We want to hear from local cannabis growers and breeders who are interested in supplying genetics to Helius.  

 

Under the Medicinal Cannabis Scheme, as medicinal cannabis licence holders, Helius can onboard varieties of cannabis that are already established in New Zealand from unlicensed growers and breeders. 

 

To do this, we make a declaration and pay the fee to the Medicinal Cannabis Agency (government). We can declare up to 20 plants and 50 seeds on a single declaration. There is no limit to the number of declarations that can be made by Helius, provided the fee is paid for each declaration.

​

We’ve developed a program to ensure breeders are commercially recognised and protected. Breeders will receive an upfront Genetics Fee for cultivars that are adopted for use in our medicinal cannabis cultivation. Helius will cover the costs of characterising these local cultivars, which will be done in our analytical laboratory

​

New Zealand’s breeders can contact us in confidence through the secure web form on this page. Alternatively, you can email enquiries@helius.co.nz
