If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.

We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.

Then make driving while high the crime. Punish those that commit said crime severely.

Yon, lol..thc stays in the system longer than alcohol. When a person says that we're incapable of determining whether a person was high when they were driving it's not about them being able to smoke a ton of weed..it's the fact that measuring concentration does not indicate relevant use.
It just tells you that you're dealing with a pothead. Not that the pothead is high at present moment.
It's gonna be really hard to legislate. I think we'll go draconian like usual.

Well, legislate properly, you mean.
Honestly, I think that expunging all these convictions is a good thing. America has the highest incarceration rate on the planet (over 1%; the closest figure I was able to find was South Africa during Apartheid, and it was something like 0.86%), and it seems like most of the reason it's this high is because of minor drug offenses.

You are getting as bad as Bwian about not understanding what you read. Did you notice the part where I said that we don't currently have a way of testing for it easily?
Breath analyzers currently exist that will detect use within the past couple of hours. But arguments are being made that we don't know what constitutes legal impairment. Personally, I think that any use at all within two hours prior to being tested should constitute impairment, since the only reason for smoking pot is to get high. We can have a single drink just for enjoyment, and not to get intoxicated. But everyone smokes pot exclusively to get high. So if you smoke pot and then drive, you're intentionally driving while high.
