This type of reductionist, binary thinking is not productive. Especially since there is no single standard for "intoxication". Case in point - I have smoked cannabis for close to thirty years at this point. I was also diagnosed with ADD (now usually referred to as ADHD) at the age of eight. Cannabis doesn't really intoxicate me at all at normal, common doses when smoked. If anything, it increases my focus control and helps me stay alert, especially with a strain that tends to have more THC than CBD. However, I also personally know people who could take two hits from the exact same weed and be completely out of it. When the range of effects are so wide, how can you even begin to have an objective standard? Either you set the threshold too low, and people like me are considered legally "intoxicated" despite the additional alertness, or you set the threshold too high and you have people who are not considered legally "intoxicated" but are out of their mind.
