Chronic pain patients suffer from unfair driving laws

Australia is the only country in the world with random roadside THC testing.

And there's a good reason why - they unfairly victimise some of our most desperate, marginalised people.

I received a call this morning from a pensioner who is suicidal from intense and constant pain after a car smashed his leg in two places when he was out walking with his wife.

He can't sleep and his doctors can't help. He can't afford the hundreds of dollars that he needs to relieve his pain with medicinal cannabis.

And even if he could, he'd have to give up driving and he needs his car because he lives in a rural area.

THIS HAS TO STOP.

Write to your MP now and demand immediate changes to the RDT laws.

And read this great article from the ABC giving you the facts:
