Too high to drive? Marijuana-friendly Colorado debates Blood-level Limits


DENVER — When is someone too stoned to drive?

The answer, it turns out, has been anything but simple in Colorado, which last fall became one of the first states in the country to legalize marijuana.

Prosecutors and some lawmakers have long pushed for laws that would set a strict blood-level limit for THC, the key ingredient in cannabis. A driver over the limit would be deemed guilty of driving under the influence, just as with alcohol.

The effects of those two items are so wildly different that the rules for alcohol cannot be applied to the use of marijuana. But that never stopped a politician from dictating laws based on emotional and hysterical beliefs.

Yeah right I'm sure. And if so I can guarantee it was the weeds fault to blame.
