I think that would have been a tough go for the cops...second hand smoke causing impairment WTF I have not seen anyone convicted of that ...yet. I may be wrong. Bit it seems an easy one for a defense lawyer to defend

Dui's are the main concern from law enforcement because there really is no way to draw a line in the sand for everyone to follow. I smoke a 1/4 oz a day almost every single day but I can't remember the last time I felt impaired. However if I don't smoke or take pain killers within an hour I'm impaired no question about it.
When my body is in deress I have no business on the road. Yet even after 3-4 joints I could easily pass any cops roadside sobriety tests. I know this because I have done it.
My perk prescription is for 8 day.
It says not to operate a vehicle or heavy machinery for 4 hrs after taking them. So do the math, when could I drive or work? Yet if the Dr even suggested I follow those guidelines I'd be deemed catastrophic and be forced to retire.
It's a shitty situation

I think most of us chronic's agree, if you smoke a lot and use daily, impairment is rarely a problem. That why the level in a persons system, imo is wrong. I'd probably blow the meter off the scale but I can still drive rings around most people. I'm a better driver than the average driver and weed simply doesn't change that for me.
Now to be honest, for me, other variable's could affect my driving. I've noticed as I've gotten older I'm not quite as good as I used to be. Other idiot morons makes me aggressive. My mood. Selfish drivers. Those are just a few things that impair my driving more than weed ever has.

Testing for active thc is the closet we got. Forced blood testing the see actual blood/thc level would be my guess. But again the tolerance issue is a huge hurtle. They have to prove impairment not how much it took to impair you. So they will set some week as fuck levels like Washington state did and bust people that way. It will be a total shit show when all people who smoked pot in the last month are comitting a DUI every time they get behind the wheel.

Think of pharma pills the next time some old lady is driving very slow in front of you
I bet 99% of narcotic pharma users rarely even consider there impaired while driving.
Why don't cops just pull over bad drivers and suspend their licenses for 48 hrs ... that would make people drive better or walk
But yeah anyone that takes anything for awhile constantly can take more than someone that uses once a month
Body weight takes into account
Also some people don't act like idiots when high lmao

I love the way non MJ users seem to know so much about something they've never experienced. It's their way at still controlling weed.
Must be pissing off a lot of non user the way the world is going...like Chris Christie...fucking asshole clown. He vows that if he become President he use the FEDS Goon Squad to crush legalization already in place. Fuck-tard extreme.

I wouldn't doubt thats true but I know if they demand a blood sample, they have to take you to a hospital and have a qualified person draw your blood.

I do not smoke and drive. There is responsibility in both our medical reasons and even if smoking weed is just a bad habit. Weed makes me stupid. I don't wanna be all stupid acting out in public among people who are not stoned just going about there normal every day lives. Handle your business before you smoke. Then smoke at home, bar friends whatever and fetch a ride. I don't even travel with weed. Responsibility. Those who aren't responsible ruin it for everyone else.
Our legal system is an economy. Somebody needs to get paid. A lawyer or the law. Who you choose to pay is up to you.

I need a certain level of pain killer for myself so being "stoned" is pretty much normal everyday thing
Maybe use a lower thc or a strain that doesn't make ya stupid hahaha

And what about those people who need to medicate in order to function? Should someone who uses every few hours and doesn't get high have to be confined to their home because someone thinks their impaired? If your not impaired what's the problem? If you feel that you are impaired, stay off the road....mj does not impair your ability to decide whether or not your high!

Yeah it's epidemic how many are addicted to pain killers. Pharma or weed. I see them at work. Chronic back pain. Need pain killers. They be so smiley some times. Other times not so much. Had a gf I took to the doctor about 7 years ago. She had shoulder pain and they did an MRI. She started crying when the doctor only prescribed hydrocodone. She wanted like morphine. She literally cried and begged for something more powerful. It's a sad tale to watch addiction unfold. I couldn't help her. So........ Not judging. But yeah. I've had two DUIs within a year. Did two weeks in county for the second. I was drunk tho. I don't drive impaired anymore at all. I see no reason to. If I choose to drink or smoke. Then I need to be a responsible adult about it. And I am.
It's an entitled country we live in. Peoples just think they can do what they wanna do regardless if it could be hazardous to other innocent people. Think about it. It's really sad how selfish people are.
