Some in Colorado predicted a spike in driving while high once that state legalized pot. It happened and continues to trend upward there. It'll happen here too. Someone will have to die before it gets enough attention though.

According to Colorado State Patrol data, arrests increased 90% for drivers impaired by cannabis and alcohol, and 17% for drivers impaired by cannabis and other substances between 2019 and 2020. crashes with active THC above the legal limit of 5 nanograms increased from 33 in 2017 to 49 in 2019.

well how do you know if it was MJ smoke? I mean, maybe it was cigarettes. Or a cigar. Or vape.

Maybe they were shooting off fireworks in the car; you dont know.

The smell is pretty distinctive.

As I said, I smelled it first (from car vents) then looked out and saw the van.

You were driving on the highway with someone like that and got close enough to determine how their eyes looked? Really?

DP.

You can smell it coming from cars in front of you on the highway (no pun intended).

But that’s not what she said. She said she saw the smoke, implying they’re hotboxing while driving, and that she saw their eyes were glazed. I’m not sure I could tell if someone’s eyes are glazed from several feet away, through 2 closed windows and a cloud of smoke. But she said smoke and glazed eyes, not smelled weed.

Waste of time.

The police are not going to do anything about a call like this.

Besides, certain people legalized pot in the DMV. What did you expect would happen?

That’s absolutely not true. Even though pot is legalized, driving while under the influence is not legal. Cell phones are legal but texting while driving is not. Do you want to ban cell phones? I’m quite certain more drivers are dangerous because of cell phone habits than weed habits.
