In reply to the discussion: What no one is telling you about Washington's marijuana legalization [View all]Panasonic
(2,921 posts)33. You're right - it won't pass Constituitional muster.
The major problem is knowing where to put the fine line between legally stoned and extremely stoned.
Colorado attempted to put 50 ng THC as a limit - too low for a MMJ patient - average about 200-300 ng THC (from what I know).
The legislation didn't even pass - not even the special session managed to pass it. So it'll be restudied in prep for the legalization part.
I suggest they drop the idea of DUID - hell, do the cops even pull over cigarette smokers for high levels of nicotine?

Smoking "in public" is not illegal but "public places". There is a difference.

How do you spell "prohibition?" "T-a-x." Already big biz for cigarette smugglers.

Add jury nullification. As more people oppose prohibition more should simply refuse

I would hope at those prices that the state controlled product would be free of seeds

The zero tolerance and impairment limits won't pass court challenge, IMHO.
