Petition Include a statutory medical defence in the Draft Drug Driving Regulations

Medicinal cannabis patients, and patients who use other drugs that may be included in the law in future, who are not impaired and are following prescription guidance may inadvertently test above the limits specified in the law.

A medical defence is necessary “to protect those patients who may test positive for certain specified drugs taken in accordance with the advice of a healthcare professional or the patient information leaflet that accompanies the medicine.” (Gov.uk)
