Judge (literally) sniffs out offender who attends court with weed hidden in sock

[QUOTE=No Party Hats;52611402]Comparing alcohol to weed is like comparing weed to amphetamines, theres absolutely no comparison between the two in terms of affect, dosage, tolerance, etc.[/QUOTE]

Well, the similarity between the two is "both will affect your mental state"

Which is why you shouldn't fucking drive after/while smoking like a retard.

Edit:

Also I think the scope of this thread has sorta kinda gone off the rails, so ima stop here.

[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;52608944]Well, yeah, naturally. I didn't mean to imply otherwise. The more impaired you are, the more severe the punishment. There's even a buffer zone with alcohol, wherein you are permitted to drive after drinking so long as your blood alcohol content hasn't reached a particular threshold, and I think that's just fine. The difficulty here comes in the sense that (to my knowledge) there aren't any objective tests to determine how high somebody is. With alcohol, you can simply measure blood alcohol content, but marijuana isn't quite so quick, easy, or certain. Since weed can hang out in your system for weeks, despite only impairing you for a few hours, how do we avoid "false positives" on scene? In cases where a driver [I]is[/I] clearly high, how do we objectively measure [I]how[/I] high they are to determine how impaired their abilities may have been?

There are some practical challenges, certainly, but it's important that we find solutions for them.[/QUOTE]

I mean officers can use their discretion, have you heard of field sobriety tests? The fact that so many people use weed medically, and the fact that with a tolerance, the substance becomes much much less intoxicating (I know alcohol builds tolerance, but in my experience with it it has always fucked me up with a good dose), means I don't think it's necessarily always bad to drive with any marijuana in your system. However it should definitely be avoided unless safe and completely necessary because it can get you in big legal trouble, because cops, as you said, can't reliably test for how intoxicated you are.

Weed like fucks you up. It blinds you. You can't walk straight. Your eyes won't be on the road but every fucking taco-bell you drive past you won't be able to help it you will KILL SOMEONE.
