Last Thursday, my colleague Bernd reported that the Victorian government is considering amending state drug-driving laws to reflect the legality of medicinal marijuana.
Victoria was the first state to legalise medicinal cannabis in 2016.
Medicinal cannabis comes in a variety of forms. One form is plain cannabidiol oil, or CBD oil, which contains no psychedelic component, so it's perfectly safe to take it and drive.
Another form of CBD oil mixes in a bit of THC, which is the active component in marijuana, and which shows up on roadside drug-driving tests.
The Victorian government is trying to work out a way to distinguish between the presence of THC in a driver's system due to a medicinal cannabis prescription, and impairment as a result of THC ingested from the recreational use of marijuana.
