New Zealand is getting ready to vote on legalizing cannabis.

Jacinda Ardern, the country’s newly-elected prime minister, said she will work with her Cabinet for a national discussion on the matter.

“During the campaign I’ve always been very vocal about the fact that I do not believe people should be imprisoned for the personal use of cannabis,” Ardern said. “On the flip-side, I also have concerns around young people accessing a product which can clearly do harm and damage to them.”

Ardern is set to govern New Zealand with a coalition government made up of her own party, the Green party of New Zealand, and the populist party, NZ First.

The Green party advocates for a change in cannabis laws, stating the drug should be legal for personal use, cultivation and possession. The party wants to introduce a legal age limit as well, and remove penalties for anyone growing cannabis for medical use.

According to Ross Bell, executive director at New Zealand Drug Foundation, two thirds of the population are in favor of changing the laws, and he believes the Green Party allows for a conversation the country should have had a long time ago.

“It is over 40-years-old and like many other countries, successive governments have not wanted to engage on this issue,” Bell said.

Bell said New Zealand’s future model of cannabis policy should be similar to Canada’s, which is planning on making social cannabis legal by July 2018. He added the government has not decided on a day for a potential referendum, but they would want a vote the legality of cannabis before 2020.
