Aussie state pushing landmark laws to allow cannabis smokers behind the wheel 03.06.2026

Nine News

New South Wales is proposing landmark legislation that could allow over 300,000 medicinal cannabis users to drive, a first for any Australian state. Under the proposed rules, individuals with a prescription for THC-containing medicinal cannabis, holding a full driver's license, would be permitted to drive if they pass an online safety program and adhere to a maximum THC threshold. This initiative aims to accommodate the growing number of medicinal cannabis users, with NSW Premier Chris Minns emphasizing it as life-changing medication. The government is also introducing a three-strike system for positive roadside tests, involving warnings, fines, and license suspensions for repeat offenders, while prioritizing road safety and distinguishing impaired driving from compliant medicinal use.
