People consuming THC could be safe to drive in a matter of hours according to new research which will boost calls for reform to drug-driving laws in Australia.
An analysis of 80 scientific studies by the Lambert Initiative for Cannabinoid Therapeutics identified a ‘window of impairment’ of between three and 10 hours caused by moderate to high doses of THC.

How is that going to be policed? This is not the same as alcohol where a specific concentration is used to differentiate impaired driving from unimpaired driving. Without some discriminating criteria I can’t see the police or politicians changing the law!
Just mandate that if a person tests positive for THC, that they do various tests (walking a straight line, balance and so on). I mean really? Is it so hard to come up with a solution? This is 2021 not 1959.
