Legalized Weed and driving

News flash - people have been driving high for nearly 50 years. I don't think the legalization is going to see much difference on the highway. Impaired driving is impaired driving regardless of the substance. The same field tests for sobriety apply. The issue is trying to define a legal threshold. It has to be a blood test as THC is fat-soluble and thu stays in your system and urine for weeks though you aren't impaired. The standard should be the field test with video and audio recording. If the person feels the office was not right he can take it to court and let a judge or jury see the recording and make a judgment. Some alcohol users are impaired though below the legal threshold.

True.

In the mean time, the Obama admin continues cracking down on California medical marijuana collectives and the commercial property owners who rent space to them.

I like Seattle PD's statement. They have a sense of humor:
On the city's police website, spokesman Jonah Spangenthal-Lee said: "The department's going to give you a generous grace period to help you adjust to this brave, new, and maybe kinda stoned world we live in."

"The police department believes that, under state law, you may responsibly get baked, order some pizzas and enjoy a Lord of the Rings marathon in the privacy of your own home, if you want to."
