Testing for drugs are at best circumstantial,because a person could have used a drug 3 or 4 days prior
to driving,or in the case of marijuana, UA shows the drug for up too 45 days after use. The evidence of drugs in a drivers system does not show that the driver was impaired by the drug at the time of the incident.

“At the federal level, we will push for more research into technologies to accurately identify the presence of drugs in the system. Together, we can use this information to expand anti-drugged-driving laws nationwide.”

Karen Tandy,a former administrator at the DEA,now works for Motorola,where a subsidiary company has developed a recent use marijuana detection device. It is very expensive as is all new technology but it only detects marijuana use,not heroin,cocaine or any of the pharmaceutical drugs that do impair driving
which will put many dollars in Tandy’s pocket,if they can convince America of this problem that does not seem to be that much of a problem. If a driver is weaving,driving recklessly or endangering other drivers,we already have laws in place to remove the driver from the highway and don’t need to gear up and spend millions of dollars,making former DEA administrators rich.
Recent simulator testing of the effect on a drivers ability show little to no impairment caused by marijuana use. The only real difference between a “straight” driver and a driver under the influence of marijuana was that the marijuana user drove at slower speeds. How many drivers on the way home at 5 pm do you know that need to slow down?

“I have made reducing drugged driving a priority for the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) in 2010. ONDCP is working with the Department of Transportation and others on new initiatives aimed at getting drugged drivers off the road.”

He has made it a priority to spend more tax dollars chasing the dogs tail and making former DEA
people rich. His office has already spent over a trillion dollars and there are more drugs available than
ever,with more harm done to our society by the laws,than any damage done by the drugs.

It is time to end this insanity,and we should make it our priority to remove this man and his bureaucratic empire from our government. The ONDCP has a 15 billion dollar budget and over 1/2 of that budget is spent keeping marijuana prohibited and enforcing marijuana laws.. Wake up America. This man is more of a danger to us than a driver smoking a joint,swigging on a beer and texting his girlfriend at the same time.

This is about as good as I could do with it.

I’d cry and run off if she looked at me.

She’s a ravager.

“The Adam Smith Institute has advocated a more sensible policy, involving the medicalisation of addictive and damaging drugs, and the legalisation of recreational drugs.”
For the Christian Science Monitor to print this kind of statement seems revolutionary and a definite change.

Exactly! And the real odd part is, SWAT is there over what keeps you from being like Rambo. That’s the sad part. And people either don’t know or don’t care what might trigger an “episode.”

When “we” sense movement in the night, unexpectedly, mentally, we don’t take the time to figure out if they’re friendly or enemy. We simply wake up in a free fire zone.

Remember John’s statement to the Col. at the end of R1? “They made me do it!” There’s truth in that. We never go off on our own. It must be triggered by outside influences. And we are well aware of what missing our target means.
