NAILING RESPONSIBLE POT USERS NOT THE ANSWER

To the editor,

It is commendable to stop citizens from driving while honestly impaired
(Impaired law has to be backed with reliable testing, The News, Nov. 16),
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
against 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.
