The medicinal cannabis market has been a long, hard road for NZ players and the patience of retail investors is wearing thin.    

We talk to Ruatoria based Rua Bioscience about why it's pinning its hopes on a pivot from cultivation and manufacturing, to selling cannabis genetics overseas. 

Rua CEO Paul Naske sees significant growth as new legal frameworks in western countries make way for the medicinal cannabis market —estimated to be just 10 percent of the black market. 

And we hear about Rua’s compassionate programme that helps those prescribed medicinal cannabis but can’t afford it.
