is anyone currently, or are planning to become a part of the legal cannabis industry? the more i think about it the more i like the idea of working in a greenhouse full of goodness....
I'm up the crick without a paddle. I cannot pass the roadside test sober as a judge (diabetic neuropathy)yo,
not sure if you will really dig this gig,
seems like here in Cannabis friendly BC,
big brother wants to ensure that they know you and me,
looks like the man with the plan will want to ensure your on his list,
more fodder for databases and government bliss,
funny it seems to this old fool,
that workers in the booze industry are not treated like tools,
more control, restriction and regulation,
go ahead and high-5 one another about this farce called,
legal-LIES-ation,
oh by the way enjoy this last chew of info,
those road side stops are going to be a bitch don't ya know.
The test, according to Const. Chad Morrison, a drug recognition expert and drug evaluation and classification coordinator with Nova Scotia’s RCMP traffic services, helps detect “central nervous system depressants, inhalants, dissociative anesthetics, cannabis, central nervous system stimulants, hallucinogens and narcotic analgesics.”
At the roadside
After first using a breath test to rule out alcohol as the main cause of impairment, the officer will interview the driver and complete a pulse check. The driver will then be asked to complete three tests: an eye test, the one-leg stand, and the walk and turn.
Once the impaired driving legislation is enacted in December 2018, police officers will also be able to conduct roadside saliva tests.
At the police station
If, after the roadside tests, the officer finds probable grounds to believe the driver is impaired, they will take the driver back to the police station.
There, the driver will undergo a series of medical tests to rule out medical reasons for the suspected impairment. These include taking the driver’s blood pressure, temperature, and conducting a second pulse test. An examination of the driver’s muscle tone follows since some drugs may cause muscles to go limp or become rigid.
Next, the driver will face a series of more challenging tests, known as “divided attention tests,” which Morrison says “test your ability to divide your attention to multitask.” These tests include tilting your head back, closing your eyes, and then putting a finger to your nose. Another test involves raising a foot and looking at it while counting aloud.
The driver’s pupils will be examined again in both the light and in the dark, and the officer will search for and examine any injection sites.
If the officer still believes after the evaluation that the driver is impaired, they may ask the driver for a blood or urine sample to corroborate or dispute their findings.
The 12-step process takes 30 minutes to an hour to complete.
A report from May 2018 on cannabis and driving published by the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction and the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction noted that drug recognition evaluations are not foolproof.
“Outcomes of oral fluid screening and those from blood tests quite often do not match,” the report said.
It also added that the amount of THC—the primary psychoactive ingredient in cannabis—in blood or saliva “is not as strongly related to driver impairment as (blood alcohol content) is to alcohol-impaired driving.”

Agree! Get the legality in place and then massage the laws.*SNIP
This will take some time to sort itself out in the courts. In the political deals that had to be made to sell the jump over the Snake River to legalization, there were sacrifices that had to be made.
The misinformation is also coming from our own community. The day of yesteryear is loooong gone. That being said, our forefathers need to be recognized for all the hard work that took place.There is a tremendous amount of misinformation and Disinformation behind all of this. It's unfortunately motivated by older voters and some panicky parents who frankly, have NO IDEA that they have been sharing the roads with stoners pretty much their entire lives - all without incident. They are just scared, that's all. In fact, they are so scared that no mainstream politician sees any political benefit to try to persuade them that they should not be. This isn't the time for that argument. They are not yet persuadable.
Bold text says it all.So this is the sacrifice upon the altar of freedom that had to be made. The nature of that sacrifice will change over time. The courts will deal with this on a less hysterical -- and far more rational -- basis. That takes charges, disclosure, evidence, trials and appeals. All of that takes time. We're simply not there yet.
In the meanwhile, do your best not to be added to the sacrificial altar as this sorts itself out.

I agree that regulation is more strict right now because we are the first country doing this and there are lots of fears in regards to consequences, but to say "relax, don't worry about the laws put in place it will all work out" is wrong.
So in regards to C46, we shouldn't just accept it like sheep hoping that it will all work out just fine, because we will wake up one day as chained up slaves.
