Because Australian pollies only want to dictate an rule us with stupid laws , but let kids steal cars an do home invasions let em out on bail with the parents who can't control them an are in denial about their children . Australia is pathetic nower days
It blows my mind that our government doesn't seem to understand that if people go to the lengths of forming a political party about an issue we're damn serious about it. David's even said that Jacinta Allen avoided meeting with him and Rachel for ages, maybe even still? Disgraceful.
Im an Apprentice Electrician here in Victoria, got my license suspended for using medicinal cannabis im prescribed due to a roadside test. Ive lost my license for 6 months, lost my job which subsequently put my apprenticeship on hold as its required for my line of work. I live alone and have to pay rent and bills but they dont seem to care. I waited another 28 days to reapply after completing a behaviour change program and having my fine put on a payment plan only to go to court at Moorabbin to barley speak a sentence after being sworn in and asked why the fine is not paid, I confirmed it was on a payment plan with fines vic, she wasnt happy and gave me a 3 month differal till the fine is payed. Total 10+ months before i can maybe get back on the road and back to full time work. This has affected my life and mental health greatly, Ive had enough.
Thank you for sharing your story and also contacting David's office to speak directly to us. The more people understand the hardship this situations causes the easier making the necessary change will be.
The laws penalising drivers for mere presence and not impairment are profoundly wrong and a grave injustice to law abiding citizens.It's quite shocking.Australia is the only country in the world to do this to its citizens.
It is valid to add the cost of obtaining medicinal cannabis which is being taking advantage by charging much higher consultation fees and the cost of 30ml which is less than a months supply is CBD $115 and THC/CBD is $100. A consultation is $100. Prescriptions only last 5 months not 12 months as is the case for normal prescriptions. Thus forcing you to have regular consultations a educated guess would mean that is $3000 per annum and that is on a pension and up to $4000 without a pension.
if it doesn't show you. they wanna keep their hold on ppl. its a human rights issue.. 😢 even as a stage 4 cancer patient they make it difficult for me to access and makes the remaining time I have harder. Thanks
I use medicinal cannibis and don’t drive has my licence suspended for being arrested with my oil on me without correct bottle had no label on it and was charged possession of illegal drug licence suspended even though I don’t drive. Wish I could- let’s change the laws. Yes let’s allow establish medicinal cannibis holders to drive
To allow Legal Medicinal Cannabis and not change the drug driving laws to suit is highly negligible and wrong! Why allow it if you haven't allowed for this! Totally irresponsible! I am Have a prescription and cannot use my medicine because i cannot lose my licence..
Keep it the way it has always been, and the black market and now the black government market, will continue to keep taking all the possible tax revenue and profits for their own gains instead of going to help with the cost of living crisis and many other benefits the government are already well aware of.
Cert 111 at home is very good news as I am patient and not a criminal I comend the green moght join got my cert 111 in leadership development and Saudi backing ❤
Seeing the quality of doctors now, self medicating is often safer. Big pharmaceutical companies just haven’t been in control of this product so our gutless greedy politicians will not allow legalising cannabis.
Before medical cannabis was even a thing, back in 2007 I passed my HGV Class 2 Test whilst being stoned. Passed HGV Class 1 in 2008 - stoned. So I tested at the required standard or higher to pass 2 HGV tests whilst being stoned on illegal cannabis. It does NOT impair driving IF you are used to the drug. So medical cannabis patients should be able to drive after taking their medication if they feel they are not impaired. Thankfully I now have a medical cannabis prescription, but here in the communist UK we might still be arrested and have to go to court where it SHOULD get thrown out. But who knows these days as we imprison people for posting comments online and or protesting non violently and legally against left wing Governments
Excellent speech David. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you!
Germany have brought in a 3.5 ng limit for roadside testing with little issue - why can't Australia do the same?
Because Australian pollies only want to dictate an rule us with stupid laws , but let kids steal cars an do home invasions let em out on bail with the parents who can't control them an are in denial about their children . Australia is pathetic nower days
That is a good standard to aim for.
had to stop my medication because fear of losing my licence hopefully nsw and the rest of Australia hops on board and we get this straighten out soon
Sorry to hear that. We are very dedicated to this change.
@@legalisecannabisvictoria thankyou for all your effort.. much appreciated
David is a man of the people
thanks for the comment.
Is about time commonsense wins this debate.
indeed!
It’s not just victorians that have the worries of driving while legally prescribed medicinal cannabis it’s all Australians in every state.
Indeed. The party is pushing for this change nationwide
It blows my mind that our government doesn't seem to understand that if people go to the lengths of forming a political party about an issue we're damn serious about it. David's even said that Jacinta Allen avoided meeting with him and Rachel for ages, maybe even still? Disgraceful.
There are a lot of passionate people involved in making this change happen.
Please keep up the fantastic work you are doing believe me it is appreciated 🙏.
Thank you! We will keep pushing on this.

I support this motion 100% as should all our politicians. Let’s wait and see if the government are true to their word .
With the support we are getting we will definitely keep pushing.

Injustice is a great term to use.
@@legalisecannabisvictoriahere's another one, "discrimination "

I'm sorry to hear the stress this is causing you.

Much talk. But nothing gets done.
At least they are talking about it. Westminster are too busy pushing in their communist laws.
For all states and territorys please 🙏
I thought politicians can make laws.
Why can't politicians do their jobs on this and fix their poor performance on this

Amen. The sticker on the box of any decent medication says 'if affected do not drive' key word: if ..
Nationally recognised card holder /for medicinal cannibis on our licence link ? Auto.
great suggestion

I used a dropper bottle of my own as a small portable oil bottle wrong idea that was. Ghosh
Not many people would know this technicality. Thanks for sharing.
They could bring the speed limit down to 30km 😅😂
