Study: Marijuanas Impact On Driving Is Strain-Specific
Its never a great idea to drive a motor vehicle while impaired, but only in certain circumstances is the act illegal.
And, according to a new study, drivers who use cannabis might not feel or perform as impaired as someone else who used the same amount, but a different strain.
In fact, some cannabis-using drivers might experience a positive effect on their driving performance (but try telling that to a traffic cop, or to an angry judge in traffic court).
Impairment is defined as a state of weakened or diminished function, but not all impairments are treated equally.
A driver awake for 20 hours or more drives with the same impairment as someone with a 0.08 blood-alcohol contentthe legal limit in most states, and the result of a couple of beers for most adultsbut tired drivers dont face the same criminal penalties and social opprobrium.
But what about someone driving after using cannabis? Its an issue that state legislatures and law-enforcement agencies continue to struggle with, even as more and more states legalize marijuana.
Theres no doubt that cannabis impairsbut how much, and how much is acceptable? The short answers are we dont know, but state law doesnt care. สล็อต เติม true wallet
Since cannabis metabolitesfor now, the standard that judges how much cannabis is in a human bodyare fat-soluble, they can remain detectable in human blood or saliva long after the psychoactive effects have worn off. Thats one reason why marijuana breathalyzer tests that quickly and conclusively measure a marijuana-using drivers impairment have proven elusive.
Nevertheless, many states have imposed limits of how much THC metabolites can be present in a drivers bloodand some states have thrown out those limits after they failed to convince juries and judges in court.
Colorado, for example, used to impose a limit of 5 ng of THC per mL of blood, but after some drivers challenged that standard in court and won, the state now declares a marijuana-using driver impaired if they show impairment. |
