Current roadside tests for marijuana impairment lack scientific credibility and are often unreliable, says Rutgers law professor William McNichol.
In a recent paper, he argues that these tests-many modeled after alcohol detection-don't accurately reflect cannabis impairment.
McNichol criticizes tools like drug recognition experts (DREs), calling them "police science" with no true medical backing.
Studies show blood THC levels don't consistently correlate with driving performance, and chronic users may test high without being impaired. Experts call for psychomotor tests and new biochemical markers instead. Meanwhile, federal and industry policies continue relying on outdated standards, which some say worsen driver shortages. McNichol urges the scientific community-not police-to lead development of valid impairment measures, as cannabis becomes more mainstream and legal across the U.S.

>>511187553 (OP)Your whole country is made up pseudoscience
>>511187553 (OP)Just ask the stoner if they think Goofy is a dog and gauge their reaction
>>511187645What about your country, mutt?
>>511187553 (OP)I love hitting my pen in the bathroom at work, life's a bitch and then we die so fuck the world let's all get high xD
>>511187553 (OP)If you're high, I don’t want you driving. I don’t care how impaired you are. Get out of the car and call an Uber.
>>511187553 (OP)If you don't break the law, you wouldn't be getting pulled over in the first place. I've driven high for many miles all over America and never got pulled over. Rarely on busy roads, however, because I find traffic to be extra stressful when high.
Breath tests don’t work on raging alcoholics either. If you drink a case of 30 beers a day, even a BAL of .08 doesn’t show the driver is impaired. The author is an idiot who hasn’t been sober for a decade.
>>511188126The problem is they literally can not tell if they are high or not
The cops are too stupid. It's not even hard.
>100+ IQ cop: Sir, did I pull you over for flyin a plane, or are you just high?>Driver: *snickers*>Cop: Did you just snicker, or do you want a candybar?>Driver: *bursts into treats*>Cop: Cuff em.
I smoke weed every hour and I never even get high I just do it out of habit for the vibes. So if I go drive after smoking weed, it doesn't impair me at all. In fact I probably drive slower and more carefully while stoned.
>Current roadside tests for marijuana impairment lack scientific credibility and are often unreliable
They know, they just don't care.
>>511188826>probably drive slower and more carefully while stoned.That’s literally 99% of porheads. I wish more people drove stoned.
>>511187553 (OP)Why is their a device for weed, but for alcohol a humiliation ritual?
>>511187553 (OP)The alcohol ones aren't accurate either. Who can't drive after half a beer? The legal limit should be way higher
>>511190385>half a beer>.08nigga if you're hitting .08 after half a beer, you're one serious lightweight
>>511190409The greatest threat is giving political power to anyone except Chad
I've driven 80 mph on the highway on 12 grams of mushrooms and I've driven across a city after doing 7 hits of LSD at a house party. I'm literally the best driver who has ever lived. I don't crash. I drive. I drive the best. Nobody is my equal. I'm a god on 4 wheels. Fucking hell.
>>511188401if you're getting pulled over on suspicion of DUI for weed, chances are you're going to fail the basic SFST's because your driving fucking sucks enough to catch law enforcement's attention in the first place.
>>511192467Nobody should be taking SFSTs.
>>511187553 (OP)>Studies show blood THC levels don't consistently correlate with driving performance, and chronic users may test high without being impairedThis is also true for alcohol, so what? The limit for operating is the limit. Discuss adjustment, but not removal of the test. A quick roadside test was a main barrier, this fag is likely anti pot to begin with.
>>511187553 (OP)That's nice but it won't stop Australia's police from using them
Nanny state doesn't stop nannying
>>511187553 (OP)>correlate with driving performance, and chronic users may test high without being impairedthat logic goesfor alcohol too. you couldnt tells if im shitfaced
>>511193236people who are under the influence, should be.
>>511187553 (OP)half of the modern fat women can't walk the line sober
