And here it is...HB11-1261 - the THC Level DUI Bill

[porone]

And those laws currently say any MMJ use is impairment. Same goes for any amount of say... ambien. Anything that is a drug that affects how you drive is illegal currently. This bill would allow you some D9 THC in your system while you drive. Current law doesn't.

It also doesn't allow cops to charge you, you still have to show signs of impairment. The per se portion is written awkwardly and will be cleaned up as this continues to move through the legislature. Levy wants it to be a DUI per se (where simply hitting 5ng is a DUI, no evidence can help) but that has no support.

As it stands now there are 2 eliments to the crime.One being intoxicated.The other is driving in a manner that is a danger to others.I know I beet a duid without a lawyer and the judge said he beleived I was High as a kite but the state did not provide evidence that I was driving in any manner other than safe.

And here it is...HB11-1261 - the THC Level DUI Bill This is the first sentence of the bill: "The bill allows a person who drives with a tetrahydrocannabinols (THC) blood content of 5 nanograms or more to be charged with DUI per se." Considering the information about THC and driving out there, and the lack of a problem with drivers using cannabis, this surprises me. How did they determine the 5 nanogram benchmark? Rating: 5
