The current law in New Zealand for cannabis is if you are caught by police with possession of cannabis the penalties can range from a $500 fine to 14 years in prison, but for the cultivation or (growing) of cannabis the penalties can range from a $2000 fine or 7 year jail term or an immediate 2 year jail term (depending on amount).
I found this information from this website http://www.police.govt.nz/advice/drugs-and-alcohol/cannabis-and-law and I know this information to be true because its the official New Zealand Police website.
The new bill suggested to parliament is the use of medicinal marijuana for terminally ill people and I found this information on this site https://www.parliament.nz/en/get-involved/topics/all-current-topics/changes-to-new-zealand-s-drug-laws-proposed-by-medicinal-cannabis-bill/.
