Well to be accurate it’s only a judgement on your stoner acquaintances who say things that show they are stupid beyond the effect of the dope. The ones that just want to watch cartoons and eat ho-hos are still keepers.
But bin away, my opinion didn’t cost much. I can make more.

I read the whole thing, and the results are based on data collected from studies that include what I quoted. I also specifically said I was cherry picking. Perhaps you should read the whole thing.
Huh? I don’t understand what you are saying here.
How does this help to show that cannabis consumption had anything to do with the accident.
Tell that to Phelps and Rebagliati.
I should have addressed this earlier. Let me assure you that not only do I not insist on placing people’s lives on the road, I wouldn’t even - consider it…
I meant to take up this issue in my previous post but I was posting from my iPod and some dingbat was tailgating me. Good thing I’m not the road-rage type or he would have got the free airbag test.
You got a cite on that? As far as I know, THC can show up in your blood for at least a couple weeks after smoking. I’d be astounded to see any conclusive evidence to show slowed reaction times that long afterwards. Hell, I’d be impressed if you could find a cite for significantly (as in, worse than say, being a little tired) slowed reactions after even two days. I mean, your own anecdote says a couple days, not the couple weeks that a quick google brought up for me.
Here’s one cite listing various time frames on page 5.
In no way was I indicating that I thought that residue equals active effects soon after having inhaled. That’s utter bullshit.
I can take an opiate post-surgery. A week later traces are found in a blood test. Does it make me a heroin addict? Hardly.
The cites discussing vehicular homicides committed by people of all ages while under the influence of pot have nothing to do with traces left days/ weeks after exposure to pot smoke. Even I would not think that trace amounts are anything more than a scientific curiosity to be graphed and measured.
What cites?
Friend, the studies selected were ones that included a marijuana-free control group to which marijuana-positive cases were compared. That is how they determine whether cannabis consumption had anything to do with the accident.
I will if they stop by to ask, I suppose.
Do I have a cite that there is no agreement on what levels below which THC psychomotor effects become negligible? Well, I think a better question to ask might be if anyone can locate any studies purporting to ascertain such a threshold. If so, great! If not, then that is my cite.
PS. “Being a little tired” would seem to me to be some kind of effect.
