Cmon nihilism, really? What I am trying too do is open discussion on the subject & talking about a similar method to alcohol where & if MM (or recreational when legalised) is used, just like alcohol there is a level of tolerance such as 0.05. If you can drive under the influence of alcohol up to 0.05 shouldn't there be the same type of system for other drugs where they agree on a level of tolerance that should not affect your ability to operate a vehicle? As you may for may not be aware, you can pretty much drive on heroin, cocaine & almost every prescription drug other than the elicit methamphetamines, marijuana & MDMA & of course over 0.05! Only the individual themselves know what their limitations are which is why I say the fairest method of testing someone is not by a simple drug test or breathalyser for that matter (as we know a large person & small person will provide 2 seperate readings) but by the same method as police in the US where a sobriety test will be the best way for the officer to judge the reflexes etc. of that person. As individuals we should certainly know when we are & are not capable of driving ....otherwise ban all drink & drug driving all together.
It's already in discussion example below from 2017.... so all I am saying is based on the current issues where there are many pending cases ready to keep testing the current legislation & with the introduction of MM that these will change In the future. Until we get a foolproof measuring system then I honestly believe the sobriety system would be the fairest!
https://www.roadsafety.gov.au/nrss/files/0016-Michael_White.pdf If the purpose of the Australian RDT programs is to improve road safety, rather than only to possibly deter the use of illegal drugs, then cannabis should be removed from the RDT protocols. If that were not to happen, the current zero-tolerance approach, which is unjust, should be replaced by an approach that involves an above-zero cut-off that is indicative of very recent use. It is also recommended that theVictorian ‘cocktail penalty’should be rescinded in the case of the co-use of cannabis and alcohol.
