With Pot Legal, Police Worry About Road Safety

It's settled. Pot, at least certain amounts of it, will soon be legal under state laws in Washington and Colorado. Now, officials in both states are trying to figure out how to keep stoned drivers off the road.

Colorado's measure doesn't make any changes to the state's driving-under-the-influence laws, leaving lawmakers and police to worry about its effect on road safety.

"We're going to have more impaired drivers," warned John Jackson, police chief in the Denver suburb of Greenwood Village.

Washington's law does change DUI provisions by setting a new blood-test limit for marijuana — a limit police are training to enforce, and which some lawyers are already gearing up to challenge.

Don't see how this can work. So if they catch you driving under the speed limit they are going to draw your blood for a lab test?

DU always seems to crawl and sometimes to a halt around 3am

I was just wondering if other DUers experience the same thing.

That would be central time.

We've got a long night ahead of us.

I'm personally not in the mood for woe is me whining.

I'm pleased to see that some of these negative posts have been pulled

We are still in the fight!

BUAIDH NO BAS!


Sorry guys we got 4 more years of this dumbass. Fox is saying NH is Obama too but then took it back.



Fox News needs to fire Dick Morris immediately. He predicted PA, Michigan, and Connecticut for Romney the other day and all have lost.



As usual, PA was a teaser. Stupid Pennsylvanians! They want a marxist society.



We heard of numerous instances of GOP poll watchers being locked out, unregistered voters voting, etc.. I think if Romney supporters knew the extent of Dem voter fraud in this election there’d be a war in the streets.



I’m sick. I can’t believe how stupid the people in my state are. We had a voter ID law almost in place. There is no hope for this state.

None!




And you can add Ohio for obama, too. Never thought that would be possible, but the map shows Romney is finished here.






Would someone tell the idiots on Fox that Romney can lose OH and win CO-WI and win the election?

They all keep hyping OHIO as the only path, no it is not.




Sorry if I sound like a Debbie Downer but I think we are all going to be sorry if the early results pan out.

It’s still early and I’m praying harder and harder for the Lord to help us.



Dick Morris and his b.s. books and theories and poll readings etc...called the other night that Florida and Virginia and North Carolina and Virginia and Ohio would be a blow out.

TOTAL CREDIBILITY OUT THE WINDOW. GONE. OUT THE WINDOW.




Dick Morris has just tweeted that too early to call PA.
Dick Morris is an idiot. I can only hope after tonight Morris is finally fired from Fox News and we never have to hear from him again.

Time to switch channels.

I voted and got a job all in the same day

No shit - I went to an interview today and left with a work schedule. I am so happy and Obama winning will leave me high!
