Devil's advocate here: The current tests for weed are flawed, they test for metabolites which are a signature that you've had it in your system, which is a retrospective affair. It's not an indicator of intoxication. As seen with Alex, you can be completely sober and safe to drive but because your body still has metabolites present you're classed as being intoxicated. I don't condone drug driving, but having been convicted days after smoking I can comfortably say that it's not as clear cut as "you have x in your system which means you're y". Cocaine users avoid detection after around 3 days but cannabis can be detected for up to 14 days in your blood, there's no way in hell that you're intoxicated or impaired after a 14 day cool off.

[@oler777]

[@bigpotato7804]

Zero shot you actually got arrested. This was entirely staged in partnership with the police department. Maybe you did get arrested for real and your lawyers and judge had you make this video. Marijuana depending on tolerance has ZERO effect on how well you can drive. I personally have driven my car over 80,000 MILES THIS YEAR ALONE. ALL WHILST BEING “HIGH” on dispensary rosin and edibles. I have a condition called hyperhydrosis. Driving is one of the only things I cherish and enjoy in my life. My hands sweat a lot, they can easily slip on the wheel if I am not actively high. I am “high” more than I am sober, almost every hour of the day. I am used to the effects of THC and my brain and body have adapted to it so I do not become impaired, but rather enhanced. I can see clearer, my hands are dry and glide on the wheel seamlessly, I feel more in-touch with my car, the limits, and I’m more calm. I’ve avoided at least 20-60 accidents in my car this year that I do not believe most people would be able to get away from sober. I am not only able to drive just as safe as 99% of people sober, I am also able to push a car to the limits HIGH ON MARIJUANA in a track setting, balancing the car PERFECTLY in oversteer/ understeer conditions.

[@bigpotato7804]

I’ve corrected more oversteer and pushed my car to the limits more than most professional race car drivers drive their cars THIS YEAR. The ONLY thing I do ALL day is drive my car while under the influence of marijuana. I do not have a job. I drive a Porsche 991.2 GT3 with a manual transmission with full titanium exhaust. Put 80,000 miles on it THIS YEAR. NO ONE CAN CONVINCE ME MARIJUANA EFFECTS HOW YOU DRIVE. I have not only driven 80,000 miles in my GT3 this year (more than 97% of these cars have total in terms of milage). I have also tracked the car every other weekend while smoking full spectrum rosin and eating rosin infused edibles being one of the fastest people at my track CONSISTENTLY.

[@LORDofDUNSFOLD]

I don't think you really covered the point that the testing is flawed. There is no connection from testing to impairment.

You can drive after taking these drugs if: you’ve been prescribed them and followed advice on how to take them by a healthcare professional. and they are not causing you to be unfit to drive even if you’re above the specified limits so those the laws what apply to me now but now driving stress free as no pot in system and wipe dose not detect what drug the doctors gave me as the test for pot and cocaine, so now on controlled drug i can drive but i must monitor myself to make sure i stay safe. whats mad is a lower class b drug high risk of a ban even if you took a good amount time with non but what classed as a class i can. at least im not stressing now when out because only drive when safe too but stick to this bit law and they are not causing you to be unfit to drive even if you’re above the specified limits so those the laws driving is more enjoyable now even tho before i had no high when driving but now i do but cannot complain

In Bulgaria, you can smoke a joint and go for a drive 2 days after, and the drug test could still pick up on it, and your life will be ruined for the next 6-12 months, because that's how long it takes for a blood sample to be processed (there is only ONE approved laboratory in the whole country, that can conduct blood tests). During that time, you will be labelled a criminal, possibly fired from your job, have your car impounded, have your license taken, have relatives and friends think badly of you, and overall, have your life ruined. There was a guy, whose senior father died of a heart attack, because he was worrying too much that his son took the wrong path in life, his son also couldn't leave the country because of this. Police officers also refuse to undergo these same swab tests, yet it's standard practice for civilians. It's truly evil. I quit weed because of this, because if they make a swab test, and it comes back as positive, and then if the blood test comes back as positive as well, your car will be taken forever into the government's possession, if it's in your name. If it's in the name of a firm or business, you will need to pay a fine, amounting that of the value of the car....P.S Not to mention that these tests can react to medicine such as Nurofen, and many others, which most adults take in their daily lives (comes up as cocaine, fentanyl, THC etc.)

Typically, THC, the psychoactive component of marijuana, is detectable for up to 90 days in hair, anywhere between 1 day to a month or longer in urine (depending on how often the individual uses it), up to 24 hours in saliva, and up to 12 hours in blood.2 How Does Your Body Process THC? THC is absorbed into various body tissues and organs (e.g., the brain, heart, and in fat) or metabolized by the liver into 11-hydroxy-THC and carboxy-THC (metabolites). About 65% of cannabis gets excreted through feces and 20% leaves the body through urine.1 The rest is stored in the body. Over time, THC that is stored in body tissues is released back into the bloodstream, where it is eventually metabolized by the liver.1 In chronic marijuana users, THC builds up in fatty tissues faster than it can be eliminated, so THC can also show up on a drug test many days or even weeks after an individual uses it.4 From: Americans addiction center.

it does change your reaction times but having said that so does old age. more importantly though not everyone can safely drive while on cannabis so even if you could that doesn't give a free pass to the idiot drivers that think they are safe but drive badly while on weed there needs to be a better way to determine fitness to drive.

[@FunLovingCriminal_JB]

@@gges1605 I 100% agree with what you've said... There should be a "reaction" time test and an "awareness" test or something similar... If your fully aware and have good reactions you should be safe behind the wheel of a car... During war, pilots are often given amphetamines to keep them alert during long hours of fighting... If you're under the influence of that stuff whilst driving then you'd loose your license... All that really matters is if someone is safe to driver or not... There are a couple of drivers where I work that have young babies at home and they look absolutely knackered when I see them... Currently there is no test for tiredness 🤷‍♂️

@@FunLovingCriminal_JB Your logic is literally no different to the speed limit argument. Why does Mr smith, who is a class 1 advanced driver, who drives at high speed regularly, still have to do 60 in a 60, as does Mrs Miggins who drives once a month, is 78 years old and doesn't have much confidence or ability? It's a blanket rule, because otherwise they'd have to test each person seperately on a whole variety of roads to determine what speed they can safely drive on each type of road, it would then be ridiculously hard to enforce any speeding no matter how extreme.

If you do so, we will get you at your place soon or later" The day after this, I took my scheduled flight to a 6 years journey around the world.

Tests should be freely available for you to independently check yourself.

[@thefiestaguy8831]

A test still doesn't mean you're safe to drive. People who get stopped with alcohol in their system, but are under the drink drive limit are still advised not to drive, because it's still a risk and as you know it's going to delay somewhat any reaction you have. Additionally if you are involved in an accident the fact you have consumed alcohol will also play a factor in any subsequent proceedings (whether over the limit or not). Also a lot of insurance policies specifically state they will NOT pay out for collisions where you are under the influence of drink or drugs, mine states this too. I had to make a claim on my policy only last week and I was asked this very question, and was also asked whether I was using my phone at the time of the collision.

[@mattfrancisofficial]

I lost my licence for 17 months after failing the roadside swab test! I hadn’t smoked for days at this point. 12 month ban for smoking and driving and another 5 months on top for having a passenger with me in the car (he was older than myself and a regular cannabis smoker himself who was aware I had smoked that week as it was with him) Due to where i lived at the time it affected my life massively leaving me with no ways of getting to work or even to get my weekly shopping. I agree with the system that smoking and driving is a serious and dangerous decision to make but as many have stated in these comments… nobody smokes and feels the effects 3 days later! Theses tests still need to be in place, however, it needs to be more accurate to when the the drug was consumed before they make convictions and essentially ruin peoples lives or massively disrupt it for a period of time. They had good intentions by creating this swab but the execution of how it works and plays part in convicting people is absolutely ridiculous.

Don't rare this, weed does not cause crashes at all. Police are a joke

[@eks_graffiti_art]

Someone (policeman) told me there are different levels of cannabis in the system which can be detected, there is an advanced test for this which is very expensive compared to the regular testing completed. This means many would, in effect, pass the test. The policeman even said it would halve the numbers of convicted drivers, which would reduce the revenue provided to the police by the government for drug driving. If this is true, it goes to show the process is commercially driven. On the other hand, it's very difficult to draw a line where the testing should and shouldn't be conducted, but it's clearly driven with a budget and return on investment in mind.

[@HarrisWinskill]

It’s just a blood test they do the limit is still rediculas lay low

[@thefiestaguy8831]

Nothing to do with revenue. I serve in the largest force in the UK. Almost no officers on team have drug wipes and ONLY traffic officers have them. We regularly stop suspected drug drivers but don't have a wipe, and traffic are rarely available to bring one down. The last time I saw one being used it was a sample taken and then placed into a large box with a small computer inside it, contained within a hard plastic case, it took several minutes and confirmed the offence. Apparently this bit of kit was very expensive but is more accurate than the small plastic wipes you see here. Oh, and money raised in fines from the police actually goes to the treasury, not the police. How the treasury then divvy it up each year is up to them. In my experience only a very small percentage of people stopped whereby they are suspected to be under the influence of drugs, actually get tested for it.

Cannabis is tolerance driven. The more often you partake the less the effects affect your abilities to drive. A once or twice a year smoker will be very affected by the weed and it will take several hours to get out of their system and probably shouldn't drive for a day or so. But by the time you are a daily smoker the tolerance level is so high that smoking an hour before driving is no more dangerous than smoking a cigarette. I am Canadian and a daily all day cannabis user and I guarantee you you would never know the difference if you met me and I am not in the least bit inebriated. Cannabis is a self policing drug for most people. You don't drive if you are too high because you realize you are too high to drive, unlike alcohol which gives people unwarranted confidence in their abilities. The worst is someone who has two or three beers and then smokes a joint too...and the effects of the alcohol get magnified by the weed. Being convicted of DWI for a joint smoked 4 days ago is ridiculous and a complete waste of court resources and shows a huge misunderstanding of cannabis and its effects imo

I find that the THC tests are not accurate in the sense that THC is stored in the fatty cells of your body . That being said you will show a positive even when you have not had it in a long while and that’s not fair to some people who use it properly ie not while driving. In like alcohol after a short while it’s metabolized and won’t show up . And if that’s the case they deem it because it’s in your system and even after time it’s not affecting you so if that’s the case you should not take tynol or anything because that alters your state according to the government.

[@thefiestaguy8831]

This HAS been the case for years, just many people are not smart enough to realise it. ANY drug, legal or not, can have consequences later down the line should you be involved in a collision, especially if it results in a serious injury or is fatal. The real deluded ones are the people who think it's acceptable to drive around dosed up on codeine or some other drug, and when they crash after falling asleep at the wheel go "It's not my fault, I'm taking medication". Of course it's your fault. You put the legal drug into your system, and you then made the decision to drive. In the same way that a drink driver makes the decision to drink and then get in their car and drive. People nowadays take no accountability for their own actions, make excuses and blame everything on everyone else.

[@thedetailingchannel2362]

Are you going to be the one stood there defending the officer at a misconduct hearing when they are about to lose their job, for NOT doing their job properly and being negligent?

So a girl who I know was not only a dealer but also a user of heroin crack cocaine and cannabis multiple times daily. She talked her poor unsuspecting mum into letting her drive her car, insured but on a provisional. Her mother obviously didn't know about the drugs but let her use her car on the condition that she has someone besides her at all times who fits the criteria for driving with a provisional. One evening she decided to take mum's car and drive somewhere alone ( telling her mum that X person is coming with her so she is legal)). Unbeknownst to mum she had been paying someone to get in with her when she picked the car up and then dropping them off at home and driving alone with no L's. She'd been doing this for a few months but as you can guess in that lifestyle, there's a lot of animosity and she was either A... Grassed up or B an informer for the police. I say this because the evening in question she apparently passed a lot of police cars on the way to dropping her friend off and literally 100 yards after she was alone and illegal they swooped on her. She has mummies car impounded but strangely the test Mark had came up negative??? ( I guess it could be a faulty test but even then that's still bad). Makes you wonder...

I'd never have one if I knew I was going out and I'd never drive after I'd have one. The next morning I'd feel fine and drive to different job addresses. I need my tools everyday and could not manage if forced onto public transport. Just because my eyes look fine and my vehicle don't stink of week don't mean that police officer won't throw a random test at you. I would lose my license for sure. I've had a pretty rough time and pulled my life together and worked my arse off to save a deposit for my house . I got there and now happy and loving my life. To lose it all for a spliff would honestly put me in a bad place and I'm not sure if I could go on,after all I'd been through. I watched this video 5 days ago now and frightened me into throwing my weed down the toilet and not smoked since. A few sweaty nights and feeling lethargic for a week is a small price to pay while I wait for the cannabis to leave my system.

So a Medical Cannabis patient is allowed to drive but another person will be arrested for driving a day or two after smoking? Not sure I understand why it would be okay in that scenario but not the other

[@FateBoost]

Not quite, you can still be arrested for driving under the influence of drugs if you drive a car despite knowing it impairs your judgment. For example it you take zopliclone and crash, you could easily be charged for drug drive.

Only if they are not feeling any negative effects that could be an issuue. But yes, they can

[@Clack-h7q]

how does this work for people with prescriptions for canabis

[@toejarmn2762]

CBD is legal to drive on.

[@AI-Records24]

@@toejarmn2762he doesn’t mean cbd.. and the prescription provides a statutory defence against prosecution therefore it’s reasonable to refuse road side test and be on your way. If they arrest you then you have a nice compensation claim.

My brother gets weed prescribed.

[@leenevin8451]

They only get banned no drugs charge

[@AI-Records24]

@@leenevin8451 they don’t get banned at all they have a statutory defence meaning as long as they haven’t shown themselves to be impaired they can continue on their way without even doing the wipe (high court ruled).

[@Lucas-wl3id]

what a great informative video, down to the point showing consequences and impact of drug driving. Please do more educational/informative videos like that

[@PhilBingham92]

This is madness... genuine madness. Guys life has been pulled apart for smoking several days ago?? Disbelief here

[@MarkMcCann64]

Hopefully knowing how long its stops in system will save a few more people from being in trouble

The law is a total arse where cannabis is concerned I was out with 2 mates me and 1 of them was having a few Bev's my other mate didn't touch a drink all night we got stopped they nicked the fella driving cause he had weed in his system and let me other mate drive the car home pissed as a fart the fella that got busted lost his licence his job and his misses left him and took his kids it's a total crock of shit the police should be ashamed of themselves they know the test is all wrong but they keep doing it to keep the number up Disgusting.

You can smoke and drive in the uk if you have a medicinal cannabis prescription.

[@BillyBobThornt0n]

That is so crazy. In America in most places, two hours after smoking , you are good. Sounds like there is zero cut off levels. Didnt think id ever say im glad i live in America, but her i am. 😊

[@MyNameIsMyName.]

I really enjoy your content Mark. In Canada weeds legal. The province I’m in you have to wait 6 hours… the UK doesn’t mess around.
