NSW proposes legal exemption for medicinal cannabis use while driving if not impaired, citing outdated laws and advocating science-based reform.
In 2026, New South Wales announced plans to create a legal exemption allowing drivers to use medicinal cannabis without penalty if not impaired, citing current laws as outdated and unfair.
Premier Chris Minns called existing rules "not fit-for-purpose," especially as other mainland states still treat medicinal cannabis like illicit drugs despite no impairment.
Advocates, including MP Jeremy Buckingham, have pushed for reform, arguing medical users should not face restrictions when safe to drive.
Multiple bills are now before the NSW parliament to establish this exemption, signaling a shift toward science-based road safety policies that differentiate between use and impairment.
NSW propone una exención legal para el uso de cannabis medicinal mientras se conduce si no está afectado, citando leyes obsoletas y abogando por una reforma basada en la ciencia.
