    Victoria To Review Medical Cannabis THC Driving Rules

    Friday, 16 October 2020

    By Gillian Jalimnson

    In the Australian state of Victoria, a Government working group will be formed with view to making changes to road laws effectively forbidding patients who take legally prescribed medicines with THC from driving.

    Currently, it is an offence in Victoria for a person to drive with any amount of THC in their system – and that includes THC that has been ingested in the form of legally prescribed medical cannabis. Penalties can be harsh, including large fines and/or suspension of a driver’s licence…

    …

    “I look forward to the working group getting underway and offering whatever support I can, so that people who take medicinal cannabis can look forward to leading a more normal life and not be treated like a criminal when they get behind the wheel,” said Ms. Patten.
