It stays in your system for weeks. I would expect the number to be higher, that doesn’t mean that they were high when they wrecked. It just means they’ve used in the last couple weeks. Since it’s legalized of course that number goes up.

Thats one of my biggest qualms with legalizing it, its very hard to test to see if you are high, or were high last week.

If marijuana is in your bloodstream then you are still intoxicated

Still doesn't discount that drug users have proven themselves to be more of a risk to insure.

Hey stupid. Only metabolites stay in your system. Active THC, you know, the stuff that gets you high, is gone in 4-6 hours. Try to educate yourself before posting and looking like an idiot.

yep, its a false narrative and creative fake news.

regular smokers of weed will test positive for it as long as 30 days from the last time they smoked it and simply testing positive has no bearing on impairment at the time of the accident.

it makes for a great fake data talking point to lie and claim alarming rates of accidents caused by high drivers
