Victoria considers reforms to allow medicinal cannabis users to drive without automatic license suspension.
The Victorian government is considering reforms to allow medicinal cannabis users to drive without automatically losing their license if traces of the drug are detected. Proposed changes would grant courts discretion to assess impairment and driving history. Current laws impose a six-month license suspension for first-time offenders regardless of impairment, which experts deem discriminatory. A study on medicinal cannabis impairment is underway, with results expected in 2026.
