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

[DenverRelief]

Maintain perspective, people. Claire is an ally in the effort to liberalize marijuana laws. She isn't the enemy.

I agree with you that Levy has been a proponent of medical marijuana, yet this is not a "liberalization" of law.

Levy is not an enemy, but this bill simply cannot be considered "pro marijuana". At its face, it is an overreaction to the supposed dangers of driving under the influence of marijuana that do not exist. That is not liberal, it's fearful and reactionary.

Coffee can make someone a dangerous driver, or a cell phone, or prescriptions drugs, or a person's simple inability to pay attention to what they are doing.

There is no public safety issue here, there is no rash of high drivers running over children...the problem with bad drivers is people not marijuana.

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
