Medicinal cannabis users say road rules discriminate against them

Advocates are calling for a legal defence for unimpaired drivers prescribed medicinal cannabis who test positive at roadside drug tests in Victoria. Medical Cannabis has been legal in Australia since 2016, yet under Victorian law, as in many other jurisdictions except Tasmania, having cannabis in your system is prohibited. Despite relying on medicinal cannabis to ease pain and suffering caused by a chronic illness, people like Alice and Will could face legal consequences for breaking the state's laws.
