Why is it so hard for some of you to understand that some folks will have no impairment after smoking? There are credible studies to back this up, one from Hartford Hospital. :jointsmile:

Until someone is hurt or property is damaged, no crime has been committed.
Any attempt at crime "prevention" is an attempt into reading the future - fortune telling at best, stealing your freedom at worst.
They havent even done enough credible studies on the effects of mj on the brain, much less its effects on driving.
Until they actually study what it does, should they really be telling me that I cant do it?
Because someone else cant handle it, does that mean I should lose the right/freedom? Someone could go to the liquor store with $50, buy a ~gallon of everclear and drink it then die....yet everclear is still legal..bleach for that matter...

no wrecks in 20 years here. as a matter of fact, I've only had 1 traffic ticket in the last 20 years, and it was BS.

"I will be sponsoring a bill that was developed by the Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice, which created quite a flood of phone calls and e-mail when the Denver Post and Westword ran stories on it. That bill will create a maximum permissible level of THC (the psycho-active component in marijuana) in the blood that is allowed while driving. It would create an objective standard for determining whether a person is driving under the influence of marijuana. The level I will propose, which is supported by a lot of research, is 5 nanograms of THC per milliliter of blood. There has been concern about whether that level will include people who have THC in their systems but whose driving is not impaired. Many people have expressed concern that this kind of law will simply allow law enforcement officials to target medical marijuana patients. The literature indicates that the 5 ng level is sufficiently high that anyone with that amount in their blood by the time testing occurs has ingested a significant amount of marijuana recently. (In contrast, urine testing detects various metabolites, which do stay in the system fairly long.) The officer must have probable cause for stopping the motorist based on their observable driving behavior and a reasonable suspicion that the impaired driving is from marijuana in order to request a blood test. As marijuana use becomes more prevalent and as criminal penalties decrease, I strongly believe the public needs confidence their safety on the roads is not being jeopardized."
