@LCP_Aus The most recent major legislative push by Legalise Cannabis Party for personal adult use cannabis reform (possession, home grow, etc.) was in June 2023.
JUNE 2023!
Can we stop talking about it and actually do something?
ACT was a giant success, just copy that model for now.
The NSW government relies on science backed alcohol limits (0.05-0.08) based on impairment research funded and reviewed over decades.
Cannabis is still regulated using detection thresholds, not an impairment based standard.
Why is cannabis different? @BuckinghamJN
The 50 ng/mL threshold is a political and operational compromise, not a direct measurement of sobriety.
The 50 ng/mL figure is the standard threshold used by laboratories to confirm the presence of cannabinoids under Australian Standard... NOT impairment.
This is a cop out.

Do you support NSW’s new medicinal cannabis driving law (50 ng/ml THC limit) @BuckinghamJN?
At this threshold, many patients may still test above the limit WEEKS after stopping medication.
Prescriptions are confidential health data.
I fear this is just another target list. 👎
@marijuanacomau Hand over your medical cannabis prescription to Transport for NSW so the police force can make a database of cannabis users... So they WONT target them.
Yet methadone prescriptions are confidential health data protected under strict medical privacy laws.😑
Dystopian is right.🙃

@DavidShoebridge 50 nanograms of THC... You'd likely be still over this limit after a month, maybe a week if you dont use much. 3 days for a very low dose user would be the quickest you could drive under these new laws.
A month without medication to drive isn't change... its a target list.

To drive under these new laws you'd have to stop medication for a month.
You have every right to know what your government is doing, and they have no right to know what you are doing.
That is why they are called public servants and we are called private citizens.
Instead, the relationship has been inverted. The state hides behind secrecy, classified files, and redactions while demanding total visibility into your finances, communications, movement, and behavior.
A society where the rulers live in privacy while the population lives under surveillance is the very definition of tyranny.
