NSW Premier Mike Baird has been heckled at an event in Sydney and accused of moving too slowly on medicinal cannabis.

Baird was confronted by dying patients and their carers at a medicinal cannabis conference in Sydney on Saturday where he gave the opening address.

The NSW Government is currently running a number of clinical trials of medical cannibals and it's use for people with, terminal illnesses, chemotherapy-induced nausea and children with severe epilepsy.

During his speech, at the United in Compassion Medicinal Cannabis Symposium, members of the audience heckled Mr Baird, whose government has applied for a licence to grow the medicinal crop under a national scheme, shouting that progress was "too slow" and that "children dying's a reality".

"I assure you we are moving as quickly as we can," Mr Baird told the conference.

"With everything I have, and every resource in government, we are doing everything we can ... to make it as effective as we possibly can, to give access as quickly as we possibly can."
