HB1024 will go before congress this year. With it comes discussion of finding a way to determine a legal limit to how medicated a patient may be while driving. Much the same way that patrol officers calculate blood alcohol levels for drivers who have been drinking. The only question is, how would they do that? If someone has medicated within the last 24 hours, significant amounts of THC and other cannabinoids will remain in the blood stream, so even a blood test wont be able to decisively decide whether a patient was over some limit decided to be too "high" to safely drive.

I've posted links to several studies on our blog, Cars and Cannabis, that suggest it isn't all that dangerous to be behind the wheel after consuming cannabis, but how can and officer determine how much is too much, or is it an all or nothing deal?
