The Art of Getting Things Done w/ Sally King (New Zealand Medical Cannabis Council)

Sally King is a member of the New Zealand Medical Cannabis Council (and former Executive Director) and the 2026 Cannabiz Campaigner of the Year. Since 2019, Sally has helped build Aotearoa New Zealand’s medicinal cannabis sector, working across government, industry, healthcare, research and patient advocacy to turn competing interests into collaborative solutions. We talk about how cannabis campaigning has evolved, building an industry alongside a new regulatory scheme, the art of getting different stakeholders around the same table, and what Australia and New Zealand can learn from each other. Plus, Sally’s fellow Campaigner of the Year finalists Melanie Wentzel, and Kristin Viccars join the episode with questions of their own. A conversation about collaboration, credibility, knowing when to push back, and why we can go further together than we can apart.
