POT SPOT ON
It is commendable to stop citizens from driving while honestly
impaired (Ubyssey "Conservative Policy Is Smoke And Mirrors," [Nov.
14]) as long as citizens who use cannabis responsibly are not
targeted for simply having trace amounts of THC in their body.
Just as responsible alcohol consumers having alcohol in their body
may pass impairment tests, so too should cannabis consumers.
Discriminating against responsible cannabis users able to
walk-the-line is unacceptable.
This is important since various jurisdictions in North America, have
attempted to enact laws targeting citizens with any trace amount of
THC in their body as being impaired, yet is not a clear case of impairment.
