Hosted By Tegan Scates

In this episode of The Bloomly Podcast, host Tegan Scates sits down with Rachel Payne, a member of the Victorian Legislative Council and a key figure in Legalise Cannabis Victoria, to discuss the complex and evolving landscape of medicinal cannabis driving laws in Australia. Since being elected in November 2022, Payne has been a strong advocate for cannabis reform, particularly around driving restrictions for medicinal cannabis patients.

In this episode, Rachel sheds light on the current legal framework surrounding medicinal cannabis and driving, the challenges patients face, and the ongoing efforts to push for change. The discussion dives into the inconsistencies between medicinal cannabis use and other prescription medications, the stigmatisation of patients, and the urgent need for evidence-based reform that supports those who rely on cannabis for pain management, chronic conditions, and overall well-being.

Listeners will gain insights into the impact of current laws on individuals quality of life and the path forward for creating more equitable regulations in Australia.
