Aotearoa Patient Advocates is a patient oriented organization committed to making cannabis legally available for medicinal purposes and assisting and helping protect sick, dying and disabled patients in Aotearoa/New Zealand who use, or who are considering the use of cannabis medicinally.
We empower patients by helping them resource the information and evidence needed to gain their doctor’s support for the use of medical cannabis. They are then issued with a certificate confirming their status as a registered medical user; should such proof ever be required. This reduces the chances of a successful prosecution to near zero.

For over 3000 years, cannabis has been used safely and effectively as a medicine and is currently being prescribed by doctors to people in a growing number of countries around the world suffering from cancer, MS, chronic pain, glaucoma, HIV and many other conditions.
A large number of New Zealanders choose to use cannabis therapeutically, many as a complement to their regular prescription medications.
