@Glos Guy thanks for the info👍👍. (not sure the link opens)
No worries. If the link doesn’t work, try Googling “Sentencing Council Guidelines Driving or attempting to drive with a specified drug above the specified limit”
The key takeaway is that if you are found to have a level of drugs (including Cannabis) in your system that is above the prescribed limit (reason is irrelevant – so medical use is no defence in law – if you need a dosage for medical reasons that puts you above the prescribed limit then it is still illegal to drive) then the sentencing court must, as a minimum start point, impose a 12 month disqualification. There is no discretion on this.
