Zero-tolerance policy could force medical cannabis user to give up driving
You have any detectable amount of THC. It doesn’t matter how long ago you ingested it. You get suspended, lose your license. I want to. I want to be able to drive my vehicle again. We have to choose our health and and our medicine or our ability to drive. I have a fractured S4A crushed rib cage, broken collarbone, shoulder blades, detached ligaments in my in this shoulder I fractured my jaw in two places. My entire orbitals have been shattered, so my whole upper palate was sideways in my face. Multiple skull fractures, multiple brain bleeds. Elastic tendons and I broke the dens bone in my C2 I I should be dead. Or best case there should be paralyzed from my top lip down. I have damaged my hip, my knees. I got crushed in a semi, accidental and all in one shot. I got T boned by a semi cross on the highway in Kindersley. I spent four weeks in the hospital, 2 weeks pre op two weeks post op 7 hours in facial reconstruction surgery and they sent me home. 2 weeks later February 19th I got crushed. May long weekend I I turned a 36 by 18 foot garden plot with my pitchfork by hand and then I wrote it till it was a 24 inch time walk behind rototiller and then for the following week I planted it all by myself. Neck brace, wire, jaw. 3 1/2 months left after getting crushed. I got sent home with 12 morphine from the hospital, and I only used six of them over the first two weeks that I was home. Because I used cannabis exclusively, I have to stop using cannabis so that I can drive, which means that to manage my chronic pain I have to go to things like opioids. Well, if if you smoke a joint at night to help you go to bed at night, even if it’s a high CBD in a very low low THC, you can still test positive for for several days if you go through a check stop. It’s a mandatory testing. If they don’t like the way that you look or smell or act or talk, if they think your eyes are a little red, they’re requesting A swab test. The police are asking if you use cannabis and you say yes, I use cannabis every couple of days or I use it in the evenings. That’s an automatic swab test. Everybody is failing.
