HazyDaze Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) I think It just shows you have a need for cannabis which can't be a bad thing if you were caught and had to go to court, you'd have a legitimate reason for having numbers of plants on the go too..... "I'm pheno hunting for a specific strain for my medical needs guv" surely can't be ignored with cannabis being touted for lots of medical reasons these days, if you have a legitimate illness you get treated for this has to be taken into account, surely? I haven't got one mind Edited January 13 by HazyDaze 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one in the 80's and he said, "I'll get you fifty quid" and I actually got hit for 25. It was a first offence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Lee Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 16 hours ago, MindSoup said: Mind you proper scripts are getting a lot more affordable, I'll be getting one soon, only thing that gets you out of a swab test when you're pulled over, it's not like you have to keep buying their weed. Are you saying that if you have a script for cannabis they cannot swab you? I thought they would swab you anyways and especially if you showed them a cannabis card? It's a bit like having a belly full of opiates and benzo's in the evening and still being wobbly the next day, you shouldn't be driving and would fail the swab test. If I am wrong I am definitely getting a script as soon as possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can still do you if your impaired, old school finger on the nose, alphabet backwards etc, but a positive swap alone won't get you in any trouble.

Arthur Mix Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Release ain’t that bad Scottish laws different. They are good down here they used to be at festivals etc foc and help people who got nicked there. I also don’t know how a canacard would help when there has been a previous issue including POCA ? Bindmans used to be good with canna law etc they even have bits about medical laws when googled that’s who I was going to suggest but they helped release etc so prob not for you as you say they can suck a nut.

The Road Traffic Act has not been amended to include CBMP's that contain THC, so medical users are not exempt from prosecution if they are over the limit, even if they have a script. In a case last year the driver refused to provide a swab or blood sample (after showing the police his prescription). He was charged with refusal to provide a sample. It went to court but charges were dropped after the prosecution offered no evidence. AFAIK the govt has done nothing to address the situation.

MindSoup Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) @Simple Jack there was a thread on here a while ago, people did have different ideas but iirc correctly someone reported to it working for them. The general impression I got was that it can't hurt to have one, even if it ends up going to court it will help your defence, same reason I got the cancard, it's a score a year and some info that I already give to millions of other companies for free, so why not. Didn't know they were working with rapists though (did they know they were working with rapists?). I'm suprised you can even refuse a swab/blood test TBH, thought they'd just restrain you or something. Pretty crazy that they'll happily give someone medically predisposed to making poor decisions (me) a big box of Super Meth and let them drive wherever they want, but if that person had a joint 5 hours ago they're deemed a danger to other road users .

It's the same as refusing a breath test, you can refuse but the punishment for refusing is the same as you'd get if you provided a positive test.

MindSoup Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Oh right, so he was just lucky, I suppose in a trivial kind of way even if you get done for it you wouldn't technically get a drug charge, but anyone who sees that on a record knows exactly what it means.
