If your medicinal cannabis treatment contains THC, the answer is no. It is illegal to drive in Western Australia with any detectable level of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) in your system, regardless of whether you have a prescription for medicinal cannabis. THC is the intoxicating compound in cannabis that can cause impairment.

This means that even if you no longer feel impaired by the medicinal cannabis, you could still face charges of drug driving if caught with any THC in your system.

However, if your medicinal cannabis treatment contains CBD only, you can drive legally. Your Polln doctor will assist you in finding the right treatment or combination of treatments to suit your lifestyle. They will ensure it aligns with your ability to drive safely and complies with local regulations.

There is no current timeline for the legalisation of recreational cannabis in Perth. The Western Australian Government has indicated that it is open to considering legislation in the future, but it has not yet made any firm commitments.

In WA, medicinal cannabis has been legal since 2016. Medicinal cannabis is legally accessible through prescriptions from certified doctors. These physicians, having undergone specific training and registered with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), can prescribe medicinal cannabis for various medical conditions. Cannabis that is accessed without the guidance of a prescribing doctor, also known as recreational cannabis, is not legal.

Common conditions for which medicinal cannabis is prescribed include:

• Chronic pain
• Epilepsy
• Multiple sclerosis
• Cancer
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Insomnia
• Anxiety
• Depression
