A valid test to determine if a person was actually stoned at a given time like they have for alcohol would help keep highways and workplaces safe without interferring with choices people make for recreation in the privacy of there own homes or an outing with a disignated driver. I'ld really like to know if one is under developement, can't be, or has been and hushed up. Should I repeat this Q in science and medicine?

Elway the cat- that's exactly what I mean. May be we can find out. I would think aclu would want this. To ask why they wouldn't, (if they don't as said by answer two) probably should start another Q. Thanks El, at least my Q wasn't so convoluted that no one understood me

Lord I hope so. I would ask the same question in science and medicine. It is ridiculous that a driver can be charged with being under the influence of marijuana because a test comes out positive. Marijuana stays in the system for at least a month, longer depending on the amount of fat in your body. Because someone got stoned two weeks ago doesn't mean jack when they're driving a car two weeks later. There's no way to know right now when that person smoked pot, and it's outrageous that they should be charged with driving under the influence when it can't be proved that they smoked a joint before they got in that car to drive. I'm not sure this was your point, but it's something that really rankles with me.

rather impractical since motor functions won't change in the majority of cases and there is no evidence to show pot intoxication a danger to driving while sleep deprivation is a lock
repeat your research and criteria please
peace out and enjoy your life ....

Such tests have been available for many years. The ACLU and Trail Lawyers have prevented their wide spread use.
