Hi,
Your medicine can cause drowsiness and initially can reduce your reaction times especially if you take alcohol or other sedatives at the same time, increasing your risk of having an accident, putting yourself and others at risk. If you are taking medicines, the rules about driving will depend on the country youโre driving in.
Medicines and driving in the UK
Medicines and driving in the Republic of Ireland
Having a car accident may mean a statutory defence may apply where cannabis has been legally prescribed by a doctor and driving was not impaired. The THC level needs to exceed legal thresholds. A THC level of over 2micrograms/L has been judged to be sufficient to exceed the threshold for medical purposes (high medicinal cannabis THC doses may cause this).
It would be best to avoid driving or undertaking tasks that require fine motor skills to prevent the likelihood of an accident until you know how the medicine affects you. The highest risk for driving would be at the times listed below:
After a change in dose (especially an increase)
If you are on a high dose or seem very sensitive to side effects
If your current medicine causes you blurred vision, drowsiness, poor co-ordination, poor attention.
Best wishes,
Abbie
