Are drug driving laws out of touch? A chat with Professor David Heilpern and Professor Jon Wardle

Despite having a prescription, Australians who use medicinal cannabis with THC cannot legally drive or risk a fine and loss of licence. Southern Cross University Dean of Law, Professor David Heilpern, is calling for reforms to road laws surrounding medicinal cannabis to ensure patients aren’t unfairly penalised for seeking treatment. Foundation Director of Southern Cross University's National Centre for Naturopathic Medicine, Professor Jon Wardle, outlines the national research underway into cannabis plants, its properties and health benefits. This musical introduction to this podcast was written and performed by Alako Myles.
