Toronto man loses driver’s license after disclosing marijuana use to doctor
By Sean O'Shea, Cdn Press.
Published: Jan 12, 2019
'Paradoxical response' to marijuana causing ER visits in Antigonish. A Toronto man lost his Ontario driver’s licence after admitting to a doctor he smokes marijuana on a daily basis.
(In related news- Toronto cops and public transit workers are infuriated that they are being singled out and prohibited from using Weed just in case it impacts their job! So are LIE-berals sending a mixed message about alleged Weed benign nature????)
The man, age 53, provided part of his medical file and other information to Global News for examination but asked not to be publicly identified out of concern for his employment.
Last October, the man was referred to Dr. Peter Phua, a medical doctor who works in a psychotherapy clinic.
He was seeking help with anxiety and claustrophobia, an extreme fear of confined places.
The man says he was honest and up front about his lifetime use of marijuana, which by mid-month was legally obtainable in Canada. He said he has always been truthful with physicians.

(In other words - cops know that in 40 percent of fatal car crashes the driver deemed at fault is BOTH drunk and stoned! So LIE-berals are using possible Weed use as an excuse to invade our privacy at home! Nor do LIE-berals yet have that quick and RELIABLE road side test they assured us would resolve various problems related to stoned drivers and employees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
“He’s a doctor, I thought I could trust him. If you can’t trust your doctor who can you trust?” he said.
Phua is listed as a family physician in the public record of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.
At the initial meeting, the man says he told Phua he sometimes smokes five small joints in a day, usually mixed on a 50-50 basis with tobacco.
“I told him I don’t smoke and drive,” he said, explaining he owns his own business, has several employees, and is conscientious about his cannabis consumption.
(From rhe sound of it - he PARKS and then smokes- and then drives!!!!!!!!!!!)
He suffers from Crohn’s Disease and has survived two forms of cancer. He says marijuana helps him relax.
In the first meeting, the man said Phua warned him he could have his driver’s licence revoked over his marijuana use, but wouldn’t.
At a second meeting with the doctor about a week later, he says Phua repeated his warning and the assurance he wouldn’t report him.

“Twice he threatened, twice he said he would not, and then he did,” the man said.
(So what is the doctor telling this man? Sounds like doc is WARNING- don’t tell me stuff I MAY NEED TO REPORT! And patient is ignoring the warnings!!!!!!!)
A week after the second meeting, the man got a phone call from Phua, who announced he was contacting the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario to have his driver’s licence revoked.
(So should we ask if the reason the doctor changed his mind about reporting was because of how STONED his patient appeared to be at some appointments? After all, a doctor doing blood tests WILL have evidence of your drug use!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
“It was unreal, it sucked the air out of me,” he told Global News.
On Oct. 15, the man received a notice of suspension of driver’s licence from the ministry, announcing his driving privileges would be revoked as of Oct. 22.
The letter cited “evidence of medical condition that would affect your ability to safely operate a motor vehicle” as the reason.
“Stop driving. You must not drive while you are suspended,” the letter warned.
By now, the man had contacted the College of Physicians and Surgeons to file a complaint against the doctor. The College is investigating whether Phua violated the man’s privacy and told the man “he will lie to MTO to get Mr. X’s driver’s licence suspended”, allegations which have not been established by the medical regulator.
(OH GREAT! Instead of discussing whether the guy is too stoned to drive and is a menace on roads- we are re-directed to the usual LIE-beral crap about PRIVACY!!)
The College of Physicians and Surgeons did not reply to a call for comment, nor did Phua.
(One really has to ask if this Weed biz was given any real thought by LIE-berals? In other news- LIE-berals assure us that organized crime is NOT involved in the legal Weed biz! But how would they know since they have been oblivious of the billions of dollars of drug money being laundered at Cdn casinos and in real estate!!!!!!!)
(And then there is the Ontari-owe company raided by cops - only a few months after Weed became legal- for producing TWICE AS MUCH Weed as their licence allowed for! So where is the excess production going? Other than into illicit sales that are untaxed and unregulated??)
The man also applied to appeal the decision by the MTO. He submitted medical evidence from a gastroenterologist who had treated him for several years.
“To my knowledge, there is no drug dependent history of impairment,” the doctor wrote, in support of the man’s licence reinstatement.
(That`s nice but the man has admitted that he is pretty much CONSTANTLY STONED to some degree through out the entire day! How safe is this guy to drive??????????????????????)
After submitting forms and medical advice, the man got good news.
“I got my licence back in two weeks. They (ministry staff) said it was a miracle,” the man said.
(We should ask if the guy got his licence back because the first doctor over reacted to his condition? Or was the licence returned because LIE-berals DO NOT want a long court case in which a HABITUAL STONER tries to defend his right to drive? While the public frets over legal prohibitions against cops and transit drivers and others from using Weed? How much LIE-beral double standard is too much?????)
Medical professionals are obligated to inform the ministry about someone’s medical situation in certain circumstances.
According to MTO regulations, the “goal of the medical reporting program is to protect the public from individuals who have a medical condition that may make it unsafe to drive.”
(LIE-beral ads tell us driving stoned is UNSAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The ministry’s rules changed on July 1, 2018.

Under section 203 of the Highway Traffic Act, there are now mandatory reporting requirements for high-risk medical conditions, vision conditions and functional impairments that make it dangerous for a person to drive.
(For instance it is ILLEGAL for a person taking Methadone to ever drive! In other news- I have heard - from a former trucker- that it is not legal for a person whose right leg has been amputated to hold a professional truckers licence! So was that doctor Phua making a VALID judgement call on his stoner patient???????????)
The rules now apply to physicians, optometrists and nurse practitioners.
“Included in the mandatory high-risk conditions/impairments is uncontrolled substance use disorders. Physicians and nurse practitioners are required to report any patient who has a diagnosis of an uncontrolled substance use disorder, excluding caffeine and nicotine, and the person is non-compliant with treatment recommendations.”
But the man whose licence was suspended for marijuana use said he was not given any treatment recommendations or diagnosis by Phua.
(And what treatment recommendations would be on offer FOR LEGAL WEED USE? The law is ALREADY CLEAR- it is ILLEGAL to smoke Weed and drive- and this guy WAS BOTH smoking and driving Regularly!! Which LIE-berals have over ruled for convenient POLITICAL REASONS???????????????)
According to the ministry, someone could also lose driving privileges for excessive consumption of alcohol, even if the patient does not drive while impaired.
Cannabis perceived as less dangerous than liquor when it comes to driving: study
“Each case is reviewed on an individual basis in the context of regulatory requirements and national medical standards,” said a ministry spokesperson.
Relieved that his licence has been returned, the man told Global News he’s concerned for other people who consume marijuana responsibly, hold driver’s licences and expect to be able to speak frankly with their doctor about cannabis use.
“It’s going to be a big problem. You want to trust a doctor. But if they suspend your licence, I don’t know.”
(I do not suggest that we should return to the past where mere Weed possession was a criminal offense but simply making it legal is clearly not the answer either! As witness the various prohibitions against Weed use in spite of its legal status! And of course LIE-berals have thrown a lot of responsibility onto employers who must now decide- without any handy tools- IF AND WHEN one of their employees might be too stoned to work! And if a stoned employeec is injured or killed the legal thinking is it is the employer who is at fault for allowing the stoner to work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(There are a LOT of employees out there who are convinced they CANNOT get through the work day without being stoned! How long before some stoner- flying under the radar makes a BIG MESS and hurts some people??????????)
(It would have been better to simply leave Weed possession as a mis-demeanor- thus encouraging stoners to be discreet and cautious in their use of the Weed- and limiting the amount of time and money govt will WASTE refereeing these crap disputes!!!!!!!)
(LIE-berals claim that legalizing Weed will take organized crime out of the biz and that is DELUSIONAL LIE-beral thinking! There is reason to suspect the organized crime end is EXPANDING rather than shrinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(It all looks even worse when we look at the seven accused killers that LIE-berals released in 2017 because they lacked the legal resources to supply fair trials in reasonable time! And of course four accused fraud artists who stole a total of $44 million dollars were released without trial for the same CRAP reason! But LIE-berals CAN find the resources to referee a dispute over a stoner and his drivers licence- and put the suspect stoner back on the road - almost as easily as they can release ACCUSED KILLERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
