JFC. Making weed legal will not make people go all reefer madness. People that do not drink and drive will not all of a sudden toke and drive. Besides driving while high is already covered under the law. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that a brain surgeon is far more intelligent than you and if that person does not already come to work and perform surgeries while drunk or high, then they are not going to start after legalization.

Apply your same dumbass logic to guns...your right to a gun ends when my freedom is threatened. That is every gun grabber's viewpoint because guns are the boogeyman and here you are using their logic. You even go further and think that the only way weed should be legal is if it can be rapidly tested for. Sounds a lot like liberals and their want for federal training and licensure for a person to own a gun.
Moot point once federally legal.

You done preaching? To say you’re reaching is a gross understatement.

Guns? Lmfao. False equivalence and has absolutely 0 parallel to the current discussion. It’s already illegal to shoot a gun while driving a car or flying a plane, or performing surgery. You’re a sharp one!

You sound like a 13 year old throwing a fit because she can’t have her way.

There's also no way to tell exactly how much weed is in someone's system that you can do on the side of the road

Naive, lol? I was going to say that about you but held back. And I knew we'd reach the point quickly where you'd equate marijuana to alcohol.

You missed the point.

Where are the specific regulations in this law regarding the numerous examples I pointed out? In addition, how about the protections (or lack thereof) with respect to lawsuits when using/partaking as will now be allowed. I'm not sure you comprehend how massive the legal mess this will bring. You like to think this is the same as alcohol but it isn't alcohol.
I didn't miss your point, your point is irrelevant. You're putting the cart before the horse. Regulations will have to change, as they do when anything major is changed. But you can't say that because there is not currently a regulation that there can never be one.

It will be very easy to adapt policies based on what is already in place for those professions based on alcohol policy.

To that article you posted, seems to be cases of state licensing boards being slow on getting with the times and/or not sure how to change since state and federal laws are contradictory. Will be much easier to address once the laws fall inline with each other.

Funny thing, while looking up federal regs for pilots and alcohol found out their BAC has to be below 0.04% and/or 8 hours before duty. Figured it would have been 0%.

There's also no way to tell exactly how much weed is in someone's system that you can do on the side of the road

Yet people are arrested for driving high all the time. Are field sobriety tests not admissible as evidence anymore? I know here you can refuse that and a breathalyzer, but you can’t refuse a blood test. Regardless each state will deal with it differently.

Lol, your whole argument is irrelevant. You choose to ignore the elephant in the room under the guise of "but it is the same thing as alcohol therefore this isn't an issue." You have much to learn my friend.

Hint, you can't have it both ways. You talk about how everything will fall in line but then admit that "each state will deal with it differently." This is a legal quagmire.

He’s arguing to argue and actually has no point that makes any real sense.

It is already both ways. The federal government does not enact DUI laws, states do. The federal government does not operate licensing agencies for doctors, states do. States set their own legal systems. However, the federal government does oversee aviation.

So the federal government will have to amend their policies once weed is taken off schedule 1. States will be “free” to then come up with their own laws as it should be. Getting even further into the weeds counties (at least in Texas) set their own rules for alcohol sale. I don’t agree with it, but there are counties that are “dry” and some stricter than others. I prefer how AZ handles alcohol (more or less buy anything anywhere anytime). I would imagine each state would adopt a similar strategy with weed.

Now as far as testing for “highness” goes. Once federally legal the floodgates will open for research as it will be easier to get federal funds for the research and access to research material. That goes not just for making a breathalyzer, but also to gain a better understanding of drug effects.

Are we going to ignore that alcohol has been around since the inception of the car, DUI laws have been around since the early 1900’s yet breathalyzers were not in common use until the 1980’s? Yes, Prohibition was in that timeframe, but I think we can all agree that was a **** up.

Maybe I’m not tracking your stance correctly. Do you think everyone that smokes is a character out of Half-Baked?

If you can pass a field sobriety test, doesn't that suffice? If you are intoxicated and fail, you should be held accountable. The BAC is set so low any normal human could pass a sobriety test with flying colors and be over the limit. As for critical jobs, sure test to more stringent standards just like they already do. Pilots are already held to half of the legal to drive limit.

I can only speak for Florida, but you are correct. The problem that I see is that sobriety exercises were created in the late 1970s to early 1980s to test for alcohol impairment. Research needs to be done in this area. I agree with Tob, this is a huge legal quagmire.
