The question of whether cannabis should be legal has divided New Zealanders for years, but what does the Pacific community think of the upcoming referendum?

The most recent Health Survey found 15 percent of adults had used the drug in the past year - but for Pasifika, that figure was slightly higher at 17 percent.

RNZ Pacific's Sela Jane Hopgood took to the streets of Auckland to canvas views of the Pasifika community on legalising recreational cannabis.
