2  Preservation of single licence etc.
(1) This item applies if:
 (a) immediately before the transition time, a person (the licence holder) holds a single licence that is in force; and
 (b) the licence is:
 (i) a medicinal cannabis licence; or
 (ii) a cannabis research licence; or
 (iii) a cannabis manufacture licence.

Preservation of licence
(2) Despite the amendments of the Narcotic Drugs Act made by Schedule 1 to this Act and subject to subitems (3) and (4), the licence (the preserved licence) continues to have effect, and may be dealt with, after the transition time as if it were a medicinal cannabis licence that has been granted under the Narcotic Drugs Act, as so amended.
(3) If a period for which the preserved licence would be in force is specified in the licence immediately before the transition time, the licence is taken, after that time, not to specify such a period.
(4) Subitem (3) does not apply in relation to a preserved licence if the licence referred to in subitem (1) was a non‑commercial cannabis licence.

Preservation of notice to surrender licence
(5) If:
 (a) before the transition time, the licence holder gave a notice in accordance with regulations made for the purposes of section 11A or 13D of the Narcotic Drugs Act for the surrender of the licence referred to in subitem (1); and
 (b) immediately before the transition time, the licence has not ceased to be in force under those regulations;
then, despite the amendments of that Act made by Schedule 1 to this Act, the notice continues to have effect after the transition time as if it were a notice given in relation to the preserved licence.

Preservation of permit that relates to preserved licence
(6) If:
 (a) immediately before the transition time, the licence holder holds a permit that is in force; and
 (b) the permit relates to the licence referred to in subitem (1);
then, despite the amendments of the Narcotic Drugs Act made by Schedule 1 to this Act, the permit (the preserved permit) continues to have effect, and may be dealt with, after the transition time as if it were a medicinal cannabis permit granted under the Narcotic Drugs Act (as amended by that Schedule) that relates to the preserved licence.
