New Zealand is in line to make a decision on whether it will legalise cannabis, or not. 

The Labour and Green Party confidence and supply agreement outlines a referendum on the personal use of cannabis by, or at, the 2020 election. 

1 NEWS went to politicians to ask when was the last time they used marijuana. Some of their responses were surprisingly candid - as revealed by the video above.

It comes as the latest 1 NEWS Poll reveals the country is divided on legalisation, with a slightly higher amount in favour. 

Forty-six per cent wanted legalisation, 41 were against, and 12 were undecided. 

But there’s also significant opposition to the idea, according to the 1 NEWS Colmar Brunton poll. (Source: Other)

Do you think the personal use of marijuana should be legalised?

Yes – 46%
No – 41%
Don’t know – 12%
*Percentages have been rounded and do not add to 100 per cent.
