the drug is the second most frequently found substance in the bodies of drivers involved in fatal motor vehicle accidents after alcohol.

I suspect if they had a control group for this, they would find it is also the second most frequently found substance in the bodies of everyone everywhere, after alcohol.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Drivers who use medicinal cannabis will be taken around driving courses with an instructor at special closed road facilities such as METEC in Bayswater North and AARC in Wensleydale.

When first announced last year, the trial was praised by legal groups such as the Australian Lawyers Alliance, who have dubbed driving laws penalising medicinal cannabis users as “outdated and unfair”.

“Cases are coming before the courts every week where people are losing their licence and their livelihood because they are taking prescribed medicinal cannabis and driving,” Australian Lawyers Alliance spokesperson Greg Barns said.

“Given the 10-year time blowout, I am calling on the premier to follow Tasmania’s lead and allow Victorians, unimpaired and prescribed medical cannabis, to drive without fear of recrimination."

Ms Payne noted a similar study that had already been conducted by Swinburne University, where 40 people were tested on a virtual driving simulator after consuming medical cannabis, as opposed to a real vehicle and road as planned in the new trial.

The Australian Legal Alliance (ALA) has also called for the prosecution of medicinal cannabis patients who are driving while unimpaired to be paused while the trial is undertaken.

The original article contains 1,045 words, the summary contains 191 words. Saved 82%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

Seems like an Arse Covering Study, to avoid further lawsuits later.

Alcohol: Be under an amount we have decided constitutes an impairment in your cognitive and motor skills.

Cannabis: Be under an amount based on what our tests can detect, often several days after last consumption.
