also, concerning DUI's, alcohol influence is easily determined through FST's and breathilizers, weed needs special training to be determined. Yes, an officer can charge with DUI for weed but, if he isn't trained properly, it is much harder to prove in court, I guess saying, "dude, bummer" a lot may not help the defendants case! Haha
You do know that for an officer to perform SFST and have it admissible requires specialized training also correct? Same with the datamaster. And for cannabis it is easily determined through urinalyses and they also have a saliva test that would be similar to the breathalizers they use on the street.
Child exposure has exploded. Hospital admissions have exploded relating to weed. The cartels are still in business. The surrounding states are seeing a ridiculous increase in tracking. Thats just the short list. I'm not opposed or for it. i simply dont care. But to claim that nothing really that bad has happened is flat out wrong. If you wanna put stuff in your body, go for it, as long as it doest affect someone else. THATS THE CATCH. Prohibition doesnt work sure, but you know what does? Serious punishment.
Any cites for the child exposure or hospital admissions? How about the trafficking? And what do they consider trafficking, the guy bringing back a pound or more or the guy with a 1/4 oz bringing it home for himself?
