    Can You Drive After Using CBD?

    CBD is the buzzword of the future—at least in places where it’s legal. But that doesn’t automatically mean you can hop in your car and cruise around freely. The law keeps a close eye on the THC content in CBD products, and a misstep could lead to a fine—or worse, a court order.

    Legal Landscape

    • United Kingdom: You can sip on CBD oil as long as it contains 0% THC. Non‑medical THC is a no‑go, though medical cannabis can flirt with up to 0.2% THC.
    • Other nations & U.S. states: Legality varies. Always check local regulations before buying.
    • Trusted brands matter: Reputable companies—think OTO CBD—provide precise THC levels, so you avoid accidental intoxication.

    What Happens If You Overstep the Boundaries?

    Using a CBD product that sneaks past the THC limits can put you in the same legal limbo as driving under the influence. The police might hand you a screening test, and if you’ve crossed the 2 micrograms of THC per milliliter of blood threshold, you’ll be in hot water.

    Should You Drive?

    It turns out that CBD, on its own, isn’t a ticket to “muscle‑boost” driving. Still, it’s wise to consider your personal reaction:

    • First time? Keep the car parked until you know how the supplement affects you.
    • Watch for signs like drowsiness or lightheadedness; adjust the dose or skip the drive if needed.
    • Remember: Even a calm mind can’t chaperone a high‑speed highway if your body’s feeling off.

    If a police stop comes your way, be prepared to pass a cannabis drug screening test. With a clean, legal batch of CBD, you should easily clear the threshold, proving you’re not under the influence.

    Bottom Line

    Legal, low‑THC CBD can be your pocket‑friendly sidekick—provided you use a reliable brand and stay mindful of local laws. And if you’re still unsure, the safest route is to steer away from the road until you know how your body reacts. Stay safe, stay legal, and enjoy the chill responsibly!

  • Hungary sanctions Ukrainian drone commander for bombing oil pipeline in Russia

    Hungary sanctions Ukrainian drone commander for bombing oil pipeline in Russia

    Robert Brovdi is a key commander of Ukraine’s Armed Forces. Hungary’s sanctions will see him face difficulties entering the Schengen Zone, including NATO institutions.

    Hungary has imposed a travel ban on the commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces after three consecutive attacks on the Druzhba oil pipeline on Russian territory.
    The attacks halted oil imports to Hungary and to Slovakia for days. The sanction was announced by Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó, who said the country considered the pipeline attacks a threat to national sovereignty.

    “We have decided to ban the commander of the military unit that carried out the recent extremely serious attacks on the Friendship oil pipeline from Hungary and from the entire Schengen area,” Szijjártó said.
    “This Ukrainian citizen will not be allowed to enter Hungary or the Schengen area in the coming years,” the minister added.

    Diplomatic spat between Hungary and Ukraine deepens

    Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, Andrii Sybiha, replied to his Hungarian counterpart on X, denouncing Szijjártó’s statement as shameless and announcing countermeasures.
    “Peter, if the Russian pipeline is more important to you than the Ukrainian children killed by Russia this morning, this is a moral decay. Hungary is on the wrong side of history. We’ll take mirror action,” the minister said.

    Although the original press release did not name the targeted person, the political advisor of Hungary’s prime minister, Balázs Orbán, confirmed to Hungarian media that the statement related to Robert Brovdi, a commander of Ukraine’s drone unit.
    Brovdi was appointed to lead the key unit in June and admitted earlier on his personal Facebook account that his units were behind the attacks on the pipelines.
    He also posted a video on his Telegram channel of the explosions after the recent bombings on Thursday evening.

    Brovdi, whose call name is Magyar, meaning Hungarian, added a like, saying: “Russians go home.”
    Ukraine did not officially admit to hitting the pipeline infrastructure on Russian soil. The travel ban on Brovdi also means he cannot enter the Schengen Zone— therefore, he cannot join key NATO meetings on European soil.
    In July, Brovdi participated in a LANDEURO meeting, an international meeting and exhibition of land forces at a NATO military base at Wiesbaden in Germany.

    Hungary and Slovakia in spat with Ukraine over bombed Druzhba oil pipelineHungary sues EU over frozen Russian assets being used to provide Ukraine aid

    Last Friday, Hungary and Slovakia jointly sent a letter to the European Commission, demanding action against Ukraine in response to the attacks on the Druzhba pipeline. Both countries argued that Ukraine posed a threat to their energy supplies.
    In a reply, the Commission argued that since strategic oil reserves in Slovakia and Hungary are intact, there is no risk to the security of supply in the countries.

    Hungary must justify the Schengen entry ban

    According to the Schengen Code, which regulates the passport-free travel zone, each member state can ban individuals from entering its territory in case they pose a threat to national security.
    To do this, this country needs to fulfil certain conditions that justify the decision. This decision can also be challenged in court. Once the entry ban is in place, the details are uploaded into the Schengen Information System, and other Schengen countries need to apply this ban automatically.
    They can also give certain exceptions, if they consider humanitarian reasons or national interests. This means in practice that if Robert Provdi wishes to enter a Schengen Country, the information system will send a notification that he is a subject of an entry ban. But the local authorities can still give him permission to enter.

  • Tell employees now where they stand with the Olympics

    Tell employees now where they stand with the Olympics

    This is the stark warning from Michael Slade, Managing Director of the employment law specialist Bibby Consulting & Support.

    According to the latest ACAS guidance for companies, there are likely to be many members of staff who will be attending events at the Olympics either as spectators or as volunteers. And there will be even more who will want to stay at home and watch the Games. Either way, planning annual leave as efficiently as possible and coming to some kind of flexible working arrangements will be essential to ensure businesses have the necessary cover, Slade said.

    ACAS has also warned that there may be possible workplace disputes caused where sports-loving employees are deemed to be shown favouritism by being allowed to take time off. Those commuting into work may experience transport problems affecting their attendance or timekeeping. In addition, productivity may be reduced should well-meaning employers allow their employees to watch the Games during working hours.

    However, Slade said the main concern for companies is expected to be employees who take unauthorised absences from work where their requests for annual leave have not been accepted. He pointed out that absenteeism costs UK companies around £32bn a year, with a recent PricewaterhouseCoopers survey showing that 34 per cent of employees had taken time off work under false pretences and lied to their bosses about it. Another survey revealed that, worryingly, 90 per cent of companies had no plans to deal with the expected increases in staff absence during the period that the Olympic Games are on.

    Slade said: “Businesses – especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) – need to get their processes in order and communicate them to staff as quickly and as clearly as possible so that everyone is aware of the consequences of taking time off work that hasn’t been agreed.

    “Companies need to make sure that they have a robust absence policy and disciplinary policy relating to unauthorised absence and that all employees are fully aware of it. Flexibility will be the key but far more important will be clarity – workers need to know where they stand so that any kind of disputes and disciplinary issues can be kept to an absolute minimum. If an employee is absent from work without authorisation that is a disciplinary matter which could result in a high level warning and in some cases dismissal.”

    Slade concluded: “There are some very important considerations for businesses when setting out policies for the Olympics. We have been providing advice and support for the last six months or so to organisations who are genuinely worried how they will cope when the Games are on. After all, this period of disruption comes only a few weeks after an extended bank holiday season for the Queen’s Jubilee. We would urge all employers to take action now to avoid distractions and declines in productivity, which the UK economy can ill afford.”
