Just get a prescription you are legally covered under sec 5a (3) RTA as a medical defence. Reddit group helped me, and it’s worked a few times with police.
Does this actually work though? If your tested you will come up positive and likely be arrested to appear in court . I dont think the police are educated enough to let you go on the spot ?
Unfortunately that's not allways the case , I personally think ,its how the police on rhe say how he feels with your driving judge & jury if you get arrested or let's you go . But some of the storys is totally unreally , that's why I don't take loads out with me just enough for what I need for the day and for the pain I need . And usually for ME most times I still have some left when I get back home .I have started using capusal in my mighty + . But I have also got a Rogue confection vaporizer , which is alot smaller and with a rubber smell cap what you get with it does the job also good 👍
It’s driving me potty that I’m going to lose my license because of cannabis been in my system 😡 I’ve smoked cannabis over 35 years and it does not impair my driving at all 😡😡😡 I hate the corrupt laws you can even have higher levels of herion, cocaine, MDMA and ketamine in your blood than cannabis 😡 how can that be justified 😡we are victims 😡
@@MR.TB67 I’ve been driving like someone on the run from the FBI for the last 10 years, getting my prescription changed my life, I can just drive now. I can take my kids on holiday all sorts. Complete life changer. Vaping high strip marijuana as I’m driving and I’m thinking what a brave new world.
Interesting that in the US, they don't even test for alcohol, but get drivers barely able to stand walk a straight line. In the UK it's a handy excuse for police who want to search a car to claim 'I can smell cannabis in this car'. I think after 60 years driving I know if I am impaired by anything way better than any police officer. If they tried it with me I would deny and refuse. Seems mostly young males who get targeted, and of course many will be users whether for medicinal or recreational use. We all need freeing from the political class's delusion they have the right to decide how others should live.
Unfortunately in the uk transport police they come up with many arguments saying , this and if you refuse well you will get removed and arrested , and shit goes south , the problem just goes worst
Sorry but I expected a bit more from this. You could have discussed the procedure of what happens when you are arrested etc and tips on how to deal with the situation
They can’t say this due to people faking it , we are on a roundabout no end in site . Once this has happened your motor will be flagged for ever and your self you will be a target of getting stopped

@@21xmetal12 my mate hasn’t got a prescription and he said it depends on the copper, he showed his CanCard to a copper that had known him since he was a child and he was let go. That’s just a story but I believe him he doesn’t usually lie.
Im medical cannabis user and i never feel impaired at all so how do i stay safe when driving? Should i put my mobility ahead of my metal health or vice versa?
I passed my car driving test whilst stoned. Passed my HGV class 2 and then class 1 stoned. Smoked a joint, driving to the test! I was TESTED, and I met or exceeded the standard to pass those tests WHILST stoned. Now im look at becoming a medical user so I can continue to drive without any worries.
It’s driving under the influence that can still cause you major issues because you’re realistically stoned, the influence even the next day being in your system is enough for a conviction that you’ll have to go to court and prove you wasn’t over the influence.
I have a friend who introduced me to Curaleaf, he was drug tested and failed obviously for cannabis, during that time he became a curative patient, and has a prescription, his company have now told him he is free to drive again. He will never be drug tested in future, Andy is driving a company vehicle for them? So how could it be illegal to drive your personal car when companies are told with a prescription you were allowed to drive their vehicles?
This issue swirls around repeatedly and has done so since the 60s. The problem is the law, cannabis should never have been targeted by those who think they have the right to control others. Now, America, the country which launched the ludicrous 'war on drugs' which has itself led to the creation of hundreds of 'legal' highs, many of which actually are dangerous. Every scientific survey ever conducted into cannabis and driving, from an extensive survey in California in the 60s, to more recernt ones, all using realtime road monitoring as well as driving simulators, showed consisently that regular users' driving while 'under the influence' was better than average; they drove a bit slower, showed more awareness of other road users and road conditions, were more polite considerate, and better at anticipating possible dangers and taking avoidance action. The problem seems to be that even those arguing for cannabis acceptance and for a change to the bigoted attitudes [as these people], have accepted that there is impairment without any evidence being presented. Perhaps they assume it wouldn't be illegal if there was none? Well, there never was a scientific justification for the law, it was presented to US politicians with a racist slant, and an entirely fictitious account of what it did to users brains, all created as misinformation to enable the hemp plant to be outlawed for commercial reasons. Now with two thirds of US states legalised, it won't be long before the Federal government falls into line, and then where is the UK government's ludicrous, illogical stance without the big brother's backing? All the effort going into manipulating round ignorant legislation should be ditected towards expanding the use of cannabis to encompass all the medical issues so far ignored; I am prescribed for chronic pain, bnut I also have g;laucoma, which has shown actual real improvement since I was [prescribed, I also have ADHD, which some clinic are prescribing for, and my insomnia makes up to four conditiuons being treated with just one medicine. If that isn't an obvious plus for the NHS, I think it must be run to enrich pharmaceutical companies. Perhaps everyone should be campaigning to have the legislation scrapped, and not be so keen to separate themselves from so-called 'illegal use'. Many illegal users are self medicating, having found out for themselves that it helps with their condition. A good example being military vets who use it to treat the PTSD which is any sane person's response to the killing fields of international politics.
Thanks so much for this. We should make flyers and spread it around. People are too ignorant lacking of key information. Too much prejudice and discrimination around .
I went to court for driving having a grinder with crumbs of leaf stuck inside the grinder lost my license for a 1 year and £250 fine . The joke thing is that they put it on local new paper without my consent and I only found out from my boss cos he reads the paper. Lost my job What a joke!
Most people having this card do not have prescriptions, that’s why t they have it. Prescriptions are crazy expensive and make no sense, the prescription should be free. It’s a health matter. Yes we should pay for the medicine at a normal price but the prescription should be free

Been to court x2 for drug driving whilst having a prescription and got not guilty both times, thc ammount in blood test is completely irrelevant, the police have to prove your driving was impaired.

Make sure u take legal action against the police as I have for the same reason. False imprisonment at the very least. Follow me, same name all platforms for more information
@sebwright2900 1st time cancard helped me get a solicitor but they bailed on me the day before court thinking they were going to loose 😆 had a 2 day trial but then found not guilty, 2nd time I was told I could leave soon as I walked into court :)
Unfortunately saying this I would put down that cancard failed you in times that you needed help , with the card not helping you I think you should take this further either with cancard or other means , I hear a few other people saying the same , sorry to hear this
Yes I held a cancard for 1st couple yrs it was out! Even contacted them when I had problems. They never helped or advised & cancard is a scam money making scheme that has no legal backing! Save your money for private script!
label "may cause impairment - do not operate heavy machinery" is essentially the drug company waiving *their* liability for *your* impairment. It is the sole responsibility of the person taking the medication to judge whether they are impaired or not. This is especially a problem with CNS drugs if the dose is raised, including THC, if you're having a bad day where you've taken more than usual on an as needed basis ("prn"), as a rule, do not drive! "Only drive when stabilised"
Roadside test will still show you as impaired 24hrs later after consumption so your personal judgement has little effect on the way the law works against you
How impaired is a person suffering chronic pain 24/7? I'll tell you, much more than any tiny effect from cannabis. I would suggest new users might be best getting used to the herb first before venturing into the road network, but for long time users they know when they are safe to drive, and the amounts taken medicinally even in your 'bad day' scenario are way less than those inhaled for getting high. This whole subject should be thrown away along with the legislation, cannabis is a berbal medicine and no business of the police or anyone else.
@@petersimmons3654 I use a vape cartridge, it works extremely well for my pain ,I would suggest trying that if you are feeling impaired by the medical flower ,please do not use over and above your prescribed dose .
This. Is what I worry about on a everyday basis as I drive , and iam a medicinal cannabis patient for years ,and some of the stories I here about driving with medical cannabis and cancard is totally scary and disturbing and disgusting how the police and cps , and the law in general is unreal
I know right, maybe is time to leave the country 😂 I mean this card does not really help at all, is only a placebo. Many complains from people since it came out. Not only not being validated or legal recognisable , but also not helping out when they should . I mean I’m just repeating what I’m hearing from their users tho. But what’s the point if medical cannabis being legal if you can’t get a prescription unless you rich and can spare 1k a month on a piece of paper that says the same as your nhs records makes no sense
As long you have a legal prescription it's perfectly fine to drive as long as you don't feel impaired? If your driving is all over the place your getting done with or without a prescription and rightly so tbh. Cancard isn't worth anything so I wouldn't even bother pulling it out if your stopped.
Some cannabis clinics are now dishing out their own cards. As soon as that happens, I won’t be using CanCard as they never respond to phone calls. They never check their answering machine and I don’t like fucking emailing.
Got swabbed march last year, wasn't with cancard , didn't smoke for a reason that night , eye wasn't driving at time , had spent 2 to 3 hour's recovering a viechle off dual carriage way , with little help from 4 teenage boys, eye dont keep good health and had OVERDONE myself eye was 5.7 micro whatevers over the 2 so called legal limit, eye have pled not guilty, in Scotland 🏴
As long as the canabis is in the original container ,taken the way your prescriber has told you ,and you have your prescription with you ,you should be fine ,it down tomthe individual ,in how you feel
You can transfer it to another container. For instance, I bought the vacuum airtight container so that it keeps the medical product in good condition. As long as you have the prescription, the container means fuck all.
£49 to see a private doctor. £10 for a repeat script every month. And an average price of £5 a gram.. and people can’t afford it yet spend £10 a gram on BM. GIVE ME A BREAK!!
People are trapped, often unable to start the self referral process as they feel like criminals. People self medicating for anxiety and mental health reasons especially may still not feel comfortable approaching doctors while self medicating. It's an oppressive cycle. Guaranteed law changes are needed, politicians drag their feet on this. Many people still see cannabis purely as a drug of abuse and this is directly informed by the legal standpoint. And directly impairs medicinal cannabis users both registered and unregistered in the ability to integrate into society. Also a strong believer that people should be able to grow their own medication when it comes to cannabis.
