Is Arizona next?

12.20.21

We were successful getting the state of Colorado to amend its Driver Education Handbook to educate new teen drivers about the dangers of drugged driving.  Not just marijuana-impaired driving, but driving under the influence of any number of drugs or their combinations.  We expect the revised manual to be published early next year.  It will be available on the CDOT website.

Learning of this success, Sally Schindel asked if the same could be done in … READ MORE

Why parents are testing their kids for drug use

Introduction

Proponents of marijuana[1] legalization tout the drug’s safety and emphasize some of its medicinal properties.  They have been successful in achieving legalization of marijuana in many jurisdictions, for medical and/or recreational use.  Widespread use has enabled scientists to better understand two long-recognized safety concerns of the drug:

This was part of a nationwide effort on the part of many activists encouraging the Federal Government to take action against the out-of-control commercialization of marijuana in Colorado and elsewhere.  Our letter was specifically tailored to deal with drugged driving

 

As a representative of victims of drugged driving, I respectfully request that you impose a moratorium on opening … READ MORE

The folly of a 5 ng/ml THC inference level

07.10.21

It hasn’t worked for Colorado, but that’s not stopping defense attorney/Senator Nathan Manning from trying to weaken Ohio’s drugged driving laws with his proposed SB 203.

Manning hopes to emulate Colorado by replacing Ohio’s current 2 ng/ml THC per se statute with a rebuttable inference that a driver is DUI if the THC blood level is at least 5 ng/ml.  Even sillier, he adds a further inference if the THC level in urine is 25 … READ MORE
