New South Wales is considering a controversial move to treat first-time THC-positive drivers with medicinal cannabis as mere offenders—just fined, not convicted—under a “three strikes” system. But science says it’s dangerous: THC impairs all eight critical driving skills for up to five hours, and in legalized states, it’s now the top drug found in fatal crashes, even surpassing alcohol. Medical professionals warn this proposal ignores real-world consequences, and without a reliable roadside impairment test, a fine feels more like a fee to drive. With road fatalities rising and cannabis the most common drug in fatal crashes, experts are urging the Premier to reject this plan until safer testing and better patient education are in place.
