      There are 2 types of cannabis licence.
      A medicinal cannabis licence may authorise:
             (a) the cultivation of cannabis plants for producing cannabis or cannabis resin for medicinal purposes and the obtaining of cannabis plants for that purpose; or
             (b) the production of cannabis or cannabis resin for medicinal purposes; or
             (c) all of the above;
      and activities related to such cultivation, obtaining or production.
      A cannabis research licence may authorise:
             (a) the cultivation of cannabis plants for producing cannabis or cannabis resin for research relating to medicinal cannabis and the obtaining of cannabis plants for that purpose; or
             (b) the production of cannabis or cannabis resin for research relating to medicinal cannabis; or
             (c) all of the above;
      and activities related to such cultivation, obtaining or production.
      Before a licence holder can cultivate cannabis plants, or produce cannabis or cannabis resin, the licence holder must obtain a cannabis permit. Permits deal with matters such as the types of cannabis plants that can be cultivated and the quantities of cannabis and cannabis resin that can be produced.
      Certain conditions are imposed on all cannabis licences, and the Secretary may impose additional conditions.
      Cannabis licences and cannabis permits can be varied or revoked in certain circumstances.
      There are offences and civil penalties relating to the cultivation and obtaining of cannabis plants and the production of cannabis and cannabis resin.
