[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Possession has been decriminalized for years. The concern is driving under the influence. Doesn't matter if it's legal or not. But police need to be able (allowed by politicians) to stop someone for that, test, and the test has to hold up in court. [/quote] The problem is the law, it's the science. There's no test for cannabis impairment comparable to what exists for alcohol. Blood alcohol level is a reliable enough indicator of impairment that most states now accept it as prima facie proof. Blood alcohol level correlates strongly enough to breath alcohol and urine alcohol levels that a breath test or urine test is accepted as evidence. Nothing of the kind exists with cannabis. And blood levels of cannabis can remain high long after impairment passes. [/quote]
