                                                                                                         it’s OK to be high and drive? How will DUIs be tested?” Carol F. of
Swan Lake is more forthright in her thoughts: β€œWe don’t need high people driving around.”
According to Metzger, there’s
no breathalyzer test for cannabis consumption because there isn’t a consistent relationship between a person’s level of impairment and
their THC concentration in biological samples. On the flipside, MRTA will be directing revenue funds to support an expansion of the Drug Recognition Experts (DRE) program, where police officers complete rigorous training
on enhanced field techniques to determine if a driver is high.
So, long story short: If you’ve
been waiting for legal-sale and cultivation for what seems like ages,
sit tight. As long as there are no
more administrative delays, it'll be here before you know it, bringing advancement to our region’s farm
and tourism industries with it. In the meantime, feel free to light up as much or as little as you’d like, because adult consumption is and has been legal for about a year. 
