This idea would be great for a national " show-em what's what "
1: Go in with no smoke for that day..get tested...log number
2: Ask for a field sobriety test by a DRE
3: Go out puff some fatties...dabb....get tested....log number
4: Get sobriety tested again now.

Ask them why am I not impaired now then?
 
I was at my Dr yesterday for my renewal. I brought up my concerns about the new impaired driving laws. Dr goes on to say “ if you vape or smoke resting levels of thc would be below 2 ng after 4 hours. And if you eat an edible it will take 6”. Lol. I said nothing and thanked him for signing my paperwork.

Whst a fucking moron. Clearly has no fucking clue. The edibles I take dont really even kick in full untill around 4-5 hours.

Who is going to administer the sobriety test? Is it your Dr. as well? What test would they use in that case? Pretty sure if I asked my Dr. to administer a sobriety test he might use one that is used for alcohol. Which I guess is fine, I'm just curious in case I decide to get it done as well..

Field Sobriety Test and other symptoms of being drunk
To determine if you have been drinking, the police look for specific symptoms including slurred speech, red watery eyes, and the odor of alcohol on your breath and clothes. If the police detect any of these they will likely ask you to exit your vehicle and conduct a field sobriety test.

The field sobriety test is usually conducted at the scene where you were stopped by the police. The field sobriety test usually includes a series of simple physical and mental tests such as:

  • Nystagmus test, which checks the eyes for lateral or horizontal jerking when the eye gazes to the side.
  • recite the alphabet forward and backwards
  • stand feet together, arms at sides, tilt head back, close eyes, and count to 30, then open eyes and drop head back down
  • stand and listen to instructions, then walk in a straight line, turn around, and walk back towards the officer
  • stand with your feet together, tip your head back, close your eyes, and touch your nose with the tip of your index finger as directed by the officer
Remember that when taking a field sobriety test, all your actions are being recorded by the officer and possibly by a camera mounted in the police cruiser. Stay calm, polite, and respectful throughout the ordeal.

The problem with all of the field sobriety tests is that you could fail one or more of the tests as a result of some other physical or mental condition unrelated to your sobriety, or due to nerves or anxiety. Failed sobriety tests do not determine whether a person is, or is not, under the influence. If you did submit to a field sobriety test, write down all the tests you did and how you performed as soon as you can after the arrest. Here are 17 questions you should answer and provide to your DUI Lawyer.

  • recite the alphabet forward and backwards ............after you occifer!
  • lol

Due to an accident years ago, my right eye doesn't point in the same direction as my left and is perpetually bloodshot and watering. Can't do that one.

I have end stage OA in my right knee, and a deteriorating hip and left knee. Can't do any of those either.
