Casperson said he wanted the state to come up with a reasonable standard for drug testing to determine at what level someone is impaired by drugs.
the point you keep missing.
Opinions won't hold up in court...
The reason why they aren't widely used right now regardless of weed being legal or illegal... they can be challenged for accuracy
Active meaning just like alcohol you can drink to a certain threshold. they are not saying you CAN'T have marijuana in your system, they are looking for a safe legal limit that will eventually be uniform just like for alcohol and all this will have to be back by SCIENCE to stand up in court.
In laymans terms you can smoke and drive to an extent and Colorado has their legal threshold however much 5 nanograms is.. so rather than brehs just being bent out of shape keep and eye on this progress and learn how it will work, what your limit will be in Michigan for ACTIVE THC.. to avoid impaired charges.
Maybe don't smoke a blunt to the face and if you do wait till you come down it's really not that hard. Don't dab and drive or eat edibles and drive. You complicating this to fear monger when it's just as easy to learn how to maneuver within laws.
I've been wondering how dui enforcement will play out with the change in marijuana laws.
I plead guilty to a dui (at recommendation of public pretender) in Northern AZ for failing a piss test. Traffic stop cops swore up and down I was drunk driving, claimed to smell it, so arrested me and took me to the station. Blew clean breathylizer so they then made me piss in a cup, I had rolling papers in my car. Failed for weed only.
Granted this was more than 10 years ago. But I doubt I would have beat it if I took it to trial, and probably would have been even more expensive to pay a lawyer to find out. Cops said I was impaired, said I failed the tests that gave them the right to search my urine or blood. I don't even remember them looking at my tongue or anything like that. In my statement, and official report later visable to courts, I claimed to have last smoked the prior weekend. Cops said point blank, if it's in your system we'll charge you and they fukking did. If the cops opine that you're impaired, there's no challenging that.
Maybe with the medical weed legal here now since then has forced them to (re)define parameters for dui legislation, I hope they have. Couple years back I'd thought about seeing if an appeal was possible, but I probably gave up those rights in pleading, not to mention the costs probably not worth it now anyway.
For whatever that's worth...
Man fukk the police
