Cannabis is the driving problem

Unlike your correspondent Don Barnard, I have no trouble accepting strict
enforcement
of the laws against drug driving

It scares me to think of the number of people driving while doped up on drugs
- medical as well as illegal.

I would have no objection to these people being taken of the road.

The only problem is-as always its seems- cannabis.

Cannabis user will test positive weeks after a smoke, so roadside chemical
test are of no use for spotting stoned drivers and would really be no more
than an enforcement tool for it' continued prohibitions. I do feel it's
important that any road safety programme of drug driving enforcement should
be just that, and not a way of propping up the 1971 Misuse of Drugs Act.
