 ++ "It's TorF Trivia (POT-per-we)" ++

        B. False.
GOVERNING Data: Medical and recreational-purpose marijuana laws by state

Oregon voters approved a similar measure allowing adults to posses up to an ounce of marijuana in public and 8 ounces in their homes, set to take effect July 1.

        A. True, or
        B. False.

Question #3Every state has laws dealing with alcohol-impaired driving and drug-impaired driving. In addition to general impairment laws, there are two basic laws that states tend to use when addressing drug-impaired driving: "zero-tolerance" and "per se DUID" -- True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False.
            Marijuana Impaired Driving
Per se DUID makes it an offense for a driver to have marijuana in their body while operating a motor vehicle.
Under the influence DUID standard requires the driver to be under the influence of or affected by marijuana.
Incapacity DUID standard requires the marijuana in a driver's system make the driver incapable of driving safely.
The prosecutor must show a connection between drug ingestion and the incapacity of the driver.

--------------
Every state has laws dealing with alcohol-impaired driving and drug-impaired driving.
But unlike the laws for alcohol-impaired driving, those that address drug-impaired driving are nuanced, difficult to enforce and prosecute and vary substantially by state.
 In addition to general impairment laws, there are two basic laws that states tend to use when addressing drug-impaired driving:
    Zero Tolerance laws make it illegal to drive with any measurable amount of specified drugs in the body.
       These laws are best suited for illegal drugs: if it is illegal to possess or use a drug, then it is reasonable to prohibit driving after the drug has been possessed and used.
           15 states have zero tolerance laws in effect for one or more drugs.
    Per Se laws make it illegal to drive with amounts of specified drugs in the body that exceed set limits.
             6 states have per se laws in effect for one or more drugs.

    ++ QUOTES OF THE DAY ++   -- from Bob Dylan's "Rainy Day Women No. 12 & 35"
"I would not feel so all alone/ Everybody must get stoned!"
Potency: Dylan was no stranger to philosophical songwriting in the mid-60s, but the opening track to "Blonde on Blonde" remains a particular triumph for marijuana enthusiasts. Backed by a brass band, the folk legend delivers a loopy anthem punctuated by the exclamation, "Everybody must get stoned!" at the end of each verse.
