One of the main arguments in favor of government interference,
oh, I meant regulationđ of #cannabis is the issue of impaired driving. It seems kind of like the âwho will build the roads?â argument always used by people in favor of taxation. It gets dragged out and marched around any time the issue of regulation comes up. Impaired driving is the go to reason many donât want legalization at all.Iâll be watching this one closely, to see if this recommendation is followed. As most of us know, just because a government body requests, appoints, and pays ( with our taxes, mind you) researchers to inform them on how to decide an issue, it doesnât mean theyâll follow those recommendations. Too often if the data doesnât fit the agenda it will be ignored.
Michiganâs six member committee,
The Impaired Driving Safety Commission, has recommended the state not set THC limits on Michigan drivers. After scientifically studying the effects of THC on driving, the report found that there is a weak correlation between THC bodily content and driving impairment, and that the no tolerance policy, which assumes impairment at the level of detection, â„1ng/ml, could falsely conclude that an individual is impaired when they are not.
I was happy to read that theyâre bringing attention to the fact that regular users of cannabis require âa much higher THC bodily content in order to achieve the desired effect.â So a state-imposed limit on âTHC may not accurately reflect the driver's level of impairment.â
