New South Wales to Re-evaluate Penalties for Medicinal Cannabis Users Driving

The Minns government in New South Wales has indicated forthcoming changes to current road laws. These reforms are anticipated to reduce severe penalties for motorists who use medicinal cannabis.

Under proposed legislation, drivers possessing a medicinal cannabis prescription would no longer face an automatic three-month license suspension or a fine solely for having THC in their system. This initiative, announced on Thursday, seeks a more pragmatic approach for medicinal cannabis users, while also considering road safety.
