I think we need to be as aware of the negatives as the postives so we can minimise any harmful impact and enjoy the benefits of this wonderful plant.

Drink driving was socially acceptable and legal in my country less than 40 years ago. I have seen film footage of the public being interviewed just before drink driving laws came in and they had very similar arguments against the drink drive laws as those expressed here against DUID laws. I think my favourite line was.... "They are going to spoil a lot of peoples Christmas"
Smoking weed doesn't impair your ability to drive a car man, most cops on the street understand this as well, I got stopped with a lit joint once and they let me follow them back to the police station because my passenger had warrants.

We certainly don't need stricter DUI laws. I drink a beer sometimes in my car too in the mountains after a long drive, so what? You can drink 3 beers and still be legally under the limit. Cops understand this as well, thats why there is a .08 limit, its not ZERO TOLERANCE.

No more stoned driving -- Colorado is passing THC limits for DUI Colo. may set limits for driving after marijuana use - The Denver Post This is pretty fucked up... I believe the blood level is 5ng/ml. I need to do a bit more research, but I think if you're a fairly heavy smoker (i.e. a few times a day), then your levels are pretty much always going to be at this level or higher. So basically you won't be able to drive ever without risk of getting a DUI. Way to go Colorado!!! What is motivating this law? Is there really a problem with stoned Rating: 5
