While the Internet celebrated Monday with Snoop Dogg, Cheech and Chong, the Colorado DOT did its part to ensure 420 Day revellers didn't get high and drive.
Per AutoGuide, CDOT kicked off its safe marijuana use campaign over the weekend with a number of sites offering games, activities, and assorted snacks featuring guidance on what's legal in Colorado and how much one can be fined for being caught driving while high.
According to CDOT Communication Manager Sam Cole, the agency has a responsibility "to pioneer marijuana education campaigns to keep our roadways safe" via "unique and eye-catching" methods meant to grab the attentions of cannabis consumers in the hope of reinforcing safe consumption and laws surrounding the legal use of pot in so doing.
Current legislation states a driver with 5 nanograms of THC in their blood can be arrested for DUI, as determined by a given officer's observations at the time of the stop. Critics of the legislation state that those levels will still be in the bloodstream long after the other more intoxicating effects have worn off, especially among regular chronic users.
