Thanks for being accessible. Can you ask your colleague Cory Gardner to do the same?

I support your "Regulate Marijuana like Alcohol Act!" How can we solve the concern of driving under the influence of marijuana? Alcohol intoxication can be determined by BAC. Current law tests of the presence of marijuana in the system using tests that only confirm the presence of marijuana in the bloodstream. Science says that it may be detected in your blood up to 30 days after consuming marijuana. It is unlikely that anyone is under the influence 30 days after the fact. What science can be used to determine intoxication? Follow up: How can we get more research going in Colorado on how to better determine marijuana intoxication?

As I understand current CO law, there is a 5 nanogram limit on the amount of THC in a persons blood after which they are considered violating the law. I believe in science. Legislators literally pulled this 5 nanogram limit out of the air.

I am not aware of any scale of inebriation for marijuana that is similar to alcohol. Where 3 drinks in a hour may cause a woman to blow over .08, there is no equivalent linear measure for marijuana. Taking 3 hits off a joint may affect one woman different than another. And one or both may or may not be unsafe to drive.

Current legislation seems to be operating by legislators personal beliefs as opposed to actual scientific evaluation. How do we make sure that science has a larger role going forward in determining marijuana intoxication? Especially in light of the current President's ignorance of facts and trust in science.
