Marijuana legalization has brought challenges for road safety authorities. Recent studies equate marijuana-impaired driving to alcohol impairment, highlighting the dangers of both. While red eyes or the scent of marijuana can be telling signs, testing for THC levels remains complex. Saliva tests provide quick results but lack precision, necessitating confirmatory blood tests.
Marijuana contains various psychoactive compounds, making it challenging to develop a comprehensive impairment test. THC, marijuana's main intoxicant, can linger in the blood for days or even weeks. Detecting its presence only indicates past use, not current impairment, making on-the-spot checks complex for law enforcement.
The dangers of driving under marijuana's influence are evident. Crash deaths linked to cannabis have surged since 2000, especially concerning when combined with alcohol. Regional laws differ, but the message remains: driving intoxicated risks lives. Alternatives like taxis ensure safety for all.
