[QUOTE="2000gt4.6, post: 15537353, member: 123767"] There is no current test, especially after death, that can determine if you were under the influence during the accident... Use the drug on Wensday, don't Thursday, die in a wreck on Friday and it will show the same result at smoking it while going down the road and getting in a wreck. And that being the case, I would be highly surprised if the positive rate didn't go up after legalization....More people overall will be using the drug. Higher percentage using means more likely someone in a fatal accident will test positive. Are they seeing an overall increase in traffic deaths? Is it higher than the national trend (story the other day about 2015 fatalities going up due to cheap gas etc). Also, and I hate to be an ass, but there are 3.8 million licensed drivers in Colorado . And millions more driving thru each year from out of state. 90 people died who tested positive for pot seems pretty low in my opinion, and there is simply no way you could possibly blame every one of them on the drug when you know it tests positive up to 30 days after use. Alcohol, according to CODOT, is a factor in 32 percent of the fatal crashes. How many of those also were using pot? Looks like a huge stretch to me to even suggest it's a real problem. A 9 percent increase when the new overall number was 90? Whoop de do. [/QUOTE]
