Those of us with more concern for the safety of society than the ability of individuals to satisfy their wants have two questions which must be definitely answered : can the ability of those driving vehicles be impaired by the use of marijuana; if so, is there a roadside administerable test courts will accept as evidence of impairment? | ||||||
|
|||||||
|
The answer to the first question would seem to be yes in that | ||||||
|
"the federal government has submitted documents claiming that marijuana use is connected to increased likelihood of cancer, automobile accidents, psychiatric problems and drug addiction" 1 |
||||||
|
to the Supreme Court. This being so, the answer to the second must be affirmative as well if society is to be protected | ||||||
