Fitzroy Legal Service - Medical Cannabis & Driving Offences

Tuesday, 6 August 2024 - 6:00pm to 6:30pm

On this episode, Aurora & Jimi are joined by Amity Mara, Manager of Policy in the Social Action and Public Interest Law team at Fitzroy Legal Service. Amity joins us to discuss drug driving offences for medical cannabis patients. 

Under current Victorian law, someone can be found guilty of drug driving by having trace amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol chemicals in their system while driving, despite having a legal prescription and not being impaired by the drug. Fitzroy Legal Service argues this law is discriminatory. They believe everybody deserves to be able to take their prescribed medication without fear of unfair punishment. Tune in to see the law reform Fitzroy Legal Service and others are pushing for in this space.
