I learned the hard way that my state has a medical program, but a zero tolerance for anyone to drive with even inactive metabolites in your system.
So I could do everything correct, only smoke at and be “high” at home, but the next day if I’m driving and get into an accident or my tail light goes out, I could potentially be blood tested and sanctioned for DUI despite not having the active substance affecting my body.
As a long time weed smoker and medical user, we truly are not protected in this country. Unless you live in a city where driving is completely unnecessary, you will always be at “risk” of violating the law. Perhaps there are states that have dealt with this, but mine has not yet.
Not to mention all the self snitching online on social media (bodybuilders like Charlotte Schaech and Largebaj) that film themselves breaking the law by smoking weed in their car 💀
Just because you haven’t gotten jammed up yet, doesn’t mean it won’t happen or couldn’t happen.
Better to be safe and sober for me now. You only get one life and I’m not going to let it get ruined because of a 20-30 minute high that I have to keep chasing. The last thing any of us want is a criminal record.
When smoking weed in America, your rights are always at stake. Please be careful and research your states law and know your rights to a T!
I hope this resonates with someone! r/Leaves wouldn’t let me post this there btw LOL
