    If that would pass it would then have to go to the State Senate and would likely go to committee and then to the floor, if it passed committee, and then be voted on before it could also pass there so it is not like what is happening now is the final decision as to if it will become law or not.

    Even if it passes the committee it is presently in there will still be a long road ahead with many hurdles and potholes in it.
    Thanks for explaining that far more eloquently than me Brick Top. Right now, it has go through/is in the process of going through 3 house committees--Health, Judiciary II, and Finance. Beyond that, I imagine it will have to make similar Senate rounds as you indicated. So yeah, its got a while still, but it won't be enacted until Dec 1 2009 anyway.

    That means lots of time to continue contacting your local legislator and those serving on the committees.

    They'll prescribe you meds that call for your being cautious while driving that are muscle relaxants, pain killers, etc......and to take your license away??? Oh brother.....Look, I'm a damn good driver, TYVM....never been charged for a single accident--people just like to hit me every few years. But hey, I'm the nicest person you'd ever like to be in an accident with.......car totaled and thrown every which way and I'll never sue you.
    Back on track...I'm a BETTER driver when smoking. I'm not uptight, my muscles are relaxed and I'm FOCUSED even moreso than I already would have been "otherwise."
    Pathetic........<<<rolling my eyes>>>Pot kills! Ya know, the only way I can see MJ being responsible for a car accident is if while you're smoking and driving, you drop your j and reach down for it........you know the rest. But you know, that's not what I call defensive driving either.
    I don't understand how you could be prescribed percocet or oxy's and not have your license revoked under this provision! Those things incapacitate you more severely and for a longer duration than smoking ever could, especially in high dosage.

    This just goes to show that even though it is a medicine people still treat it like a street drug.

    this is not true. the law is zero tolerance agains dui and dd (drugged driving) and applies to here and now. this bill has an amendment that would exempt pot smokers from falling into that category.

    please read, don't just take a word on it.

    Is that in reference to NC or Illinois? I haven't read the Illinois bill, just a thread of people discussing like us.

    I believe Jerry was referring to Tennessee. As far as I'm concerned, I don't care what state does/doesn't enforce that....it's just WRONG.

    i agree to a certain extent.... the way the laws are now, if you test positive for marijuana, you're driving drugged (and we all know that testing positive and being high are two completely different things...). this is why they make a clause to exempt medical mj users from the dd category.

    i would hate to spend time in jail because i smoked a bowl two weeks prior to an incident.... ya know?
