“Just look to Washington State, where within the first 6 months of pot being legalized, 745 drivers stopped by the police tested positive for marijuana’s psychoactive ingredient THC and over half of those tested were over the state’s legal limit of 5 nanograms.”

How many tested positive in the 6 months prior to legelization?

According to one article I just found, in each of the two years prior to pot being legalized, about 1,000 people who were pulled over for suspicion of driving under the influence tested over the THC limit. In the same article, the police are quoted as saying they have not upped their “pull-over” rates.

The first marijuana stores in WA aren't even expected to start opening until at least May of 2014.

I live in Seattle, yankee.

As far as I know marijuana became legal on January 1st, not six months ago.

That THC test sounds bogus, too.

5 nanograms are a unit of weight, 5 billionths of one gram.

Trying to locate 5 nanograms of THC in a blood drop would be a good trick, and trying to weigh it would be an even better trick.
