Driving laws explained: In the medical marijuana age, how high is too high to drive?

[Warpy]

3. 20 mph down back streets

usually indicates a stoner.

People high on grass know they're impaired and tend to overcompensate. Besides driving while high really harshes the mellow.

I think the problem has been overstated to the point of "Reefer Madness" hysteria. Look at 90% of the articles that cite pot use as contributing to accidents. The fine print usually says they were drunk, too.

Grass slows reaction time, everybody knows that, and driving while ultra stoned is a very bad idea. However, as with all drugs, it depends on what the user is used to and people who use it for medical reasons are well aware of what it does to them and compensate the way I do when I'm driving on narcotics (and before any of you goes into full shriek, I'd better point out that I can't drive without them, the pain is that limiting).

Drivers who are weaving all over the place or otherwise obviously impaired should be taken off the street and sobered up or rested or have the cell phone confiscated. Police need to focus on behavior instead of the cheap excuse of possible drug use.
