The Member for Tamworth, Kevin Anderson, is pushing the premier to consider the legalisation of medicinal marijuana.
The Nationals MP met with Premier Mike Baird earlier this week and shared a story of a terminally ill man who was forced to use cannabis illegally to treat pain caused by his bowel cancer.
“The premier was sympathetic and listened intently while I explained the issue to him and the circumstances surrounding my decision to try and change the laws,” Mr Anderson said.
The premier said he would give “careful consideration” to the bill, despite the federal government knocking back the proposal.
