NSW to Introduce Legislation Allowing Medicinal Cannabis Users to Drive Without Automatic Penalties
The NSW government plans to introduce legislation that would remove automatic licence suspensions and fines for drivers with a medicinal cannabis prescription who have THC in their system. The legislation would also set a legal limit on THC concentration for such drivers.
The NSW Labor government plans to introduce legislation that would set a legal limit on the concentration of THC in a driver's system if they have a medicinal cannabis prescription, according to abc_au. The same legislation would remove the current automatic three-month licence suspension and fine for drivers with a medicinal cannabis prescription who test positive for THC, as reported by the guardian. Premier Chris Minns says the changes aim to balance road safety and provide a more practical approach for medicinal cannabis users. NSW motorists who use medicinal cannabis may soon be able to drive without facing major penalties under the proposed changes.
