Man do people really think it's OK to drive high now that pot is legal? It's the same as driving drunk. Booze is legal too, but that doesn't mean you can drive after drinking it.

I'd bet you a new mtech bumper that I could be high as a kite around you for weeks and you'd never be the wiser.

So now every accident is because of potheads? Please stop being so ignorant, we all know they were driving stoned before it was legal.

If you are so sure he was driving under the influence, why didnt you have him arrested? By letting him go, he might get into another accident and hurt somebody. So you are as guilty as he is for letting him go, or maybe you were just making a generalization that he was high and you really are not sure rather he was or not.

I am from Washington also. There are specific rules in the law for DUI of pot. It's very very small. Something like .01 micrograms or something. Essentially if you smoke and drive you are DUI as I understand the law. It's akin or more stringent than alcohol. What we don't yet understand is the limit at which you are impaired under pot as no significant studies have yet to be done, so the DUI limit will be tested in court.

Now the rub.... It's a blood test and can't be done on site. But if they are DUI on pot they are clearly liable.

We shall see how this all works out in the state and for me the jury is still out but its the law for now. So I will be a more vigilant driver going forward.

Ok all done.

this also depends on the persons tolerance and the strain/grade of the pot, and you cant really go test people for being high while driving it stays in your system for a long period of time. if i smoke today it will show up 2 days form now. what if i get into an accident would that 2 days later be impaired driving because thc is in my system?

I personally believe unless its stupidly obvious that your hot boxing, stoned, and reeking of weed, that you could easily avoid this situation

Either way, you're safe, bumpers can be fixed, insurance should be covering it. Everything works out.

Okay smartass, like I had no idea....

Furthermore, don't talk s*it when you weren't the one there. Did I disclose every single detail with you?

Not to in any way condone impaired driving, but using measured concentrations of chemicals as a correlation to driving competence is quite an imperfect system . Still, I understand why they do it, and try to obey the law (that one anyway :-).

That said, I have little doubt that most of the truly scary drivers I see in my day to day commuting are probably neither drunk nor stoned.

[alexx03]

this thread makes me laugh because i was sober for the only accidents i have had and not high....

[edirtaynine]

thread backfire.

You should probably smoke some too, it will make you feel better about your bumper getting fucked up.
