    That does make sense. I wonder if we can figure out a way to test if people are currently under the influence of THC rather than having possibly done it days before?

    It sucks here in Indiana- if you have more than a nanogram THC in your system and you get in a serious auto accident, it counts as an OWI. I use medically, so I’m basically fucked if I ever get in a serious accident. Thankfully, I’m a good driver who has never been in more than a very low-speed fender bender when I was at fault and I wait until I’m not high anymore before I drive, but it really scares me. I refuse to drive at night unless it’s a real emergency because I’m really scared of getting into a serious accident because my vision is impaired.

      That is entirely unenforceable if gets descheduled… It’s questionable as is, but there’s a vague implication that there’s a federal violation involved despite the obvious.

      How do they prosecute someone for impairment they can’t prove though? There exists a shadow of a doubt, inherently… It’s a complete non-starter…
