Cannabis Prescription Defense Validity

Summary

In Wales, a medical cannabis prescription obtained after an arrest for driving with THC over the specified limit is generally not a valid defense. The THC level in your system at the time of the arrest is the key factor. While your trauma from witnessing a murder may be considered as a mitigating factor, it is unlikely to excuse the offense. It is advisable to consult with a local solicitor experienced in drug-driving cases for personalized legal advice.
