New legislation now allows police to test drivers for drug impairment and charge those who refuse to provide blood, saliva or urine samples.

Wow you could have at least picked a study that was on weed.
Sorry Dion but it is obvious you don't smoke weed and therefore are pulling this one out of your you-know-what. IMO opinion it is irresponsible to fake the context of that article for your own purposes. You just used the Fox News school of sourcing. You took an article about DRINKING and used a few sentences out of context to try and prove your point. You should post more of the article or not post it at all. You are going to mislead people. Is it really worth winning the argument if you've BSed your way there?
This article is more about being stoned on coke, heroin, extacy, mush, meth etc. And in context, the weed it mentions is in CONJUNCTION with booze.
Please don't anyone buy into this article just because they use the word stoned. It has almost NOTHING to do with drivers who are high.
The second article has some pretty hilarious editorializing, along with this gem of a quote that IMO is purposely taken out of context by whoever wrote the article.

If you use marijuana you are impaired for 24 hours after that.

Right. I know when I smoke a joint I get the munchies and music sounds awesome for a whole day. I guess the weed in BC is better than we get in AB.
Also FTR I'm not saying EVERYONE should be able to smoke weed and drive. Nor should anyone smoke weed while driving, or even drive right after smoking. All I'm saying is that given a person has a tolerance for weed (and like I said in my earlier post it is a TOTALLY different tolerance than for booze) it is about 1/1000th as dangerous as driving drunk.
