Former Nelson Mayor Aldo Miccio chairs the medical cannabis company Medical Kiwi, which has opened a pain clinic in Nelson.
Medical Kiwi had previously planned to open a site in Brightwater that would have provided “significant economic benefits” to the region, including 245 jobs.
Miccio said while the company was still leasing the Brightwater land, the proposed facility was suspended two years ago as it would take too long to build from scratch.
Instead, the company had set up a “world-class” cannabis cultivation and drying facility in Christchurch, he said.
In 2021, Medical Kiwi admitted to violating the fair treatment provisions of the Financial Markets Conduct Act and agreed to reimburse investors.
Miccio said this issue had been clarified and completed.
He said the Pain Clinic was scheduled to expand to Australia by the end of the year.
The clinical advisor at the pain clinic, Dr. Tom Mullholland, attended the opening of the Nelson Clinic on Monday, where he filed a petition for the health benefits of medical cannabis to be taken seriously.
Mullholland cited research by the Faculty of Pain Medicine of the College of Anesthetists of Australia and New Zealand, saying chronic pain cost New Zealand more than diabetes or dementia, but there was no plan. comprehensive to address it.
The Pain Clinic was launched in March as a national online service, with a Christchurch center open in April.
