How Driving While Stoned, Drunk Is Different

How Driving While Stoned, Drunk Is Different

When it comes to smoking marijuana and driving, many variables affect impairment — the potency of the drug, the tolerance of the toker, when the drug was taken, how the drug was taken — making guidelines difficult to implement. But with some states decriminalizing the possession of weed, the feds are investigating a pot version of the .08 breath alcohol concentration set as the legal driving limit in most of the country.

A new study by the National Institute on Drug Abuse finds that drivers with blood concentrations of 13.1 ug/L THC, which is more than twice the 5 ug/L limit in Washington and Colorado, exhibit impairment similar to those with a .08 breath alcohol concentration, reports Time.

The small study of 18 occasional pot smokers between 21 and 37 involved a 45-minute driving simulator in a 1996 Malibu sedan at a University of Iowa dome. Not only did researchers test different combinations of high or low concentrations of THC, alcohol, the combination of the two, and placebos, but they also looked at 250 parameters of driving, with a focus on weaving.

While alcohol affected both lateral acceleration (weaving speed) and lane departures per minute, marijuana alone did not, reports Reason Magazine, which takes issue with current limits: “The five-nanogram cutoff in practice means that many regular cannabis consumers can never legally drive, even when they’re not impaired, which hardly seems sensible or fair.” (What happens when mixing alcohol and marijuana?)

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

Ive been too stoned before to drive, that's for sure. That being said most chronic smokers will never be below cutoff levels. In the end it boils down to the individual officer whos evaluating you on if you can still function physically and mentally. :/ Not really any chemical test that's going to be fair with regard to tolerances.

I stopped smoking for about a month and took a massive dab which murdered me, needless to say I tried to merge on this road with 2 lanes of traffic still going :lol: I definitely can't drive while super baked. And driving while drunk is just fucking retarded. I do drive better after a few beers though

Dui laws need to just be as simple as passing a physical/mental exam. I don't care if your drunk, stoned, tripping, to old, to short, to stupid to drive, if you can't stay in the proper lanes, and prove that you can drive safely, you shouldn't be driving period. Doesn't matter what's in your blood, just that can drive safe, and prove it to the officer.
