Again, just as with opiates, the test would likely only be administered following severe accidents. Speeders, stop sign violators and Nate's will be safe.

Oh, and on another note I got a photo radar ticket in the mail today. It was very satisfying to throw it away and not give Denver any money.

I'd wager most anyone who has done any sort of drug (weed, booze, tobacco, cocaine, heroin, etc.) tried it before 25. That's like part of the human condition.

That's what everyone with mush for brains says...

What about this from that study:

That's the initial non-zero per se limit. That is, people show some impairment at that level. The study also states that that level is roughly in line with someone with a BAC of .05% (well below the legal limit).

The study makes no recommendation for an upper limit, unfortunately, which would give an approximation of THC concentration in line with a BAC of .08% (presumably).
 
I think I am going to go home and watch How High, Half Baked, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back tonight....

That's exactly my point. Somewhere to start versus zero. That's where the impairments start showing up.

That is not where the impairments to the person start affecting the driving though. As the study points out, at that level of THC the subjects drove the same as someone who was not legally impaired under the alcohol laws.

Like I said many times, just because you the person are impaired, it doesn't mean your driving is.
 
Because of this discussion thread I felt compelled to get super stoned and drive. I smoked 2 joints, or about a gram of marijuana and made it safely during a 1.3 hour drive to New Orleans. No babies or kittens were killed.

Well, that settles it. Driving high is never dangerous.
