In Washington state, where we recently decriminalized marijuana use, the DUI standards for pot are actually much stronger than for alcohol. This is despite the fact that pot use doesn't impair driving ability in the same way as alcohol.
Moreover, people are already smoking pot, a lot, millions of people. Stoned driving is probably already about as common as it ever will be.

- jophde 13y agoIs there even a good way to test if someone is high in the field like a breathalyzer? I have always been told if you don't admit they can't prove it.
- chilldream 13y agoBreathalyzers aren't good; they're convenient enough that courts ignore the fact that they aren't good. Same with drug dogs. They'll find a way to fake it. http://www.popehat.com/2013/03/04/on-the-internet-nobody-knows-youre-a-dog-at-the-supreme-court-nobody-cares/ http://www.popehat.com/2013/03/04/on-the-internet-nobody-kno... http://www.duicentral.com/dui/the-dui-exception/ http://www.duicentral.com/dui/the-dui-exception/
