Yes. The legislative argument is what is going to be the defined limits of intoxication. You can drive with alcohol in your system and be under the legal defined limit. Right now, there is no legal defined limit for THC, so the prosecution hinges on officer observations and the proof, if you will, comes from the blood results. Failure to comply with the expressed consent law causes an administrative penalty of losing your license to drive for one year as well as the criminal prosecution in court. No test doesn't mean no prosecution; just a harder time in the prosecution.

Right on Hatidua, that plant and the business it creates has kept my security business alive through these tough times. I've seen electricians, plummers get work and real estate that has been vacant sell. It is already better than before and the opposition to its progress is literaly dying off. I cant wait till everyone in congress has played Grand Theft Auto 3.
I don't want the Feds telling ME what I can and can not do.....I want them to tell HIM what he can't do....Talk about your flip floppers You can't have it both ways you know? Otherwise you might get called the H word.
There are two kinds of limits on our liberties under the law.
Malum In Se and Malum Prohibitum
Actions and things that are Malum In Se are illegal because they are inherently wrong, evil or infringe on the rights of your fellow citizens (in other words "wrong in and of themselves).
Actions and things that are Malum Prohibitum are illegal simply because they have been made illegal (in other words wrong because somebody said so).
It would seem to me that a system of laws grounded in individual liberty and constituted under the precept that we are ruled by laws and not by men would be primarily (almost exclusively) on Malum In Se with little to no Malum Prohibitum laws allowed.
So I'd say that anyone that smokes pot is an idjut, but there is nothing inherently evil about it (providing it to children and driving under the influence notwithstanding).

Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".
