A Possible Bumpy Ride On The Marijuana Super ‘HIGH”-way?
I have ignored this subject for weeks. After the election I did not really know what to say about
legalized marijuana and its effect on transportation
To be honest I still did not want to touch it. So when I saw Overdrive magazine broach the issue I
figured it was time I joined the dialogue. For months I have lived behind some simple reassurances
that have shielded me from giving the issue deep thought. I am sure you have heard them as well.
Here we go:
1.
Legalized or not, drivers cannot be under the influence of alcohol or drugs...period.
2.
The DOT monitoring systems are the most meticulous and efficient they have ever been in
inspecting and tracking violators.
3.
The roads are safer than they have ever been. Did not see this one coming‫(ס‬Photo credit: Wikipedia)
4.
The quality of drivers has improved.
So why even give it a second thought? Well a few questions come to mind.
One Possible Scenario
What do you do if a driver leaves Colorado and goes to work for a company where marijuana is not
legal. The driver has never driven while under the influence but has used marijuana recreationally. He
takes the drug test for employment and has traces of marijuana in his system.
He passes right? The traces are from a marijuana legal state. Clean driving record. All is well.
What happens when a another employee at the same company with a clean driving record (who
is registered to be living in a non marijuana legal) state has trace elements of marijuana in their system.
Does he get suspended? What if he does but finds out a driver from a marijuana legal state did not
get suspended and he takes the case to court for a long drawn out court battle.
Remember ANY court battle win or lose will mean:
●
energy
●
time
●
resources
●
questionable or even bad publicity
Another Possible Scenario
A driver living in a non legal marijuana state has a clean driving record. He tests positive for marijuana

2. Carhauling,autohauling, autotransport, car hauler, auto hauler, carhauler, autohauler, coche transportista, auto transportista, and Car Carrier News
but claims he was living with someone else in a marijuana legal state. So what do you do?
In this case do you risk a court battle by suspending the driver. Now can all the drivers claim this excuse?
What if the insurance companies see that a large number of drivers have used marijuana and their
statistics show them that drivers who have used marijuana have a higher incidence of accidents than
those who do not..so your rates go up.
I could go on and on. I am just making a point that this issue is not that simple and it is going to make
some waves.
I would love to hear your thoughts
