I feel like we've gotten a little off subject. lol

Just please stay out of the passing lane unless you are actively passing thanks love you

yeah, he gets paid to put as many people as possible into for-profit prisons... :/

Mammoth is awesome. Probably need advance tickets.

Which God. And which people. Pretty sure the Abrahamic God delights in death.

I'm pretty sure God thinks we should have laws to deter drunk drivers from killing people.

Especially as someone who was arrested for a DUI for thc may also be required to have the ignition interlock system installed in their vehicle and will have to pay all the fees for that when they are being tested for a substance they have never been found guilty to have used while driving

In order for there to be a tort there has to be a harm. Let God decide

From what I've heard/read it was a gas leak.

Employees smelled gas. Called it into the gas company. No one showed up.

If a chem major could make an accurate test for the short term they would become a multi millionaire overnight.

Kudos. The existing law can saddle people with a life altering DUI solely because testing is able to detect THC far longer than alcohol. If politicians or police were being charged with DUI for the drinks they had a month ago, the law would be changed before tomorrow.

Alcohol effects people differently too though. If you're taking that tack, you would be suggesting get rid of the blood alcohol content laws as well. They are also generalizations based upon non-specific data.

I mean, we could do that, but it doesn't have as great of a logic or fairness justification. And I personally do not know that I would want to.

Are you sure youre not mixing up the research that focused on CBD? It seems their research conflicts with your point.

I don't think thr Colorado Department of Transportation would make a statement like "There are many misconceptions about marijuana use, including rumors that it can’t impair your ability to drive or that it can actually make you a safer driver. Several scientific studies indicate that this is false" if their scientific studies said otherwise. https://www.codot.gov/safety/impaired-driving/druggeddriving/data

How to you gage what that level is though? THC effects people differently.

How do you prevent it from being the money-making machine that alcohol-related DUI’s has become?

Is this the same guy who was scammed trying to make a movie on the nba ref scandal?

That makes sense. Thanks for sharing the information

> Does this require a blood test?

Yes. It is pretty standard to do blood tests in both alcohol and drug DUIs.

Alcohol also has the option, which isn't available for drug, to do a more reliable breath test on a machine that can be maintained at the police station. The breathalyzers or "preliminary breath tests" that they have on the side of the road are not admissible at trial and do not detect drugs, so they are just used as a guidepost on whether there is enough reason to send it for a more reliable test.

I was teaching in a school that was told to prepare to shelter people from Harrisburg if they need to evacuate the area. Scary time.

Well, that pic was only like four years after the oil crisis of 1979. So big gas guzzling cars/trucks probably weren't on everyone's list of desirable vehicles.

Colorado Department of Transportation did a study on the effects of cannabis on driving and found the standard of deviation was higher than the impairment.

Folks out here doing studies with government money proving smoking reasonable amounts of pot doesn’t impair driving and yet folks still want to listen to 89 years of propaganda.

In all these years the only thing that's really changed is the lettering... every giant I've seen still uses that green roof aesthetic all along its outer walking space

Yeah and I agree with that, but the article mentions NJ as an alternative despite its system currently under review by their state courts.

I suppose what I was trying to say is that I commend that rep for pushing to change the laws but I'm confused why they didn't mention what the effective/acceptable alternative would be which appears to be raising the baseline for the in the system. Does this require a blood test?

Edit: Please do not downvote u/SeptasLate for this legitimate concern.

Nothing suggests that there wouldn't be deterrents in place for impaired driving. I'm a criminal defense lawyer; allow me to explain for those who might not know.

Two types of DUI laws exist in PA, each with two sub-varieties. Those are alcohol-based DUI laws and drug based DUI laws.

Alcohol is subdivided into alcohol impairment DUIs and having a certain level of alcohol in your blood. You can be prosecuted in either circumstance.

Drug is differently subdivided into drug impairment and having ANY level of an illegal, non-prescription drug in your blood. Medical marijuana is not by prescription, only legally authorized, and so can still be prosecuted for any level.

All we have to do to make it fair, is to change marijuana from the ANY level DUI into a certain high level of THC which has been shown by study to cause impairment (like alcohol does). Right now, it's unfair because we KNOW it doesn't impair you at certain levels and yet it is still against the law and you WILL be prosecuted regardless of your lack of impairment.
