Marijuana: Facts, Myths, and plain old Stupidity.

They can do a blood test, but a blood test isn't currently able to detect current impairment. So yes they can test but it isn't useful. A blood test is a voluntary alternative to a breathalyzer for alcohol. Refer to the NHTSA.

Seriously, those quotes say it all. That is straight from the horse's mouth- the NHTSA. They say they can't test for current impairment from marijuana. I don't know how many times those quotes need to be posted before people stop arguing that it can be done.

I love that I have a biographer following me around thread to thread.

Come on now, no need to go postal over this.

No he hasn't. He said the law doesn't apply to him because he doesn't believe it's a just law so he doesn't have to follow it and feels no responsibility for consequences of breaking it.

He said that? Where? Granted, I didn't go thru all 48 pages of this current abortion, but going back to the last 8 or so it would appear that his position is that it is justified to break silly laws, not that the law wouldn't apply to him if he was caught breaking it or that he wouldn't accept the consequences.

You watch a scary movie, eat a favorite food, listen to music, cheer for a team, or have sex, you're altering the chemistry of your brain. (You'll have to take my word for it on that last one, Conan.)

LMAO! That's not really fair, though. Spanking it while looking at old Ty Detmer pics probably alters brain chemistry as well.

I think that's mostly talking about after the initial high phase (3 hours).

Agreed. People jumpin off cliffs in here.

He doesn't have a choice whether or not to accept the consequences. That wasn't the point.

No it isn't or they would have said that. It is very clear and specific.

Spanking it

Thanks for the update.

I'm confident that no matter how many times it is offered to you that there is a difference between "don't have the supplies/knowledge to do this now" and "it can't be done", you will continue to affirm the NHTSA affirmaiton of the former as evidence of the latter. It brings a smail to my face very time.
