>> Marijuana kills more people than rifles in CO This, of course, is bullshit. Don't believe everything you read. Check out the following article. What I want to know is HOW EXACTLY did this cop determine the driver was "significantly impaired?" You can't do it, and certainly not without an extensive evaluation by a professional. You can measure the levels of THC, but you cannot establish impairment without objective testing by a professional. Which is the reason the proposed law would suggest impairment at 5 nanograms but that there will be no presumption of impairment; there has to be some corroborating evidence. Some people MIGHT be impaired at 5 nanograms while others would be totally unaffected. These reports that "marijuana was involved" are designed to mislead and are cited by authorities who are trying to salvage what is left of their source of unaccountable slush funds and prison workers jobs. I'm not a supporter of impaired driving, but I do believe in truth. A tractor-trailer driver had been smoking marijuana when he crossed into oncoming lanes and caused a fiery crash with a dump truck that killed himself and the other driver earlier this year. Daniel Seilheimer, 41, of Colorado Springs was driving a bobtail tractor for England Trucking south on Quebec Street the afternoon of May 27 when he veered into the oncoming lane in the 7500 block and collided head-on with a Waste Management truck. Both trucks burst into flames, and Seilheimer and George Mendoza, 52, were killed, said Chris Dickey, spokesman for the Commerce City Police Department. A later toxicology test determined that Seilheimer was under the influence of marijuana, Dickey said. "His ability to safely operate a motor vehicle was significantly impaired," he said.
