The Great Kazoo's Feedback

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.

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