How much marijuana is too much before getting the wheel? No one seems to know for sure despite the overwhelming support for related impaired-driving laws.
According to The Detroit Bureau, the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found 85 percent of Americans are in support of marijuana-impairment legislation, but the definition itself is up in smoke. President and CEO Peter Kissinger explained that 16 states "forbid any presence of prohibited drugs, while five others have specific limits for marijuana."
Other consistency issues go beyond just the amount in one's bloodstream, such as when one would be fine to drive, and the low concern for drug-impaired driving compared to alcohol's own effects, with only 50 percent feeling a "very serious" threat from Jeff Spicoli & Co.
Prescription drugs were found to be less a threat to other drivers than marijuana et al, where only 25 percent found usage of cold medications, certain antidepressants and medical marijuana a major threat on the highway.
