At Budget Estimates, I asked: Where’s the policy for the NSW medicinal cannabis industry?

Connecticut legalised cannabis last year. Researchers tracked crashes statewide & near dispensaries. Result? No spike. The science keeps saying the same thing: legalisation doesn’t cause the road carnage opponents promise. NSW’s RDT laws need to catch up.

THC can linger in your system for days or even weeks after use-but that doesn't mean you're impaired.

Punishing medicinal cannabis patients for driving responsibly isn't road safety: it's outdated and unfair.

Road safety policies should focus on actual impairment, not traces of THC.
