Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3218761, member: 9326"] Yep, that's what I was kinda getting at. It's far, far less accurate than something like a Urine or Blood Test. It's very hit and miss in detecting it at all and the timeframe it seems to work in can vary pretty wildly. Depending on the amount consumed, I'm probably inclined to say 15 hours is too recent to be driving and you should get busted, but I do know people who have done it in a similar timeframe and gotten away with it. I'm in favour of proper education and information about what drugs do to your ability to drive and how time can lessen that impact so that people who do choose to consume drugs can make as informed decision as possible about when they might want to drive again. Obviously people will abuse it anyway, but that already happens with alcohol and I don't see why we can't seek to educate the same way with drugs. The alternative is to do nothing except enforce the penalties when people are inevitably caught, which we already know in countless other behaviour areas does absolutely nothing to deter infringements but does significantly boost State revenue.
