1. This is a genuine problem.

While I'm in favor of legal marijuana, there are various things, including operating heavy machinery, a person shouldn't be doing while impaired. I don't know enough about the field testing of a person who is apparently under the influence to make a sensible comment here.

Alcohol is legal, but there are pretty strict laws about the amount of alcohol you may have in your bloodstream (or breath) and still be legal to drive a car. I don't know if similar standards and reliable testing for marijuana exist.

We all understand that there will be those who will drink or smoke or whatever and hope not to get caught. I just hope the testing side can catch up to the reality.
