Granted, my experience is decades old, but from what I know/knew some form of specimen (hair, tongue tissue, blood) had to be sent off to a lab. Like blood tests for alcohol cannot be forced upon a possible DUI, neither can blood or tissue test be forced for a marijuana test(as far as I know). I am not sure about a urine test. So, if physical evidence such as a baggie of weed or a pipe with residue is not in the suspect's possession, it makes it hard to convict for DUI by pot. I am only speculating, and may be wrong. Modern technology may now be able to assist the street cop in proving impairment due to pot.
But, like I said before, just because it's easier to legalize some deviant action, does not make it right. Recreational use of pot is not necessary and is harmful. This has nothing to do with the comparison to alcohol usage. Legalizing alcohol was another excuse for their not being able to enforce the ban. They used the excuse of added tax revenues. Same with tobacco. There is no healthy reason for tobacco use.

This is why there is also a law prohibiting "driving while impaired" (DWI, not DUI) in many parts of the country. If you are impaired, at all - whether to legal meds that you are taking correctly as prescribed, or alcohol, or you're distracted by the phone, or even if you normally wear glasses and left them at home that day - then you are driving while impaired. If you cause an accident as a result, or break some OTHER law as a result (weaving in and out of traffic, speeding, running a stop sign, etc. etc.) then your fine will be higher because you are driving while impaired.

End drug laws and gang violence will just go away immediately.

That roar of laughter we all heard recently came from the cell blocks of Coleman prison, Marion and Sumter County jails....after reading the above! ToTV open mic night!

I think there will be an opportunity for the low-lifes and scallywags to knock you down and take your stash, because those rascals don't want to work. If you take away guns, only good people would follow the rule. If you legalize pot, there will be those impaired driving their cars at you.

There isn't an easy fix to this issue.

You can't legalize morality.

You can’t legislate common sense!

“This thread is interesting to me. I think it shows who currently is smoking it.”

Wow. Just wow!

Yeah the complete lack of logic is astounding. If you make guns illegal, then only good people will follow the rules. Because - good people never make mistakes, or have lapses in judgment, or experience periods of desperation in their lives. Good women who are law-abiding, never have abusive ex-husbands who are trying to track them down and kill them, and therefore don't need a firearm to protect themselves. Because somehow - that makes them good people? I dunno.

Cannabis is already legal in Florida, as long as you get a medical card and don't mind paying a fortune for products that need lower potencies and lower costs. People with anxiety disorders don't need to get stoned, they just need to get balance. Lower potencies can provide that. Florida does its taxpayers a huge disservice by basically extorting money from them, instead of just regulating it like they do with alcohol.

Encourage tinctures, discourage smoking, allow both, and regulate the BEHAVIORS that sometimes result from their use. No testing needed if you have a traffic stop. If you have a traffic stop it's because you did something wrong. Get ticketed for that. If you aren't able to walk a straight line, it doesn't matter if it's because of alcohol, pot, being overworked and exhausted, or being distracted. You shouldn't be driving under ANY of those conditions, you were impaired, and that's that.

And no smoking or vaping cannabis in public. Make it a law, and enforce it, ticket people who violate the rule and confiscate the cannabis and/or vape doohickey.

This isn't rocket science. It's just politics.

Like Prohibition, drug laws are a result of toxic femininity. Imagine trashing the Bill of Rights with an alcohol prohibition amendment...Who would do that?

We have enough dope heads in this country that have to be taken care of by the system because they have lost their motivation. There is NO positive reason for encouraging more dysfunctional, lazy, dependent, no loads in this country. We have enough burden on the system without encouraging more. There is nothing positive about the recreational use of pot. Like I said, we don't need to put more burden on the system.

Think someone had a pipe too many on tv last night.

Wokeism and Marxism are also examples of toxic femininity. Marx claimed religion was the opiate of the masses. Basically religion prohibition. Go figure.
