What a strange question. It might surprise you that chief lobbyist for making marijuana legal is John Boehner, the former Speaker of the House and a staunch Republican. |
Put the bong down and think. He is getting paid to make marijuana legal. When he was in Congress he didn't support it. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/03/us/politics/john-boehner-marijuana-cannabis.html&ved=2ahUKEwilx8j-0OeFAxX7FVkFHcOTCG4QFnoECBUQAQ&usg=AOvVaw32BShCKu4vQ7lIQkeUMTRu |
Article says that Maryland is not even one of the states with permissive (to drivers) laws about searching cars. Maryland only prohibitis searching the body of the driver without probable cause for suspecting the driver is high. The controversy is about pretexts for searching for evidence about other crimes, not for enforcing high driving laws. |
What is MD’s laws regarding a passenger smoking? |
Maryland needs to have a referendum on the ballot requiring drivers to be under the influence of weed. Merely legalizing it wasn’t enough. Too many people aren’t toking up. They need to be forced to get onboard. |
Don't you have homework to do? |
???? Que? |
You all voted to legalize it now are shocked 😲 😳 at how bad the entire DMV stinks. You reap what you sow.

This was always my argument against legalization...you can't test for it like bac. No one listened. |
Driving high is not a primary offense. Brought to you by your state legislature. |
My test is my nose, and when some high idiot rear ended me at a red light and got out of his dad’s car to give me his scanty insurance information, my detecter went off the rails. So yeah, weed makes for great driving. |
This is just complete nonsense. DUI is DUI. Please cite the state law that supports your BS. |
