UNIONS NSW is urging the NSW Government to fast-track reforms so medicinal cannabis is treated like other prescription medicines for drivers. Currently, legally prescribed patients risk losing their licence and jobs due to roadside THC detection, even when not impaired. The Government has committed to “investigating” a medical defence, but unions argue this is too slow. They want the Road Transport Act amended to focus on impairment rather than presence of THC, so patients following medical advice are not penalised.
