Shocker, not. Gotta find a way to keep their big business of imprisoning American people going.

@Wendy Dennie ... fortunately for the Prison Industrial Complex and Law Enforcement profiteers A64 ensured that when it declared that DUI-marijuana shall remain illegal ... without setting any objective or reasonable standards for it.

lol Stephan, did you even read the article....dumbass. Other than that, AZ is just all fucked up. I disagree

Brad Kinney

no stephen the "same" doesnt happen w alcohol compared to cannabis... And u sir need to get over it.... Facts are fatcs and the govt has no right to control the people in such a way... I think u, and the dems and reps need to get over it.. Change is here and no one is taking no for an answer 78 years worth of lying and deception is why.... Cannabis does NOT impair the ability to drive... Prove to me where it does??? U cannot... And yet i can prove to you because we have years worth of research to prove it... Alsohol and cannabis are not even close to the "same" ...And if someone is given a dui for that... That is a crime.. Its a false charge and that ... IS illegal....

No per se. Jury trial. Jury nullification.

DonkeyHotay topcommenter

@Lisa Hill ... because Juries never convict drivers of DUI, eh?

Tim Tindle

Typical fake conservative bullshit. What happened to "small government and individual freedom?"

DonkeyHotay topcommenter

@Tim Tindle ... stupid stoners voted for Big Government REGULATION with A64.

I don't agree, alcohol has a very different affect than cannabis, the "same thing" never happens. As this article states cannabis use leaves end product compounds that do not affect a person's physical state of sobriety.

The same thing happens with alcohol, get over it. There needs to be some standard.

*** Marijuana Task Force: Pot Should be in Child-Proof Packages ***

Which also means the packages would also be Stoner proof !!

http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_22667136/colorado-task-force-says-marijuana-should-be-child

Under proposals endorsed Monday by the state's Amendment 64 Implementation Task Force, marijuana products would have to be sold in child-proof packaging and not contain any logos or ingredients designed solely to appeal to children. They could not be mixed with nicotine.

Recreational pot shops could only sell marijuana and marijuana-related items, like pipes. They could not advertise anywhere kids would likely see their ads, such as television, radio, billboards or general-distribution newspapers. And recreational marijuana stores would not be able to make any health claims about their products.

Bend Over and Get REGULATED! ... suckers!

Just so the road trippers know, Utah has a zero tolerance per se drugged driving law for cannabis, cannabis metabolites, and all controlled substances. Any person who drives a motor vehicle on the roads of Utah is considered to have given his or her consent to a chemical test of their breath, blood, urine or oral fluids for the purpose of determining if they have a measurable amount of a controlled substance or metabolite in their body. Intoxication is not an element of this offense. Utah's law calls for mandatory imprisonment of 48 hours and not more than 6 months upon conviction for a first offense.

@Monkey The first thing you do is not consent. They can "assume" consent, but you don't have a contract with them if you don't have Utah DL or registration.

... as soon as you DRIVE on public roadways in Utah -- or any state -- your "contract" with them is IMPLIED ...

... hence the phrase "Implied Consent".

DonkeyHotay topcommenter

@Cognitive_Dissident ... more of your Liberkookian delusions.

There is no RIGHT to drive a motor vehicle on the Public Roadways ... especially while INTOXICATED.

Cognitive_Dissident topcommenter

@DonkeyHotay None of them tested in the Supreme Court. You have a right to travel.

DonkeyHotay topcommenter

@Cognitive_Dissident ... most states have some type of Implied Consent for their DUI laws.

Your legal delusions notwithstanding.

Cognitive_Dissident topcommenter

@DonkeyHotayBy the way: "Under the Driver License Compact, in order for a driver's state to penalize him/her for an out-of-state offense, the driver's state must have the equivalent statute. If the driver's state does not have the statute, no action can be taken."

Cognitive_Dissident topcommenter

IN THAT STATE. Period.

Obvious exceptions are when you commit a crime, which gives them PC for search.

Agreements between states are not the same as agreements between people and states. If it were, I could force the state of Kansas or Missouri (or Utah) to honor the contract I have with the state of Colorado, recognizing my medicine. In fact, the USC contract clause *may* imply that, depending on reciprocating agreements states have.

DonkeyHotay topcommenter

@Cognitive_Dissident ... you can always refuse, and you'll receive the FULL PENALTY of said refusal, which is suspension / revocation of any driving privileges in that State ... and subsequent suspension / revocation of same privileges in your HOME state if they are a member of the Interstate Driver License Compact ... 45 states are members, only 5 are not.

Cognitive_Dissident topcommenter

@DonkeyHotay @Cognitive_Dissident @Monkey Nope. Sorry. Wrong. To be specific, it constitutes a 4th amendment search, requiring a warrant from a judge. I you live in the state you're stopped in, you probably agreed to waive this on registering for a drivers' license.

Being that the Idiots who wrote, promoted and voted for the festering turd hat is A64 explicitly declared that DUI-marijuana shall remain illegal -- and forever enshrined that into the CONSTITUTION -- WITHOUT setting ANY objective standards or limits -- it will no doubt be determined that the intent of A64 was to BAN ALL driving while under ANY influence of marijuana.
