Medicinal cannabis driving laws spark political divide
Published 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
New South Wales is proposing legislation that would allow medicinal cannabis patients to drive legally under strict conditions, including mandatory registration with the transport department and a three-strike warning system. The bill would ban drivers for 24 hours after a positive test, with repeat offences within two years resulting in licence suspension and fines. Opposition Leader Kellie Sloane has vowed to oppose the laws, calling them reckless, while Premier Chris Minns defends the measures as protecting patients who use cannabis legally and responsibly.
