docwra Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 So when can I drive if I smoked a joint? An hour, a day, a week or a month? I doutb anyone would think you would be a menace to anyone after the latter three, but I guess we arent going to find out until people start getting nicked. What the problem with a roadside sobriety test is I dont know ......... but more than that, do the government realise that by introducing limits for illegal drugs they are implying that there is a "safe" and "legal" amount you can take? Is this the beginning of legalisation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt go out and start doing mdma, trips, coke etc just because its made legal, if your going to do drugs, the illegality makes no difference, probably makes it more exciting and "cool", Tax em is what i say!!!!!

Jetpilot Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Safer too as i am sure the government arent going to cut it up with all kinds of cr*p to make it go further Even in the days of raves (still abstaining) they were fantastic, no drunk idiots wanting to fight, everyone was in love on e's Never saw one spot of trouble, shame the same cant be said for coke, no worse than alcohol though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 With the illegal drugs, I guess the simplest option is.... Just don't do them What about all these so called "legal highs" then that some seem to be into now? You know the cr*p people can buy off the Internet claiming to give effects similar to "cannabis" or "Ecstasy" etc? Are those even covered by the new laws? Guessing it should fall into the category of "driving under the influence" still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Just to add, I am massively anti drugs, had to find a new bunch of mates as my childhood friends got into drugs and just walked away from the woman of my dreams because of some of the company she kept, but I still believe they should tax it, heavily!

Yeah, strange how these "legal highs" are allowed, they are so much more dangerous than cannabis, not going to say any other drugs. But cannabis is just a plant, that actually has health benefits and has had zero deaths. Yet its illegal Seems this new law isnt very black and white. As usual.

Stutopia Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Have I read that correctly? I can take under the limit for each one of those for breakfast, then wash it down with a single Wild Turkey and still be legal to drive yeah? Just say no kids, like Zammo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_Steady Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Drugs like cannabis/marijuana can be in your system for up to a month. If you were tested after 3 days for example it wouldn't leave a big trace and probably is too little to qualify a conviction. Cocaine on the other hand leaves traces taken from hair samples after a decade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 My sons company have a compulsory drug and alcohol random testing policy.

Jetpilot Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Wasnt there a test a few years ago on 10 or 20 pound notes for traces of cocaine and the % was astronomically high, 8 out of 10 or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the Bank of England did when they destroyed old notes they put them through a cocaine sniffer (I like that..!!) I believe it was well over 50%. I'll try and find the article . Found it . UK http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1241775/Every-British-bank-note-contaminated-cocaine-weeks-entering-circulation.html America. http://edition.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/08/14/cocaine.traces.money/ Edited February 5, 2015 by WhackyWill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
