A blood level limit was rejected by lawmakers for the third time just this past May. Many people think that the blood standard is an unfair assessment of impairment. I would agree that it depends upon the person. The dilemma is how to "protect and serve" from a law enforcement standpoint? Those drive responsibly ads will no doubt be updated to include marijuana.
Exactly, the blood standard they rejected would basically make you "too high" to operate heavy machinery for 48 hours or so. Even if they relax that standard greatly, would you still drive in a state that allows mandatory stops at police checkpoints? A DUI is very profitable to the state, they will enforce it. Which basically means pot smokers cant drive if they enact such legislation. I think we just opened a huge can of "unintended consequences".

Just of few random thoughts.....I know it is early in the process and a lot has to be figured out on a local level, but for those counties and municipalites that do not prohibit licensed marijuana facilities, I am guessing that the quality of "recreational" marijuana may be lower than "medical grade" because the expectations will be lower since there are no medical conditions to address. How many of you existing dispensaries will abondon your existing license and go for the retail license? Rating: 5
