A CLEAR CASE OF IMPAIRMENT
It is commendable to stop citizens from driving while honestly
impaired (Impaired Driving Should Include Drugs, Nov. 21, 2006), as
long as citizens who use cannabis (kaneh bosm/marijuana) responsibly
are not targeted for simply having trace amounts of THC in their body.
Just like responsible alcohol consumers having alcohol in their body
may pass impairment tests, so too should cannabis consumers.
Discriminating responsible cannabis users able to walk-the-line is
unacceptable. This is important since various jurisdictions in North
America have attempted enacting laws targeting citizens with any trace
amount of THC in their body as being impaired, yet is not a clear case
of impairment.
