Woman from Pekela acquitted after driving under the influence of medicinal cannabis

A woman from Pekela was acquitted by the court after being stopped with medicinal cannabis in her blood. According to the source, she had a valid prescription for the cannabis, which made the acquittal possible. Nevertheless, she lost her driver's license and job due to the incident.

The woman, according to the source, criticized the course of events. She believes it is unjust that she faces the consequences, despite the court not finding her guilty. The case raises questions about how people who use legal medication and participate in traffic are handled.

Medicinal cannabis is being prescribed more and more often, but the rules regarding driving are not always clear. According to the source, the amount of THC in the blood does not always directly indicate the extent of influence on driving behavior. It remains unclear whether policy changes will follow as a result of such cases.
