Is driving under the influence of pot even illegal?

Can police even test for it like alcohol ?

I believe they're working on a test now.

I suppose folks will be growing it at home...then running to the school yard...

Still illegal to drive while intoxicated with anything, and yes they can test for marijuana in blood and urine (not sure there’s a breath test like there is for alcohol).

It’s tricky. I don’t know all the technicalities but it’s not as cut and dried like testing for alcohol.

Yes, and yes.

I saw an experimental app? website? for testing and it proposed using a series of questions that refer back to each other. Don’t know its effectiveness.

"Is driving under the influence of pot even illegal?"

"Denver Post - Aug 25, 2017: The number of drivers involved in fatal crashes in Colorado testing positive for marijuana use has risen sharply every year since 2013, more than doubling in that time, The Denver Post has found."

I can see my car insurance rates going up from my living room.

Not legal, NY claims to have a test.
