NOT ALL CANNABIS USERS WOULD BE IMPAIRED
Editor:
It is commendable to stop citizens from driving while honestly impaired
(Tories unveil legislation to crack down on drug-impaired drivers, Nov.
22), as long as citizens who use cannabis 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.
