TOO HIGH TO DRIVE?

Colorado Considers Pot DUI Law

DENVER - Colorado is considering setting a blood-test standard for
what constitutes driving under the influence of marijuana.

It is already illegal in all states to drive while impaired by drugs
but only a few states have set a measurable benchmark for how much
marijuana you can have in your system to be charged with a DUI. The
bipartisan proposal from Reps. Claire Levy and Mark Waller would set
a limit of 5 nanograms of THC, the psychoactive marijuana ingredient.

The substance would have to be present within two hours or someone
being pulled over.

Colorado's 5-nanogram proposal would be one of most liberal in the
country. Nevada and Ohio have a 2-nanogram limit.

Some medical marijuana advocates fear they'll be unfairly targeted
but Levy says the bill is about public safety.
