在2024年11月大麻阳性测试后, 塔斯马尼亚独立国会议员克雷格·加兰(Craig Garland)在对毒品驾驶认罪后, 获得限制驾驶执照。 Tasmanian Independent MP Craig Garland has been granted a restricted driver’s licence after pleading guilty to drug driving following a cannabis positive test in November 2024. 尽管由于之前的酒后驾车定罪而被强制停职六个月，但地方法官 Leanne Topfer 允许在开庭的几周内限制驾驶船港和霍巴特国会大厦之间的 355 公里往返行程，理由是缺乏公共交通和全面禁令将带来的困难。 Despite a mandatory six-month suspension due to a prior drink-driving conviction, Magistrate Leanne Topfer allowed limited driving for the 355km round trip between Boat Harbour and Hobart’s Parliament House during sitting weeks, citing the lack of public transport and the hardship a full ban would impose. Garland在迅速举行选举后于2025年7月再次当选,他辩称这项限制对于履行其议会职责是必要的,并指出在Hobart睡觉有困难,住宿费用高昂。 Garland, re-elected in July 2025 after a snap election, argued the restriction was necessary to fulfill his parliamentary duties, noting difficulties sleeping in Hobart and high accommodation costs. 他要求为慢性疼痛开药用大麻处方,但在犯罪时尚未开过处方。 He sought a medicinal cannabis prescription for chronic pain but had not been prescribed it at the time of the offence. 后来撤回了延长驾驶特权以到达克利夫顿海滩他喜欢的户外住所的请求。 A request to extend driving privileges to reach his preferred outdoor accommodation in Clifton Beach was later withdrawn. Garland在开车前夜承认吸食大麻,承认判断不力,但认为他没有受损。 Garland admitted to smoking cannabis the night before driving, acknowledging poor judgment but maintaining he was not impaired. 他被罚款1,096美元。 He was fined $1,096.
