An employer can prohibit employees from smoking tobacco or pot (even where legal). The “legalization” of pot does ZERO to permit pot smokers to drive cars even when they test positive for pot use.

CHANGE THE LAW TO READ WHAT THE NEW STANDARD MEASURE OF POT IS IF THAT IS HOW YOU FEEL.

Right now it is ZERO for drivers. Saying “but it didn’t affect my ability” is total disregard for the law. Either concede that the standard for driving while having “used” alcohol is equally irrespective of ability or else go fish today. Weather looks nice.

I agree the standard for alcohol is nonsense. It all depends on the individual, age, driving experience etc.

The standard was set for financial reasons IMHO.

Much like red light cameras are placed not where they would reduce accidents but rather where they will generate revenue for right turns without a l o n g three second stop.

When the societal norm is based on BS instead of known facts it is our duty to act to change it.

When the law does not reflect reality I feel it is not only my place to work to have it changed but also to disregard said law or in the case of the red light cameras defeat the law by not turning on red at all at camera intersections.
