When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

NSW driving laws treat legal medicinal cannabis as an illicit drug. Law enforcement focuses on detecting prior use rather than impairment. This effectively prohibits people prescribed from driving, regardless of legality of cannabis use & driving capability.
