"People concerned about recreational marijuana are concerned about enforcement of laws like driving under the influence. We would say to this concern that people driving under the influence of marijuana are very likely to be displaying symptoms if they are so high that they can’t safely operate a vehicle. We don’t buy the reasoning that it would be hard to detect for any law enforcement officer trained in recognizing suspicious behavior."

This is such BS. The courts barely recognize Drug Recognition Enforcement Officers (DRE's) of who there are few. No average officer is trained in the observation of someone under the influence of marijuana. DRE training is extensive, time consuming, and not practical for proper enforcement. This editorial is half truth at best. I hope this wasn't you, Mr. Howell. You're above this.
