man I telling you that's not how it works... did you even read the article you posted? :dead: You realize these kits have already been around and are not heavily used because there's no concensus on them...

look at what they said about Ohio which already has legal weed and their own guidelines. Look at what the article says about there not being an established system for when or how the kit will be applied. Cops already have them but they are not part of the current sobriety road test. They are sometimes used at hospital if you do crash. JUST LIKE ALCOHOL. the test will gage LEVEL of INTOXICATION not just I smoked weed today but what is a safe threshold.. none of this has been determined yet and because science isn't conclusive on what constitutes impairment from Marijuana it will take a while to get a standard for enforcement.
Did u read the article. If they claim there will be a certain level needed to be in your sytem, then that would mean if you would have to wait to drive after smoking so your level can decrease. Which i highly doubt that would make a difference to heavy smokers. In Michigan cops are already using them in certain counties as a test run. And yes they don’t know the level of impairment which means it will be up to the cops to lock you up or not. How do you think that will fare with black people.

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.

For marijuana, that will prove to be difficult. Even as more states continue to adopt medical and recreational marijuana laws, there is no scientific consensus on what amount of marijuana in saliva or blood constitutes impairment.

the point you keep missing.

Opinions won't hold up in court...

The accuracy of the saliva tests has been called into question numerous times by marijuana advocates. Michael Komorn, president of the Michigan Medical Marijuana Association,

"If we can't use the system functionally for legal reasons, we aren't going to spend money on it," said Officer Matthew McPhail to The Sacramento Bee.

The reason why they aren't widely used right now regardless of weed being legal or illegal... they can be challenged for accuracy

Unlike alcohol, marijuana stays in the body much longer -- so blood tests requested by law enforcement can't indicate when someone consumed the substance.

In Colorado, where recreational marijuana has been legal for four years, their state law sets the legal limit at five nanograms of active THC in blood. Anything over that amount puts a driver at risk for being prosecuted for driving under the influence -- a penalty that only increases if children are in the vehicle. In addition to drug recognition training, police use blood tests to determine impairment.
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 :wtb:
