shows legalisation would have a positive impact on numbers of under-20s using cannabis.
