Ok, but let me wait three hours before PMing you congrats.

I've heard it's a lot more difficult to test whether someone's high right that moment since blood tests vary due to THC staying in your system for so long, and everything else is way less reliable. It's going to be interesting to see how they solve that.

Personally, if a police officer thinks I'm high and asks me for a blood test I'm just going to concede on the spot even if I'm not high. I hope they find a way that doesn't provoke such a common phobia. It'd be like testing someone's intoxication with spiders.

Maybe do a saliva test first; if that comes back positive, then give the suspect the option of conceding then and there, or taking the blood test?

I've heard a mouth swab turns up positive if they've smoked within the past 8 hours or so, which is definitely long enough to not be high anymore.

Anybody got a link?

Oh, is weed in Colorado a 21 thing? That makes sense. For some reason nobody ever seems to mention the age restrictions in their legalization frenzy. I guess it'll be as hard to get as liquor now, i.e. not hard at all.

Colorado now treats Marijuana like alcohol. It is Illegal to be caught driving under the influence (though they haven't really set a standard for that yet) and plans are to tax it as much as possible.

It's simple, if you have THC in your blood you are under the influence. Simple, cold, logical, and doesn't play favorites, just what the law should be.

Am I the only one that failed to have a solid election day drunk going?

yes, though my drank stopped at about 5 drinks.

Well that was... brief.

With alcohol it only counts if it is more than a certain amount in the blood.

So is it over? Now I just need to wait the 30 seconds for it to show up on youtube...

THC can remain in your blood for up to a couple weeks after you smoke. I don't know about you, but I'm definitely not under the influence a week after I smoke. It's the fat solubility that screws it up.

Also there's still this deal with field blood tests. I think those are a little too invasive to be routine tests. I'm fine with taking a breathalyzer if I'm sober but seem drunk, but not giving blood if I'm sober but seem high.

Based on other people's personal accounts, it doesn't even seem like driving while high on marijuana is that much of a problem.  The people I know who admit to having done it say it made them drive really slow and paranoid.  So at worst, they become a nuisance on the road, but not a danger?

[kaijyuu]

Any impairment's a danger, considering. I dunno if it's worse or better than alcohol, but neither really should be allowed.
