"We have a problem," claimed Rep. Rhonda Fields (D-Aurora), despite the fact that there has been no rash of stoned-driving accidents. "The problem is, we have people who are deciding to smoke marijuana and get behind the wheel."

Fixed it for her. She seems to have a "problem" with everything.

Surprised? Legalized weed has always been about money.

Granted THC is actually a difficult drug to quantify for any forensic timeline or impairment, but that doesn't mean these people shouldn't be prosecuted. Pot slows your reaction time and that can be dangerous when driving. If these people are impaired they should be prosecuted, just like someone who is intoxicated by alcohol or prescription drugs. You want to use in a safe manner, I'm all for your freedom. You want to pot and possibly endanger the public, different story.

*Warning - mini rant* While pot is safer than many drugs in many ways, it still is a pharmaceutically active substance. There are situations where having used marijuna could result in fatality where it wouldn't have otherwise. Also, smoking marijuna still builds up crap in your lungs, despite what many of our local asthmatics/marijuana smokers seem to believe.

Side note, I just had a lecture from one of the county's forensic pathologists. He said that so many people show up with thc in their blood that they don't attribute it to a cause of death, but that didn't mean that it didn't possibly attribute to it.

And back room deals with the Atty General. Pass gun laws, we look the other way on weed.

I'm all for it. If I can get a DWI for having two beers and driving they should get similar treatment.

While the arbitrary level they pickef infuriates me, I realized that you could be several times over that limit and no one would even think to test you.

It's not even a close comparison though. .05 nanograms is far less than what will fail you on a drug test, and you can fail a drug test as mich as a month after using weed. How do you feel 30 days after having two drinks?

I will say that it will all be subjective. If you can prove that at a certain level your reaction times are fine and all the other crap then it will get tossed.

Just saying.
