I don't see how people get busted for driving under the influence of cocaine. It's such a short acting drug, it wears off in about 30 mins at most. Unless you're actually snorting while driving, I don't see how you can get busted.

GOOD coke will last about an hour. The coke that most people get is cut with crap that may affect them for 3 hours or more...

What about perscription drugs like opiate derivatives (oxycodone and such) or ampethemines. They are still traceable after the effects subside. Who is to say that someone took a pain killer or smoked opium a few days ago?

Right, and BTW How the heck do you detect heroin on someones breath? Is this just for things that people smoke? There are a few carcinogens in cigarettes that are also in Marijuana. Will I get busted for smoking a cancer stick?

just curious... can you produce statistics or a study saying that marijuana improves driving ability.

No offense, but a nervous slow driver is MUCH more dangerous then a faster driver. Just look at women

Bah! Most women are driving too fast for their own good, even if they're drivning below the speed limit.

What's the difference between a drunk driver and a stoned driver?

The drunk driver runs the stop sign, the stoned driver waits for it to turn green.

I never said it improved driving ability. I was just saying that when under the influence of cannabis, you aren't a maniac. Your vision doesen't go blurry.. It isn't anything like alcohol.

I can understand that it's possible for it to effect your driving performance, but I don't think it really does in the real world. As with all things, it totally depends on the person.
