Guide to Cannabis in Australia: New South Wales
Use, supply and possession of cannabis is illegal in New South Wales (NSW); however, first-time offenders with a small amount on hand may only be issued a caution. Up to two cautions can be received, and they often come with a referral for drug-related information.
The NSW government recognises the potential of medicinal cannabis to treat debilitating or terminal illnesses. Any doctor can prescribe medicinal cannabis if it is determined an appropriate treatment and the doctor has the approvals required to do so.
In another show of support for the drug, the NSW government has established the Centre for Medicinal Cannabis Research and Innovation to educate the community and monitor clinical trials. Over AU$9 million has been allocated to the centre by the NSW government. They are researching key areas to help children with epilepsy; cancer patients who require pain management, appetite inducement and reduction of nausea; and chronic pain in spinal cord injury patients.
