It's legal medicine, let medicinal cannabis patients drive!
I am writing to you as a constituent because NSW driving laws are unfairly punishing people prescribed medicinal cannabis. At present, it is a crime to drive with THC in your system, even when you are unimpaired. This law was written before medicinal cannabis was legalised, and it still treats prescribed cannabis as if it were an illicit drug. A court defence is not a real solution. It only helps people after they have already been charged and leaves the driving ban in place. It does nothing for patients who are trying to follow the law. Real reform, not courtrooms, is what is needed. The law needs to be updated so that people with a valid prescription are exempt from presence-based offences. Medicinal cannabis should be treated in the same way as all other prescribed medicines, with restrictions applying only when there is actual impairment. I ask you to support the Roads Minister and the Premier in delivering real reform, not courtrooms, so that patients can drive safely and responsibly without being punished for taking their prescribed medicine.
