We first met Hampshire Cannabis Community at Product Earth back in June, and since then have caught up with them at every cannabis event.
I’m always on the look out for interesting things to film for Let Me Look TV. So when I stumbled across an event called “Responding to drug harms: Can the UK learn from Portugal?” I thought it might be worth checking out.
For pro-reform advocates like myself, Portugal is often cited as a shining example of how drugs reform works - it is the way forward. Personally, I still think they still need to fully legalise cannabis and regulate it in some way, but that’s a different discussion.
The thing that made me roll my eyes initially was way the title ‘Responding to drug harms’ seemed fairly suggestive, so my expectations weren’t that high at first glance. But after checking out the panellists, I saw it was going to be an interesting event for sure.
Ok so we've scoured the web in an attempt to find an explanation of whats going on with the new drug driving laws, specifically the laws sounding cannabis and driving due to laws implementing new tests for drug-drivers on the roadside. Many people are worried that they will be persecuted if they consume cannabis and then drive later on in the day, even if they are not impaired anymore.
Unfortunately it seems that these claims have some basis, and under the new law a zero tolerance approach is adopted, giving police the power to arrest drivers and take them to police stations for blood tests. Whether this will be rigorously enforced at this stage cannot be seen, but time will tell. For now, stay safe, and don't smoke and drive!
