[Odd Job]

A very interesting read, and it's raised a question of my own, especially the part about being over the "legal limit" for cannabis in your blood stream.

I've been suffering with a compressed disc in my back for over 6 months now.
After multiple doctors appointments and time off work, 3 sessions at a chiropractor ( which got me walking again ) and absolutely loads of tablets from the doctors, mainly painkillers - which while I was on them I'm unable to drive anyway, I finally had an MRI scan which the doctor concluded that I'm going to need an operation on my back to ease the issue. Note I didn't say cure the issue.
I am now currently waiting for an appointment from the spine specialist, which I have been told will be some point in the new year.

So, the painkillers that I'm on now are now upsetting my stomach. These aren't prescribed ones, but strong ones from the chemist. I can still drive while taking them.

I have been considering CBD oil as an alternative to the painkillers.
I would never dream of smoking cannabis, but have been giving the CBD oil some serious thought as I need to keep working and cant afford any more time off work.

So, if I do decide to go down this route ( which now I'm thinking isn't such a good idea ) Will run the risk of loosing my licence if I have a run in with the police and get tested?
