Again how is one supposed to know how much is in their system?
For alcohol & most other medications, one can figure out how long one must wait for your body to pass the active ingredients.

If one medicates in the evening, are they ok to drive the following morning? How are they supposed to be sure?

How does a "high driver" drive? Is it worse or better than an average driver? No matter how you might feel about your abilities to drive under the influence, how about all the studies that show a "high driver" drives just as good or safer than a non-high driver.

I personally believe MJ can affect one's ability to drive but it depends on how much you consume & your personal tolerance. I also believe that MJ doesn't affect your ability to make proper decision, unlike alcohol. I've never heard "I was so stoned last night, I shouldn't of drove" - but I hear that about getting drunk all the time! I have heard,"Wow I'm so stoned - I can't drive" - that person realizes they are in no condition to drive due to being stoned and chooses not too. I've never had a stoner argue with me about getting their car keys back either.

I completely agree that cops should go after anyone driving reckless, whether it's because they're high, drunk, eating, texting, changing the radio station, sneezing, tired or beating their kids in the backseat.... Reckless driving is just that reckless driving. Driving is too dangerous an activity for anyone to be distracted by anything. If getting stoned doesn't distract you from driving, then so be it. If it does distract you, I feel a responsible "stoner" will realize & understand that risk and make the correct decision.

Of course there are idiots out there, stoner or not, who will drive reckless no matter if they are too tired, eating, drunk, stoned, beating their kids in the backseat, texting or just distracted by that cutie jogging along the street.

My advice w/r/t alcohol and other drugs is identical.

As for the per se standard, I think it would be a great idea for drivers under 21. I'm not opposed to a universal standard in principle, but I question whether it is needed. I would welcome increased police efforts to stop and arrest high drivers, with or without this bill.
