I’d like to point out, if you are convicted of driving under influence of a controlled substance (marijuana in this case), the mandatory minimum is 12 month license suspension, 72 hours in hours in prison, and $1000 fine along with safety school classes and treatment if recommended. In the alternative if you’re offered ARD, your going to lose your license for 60 days and pay easily over $1500 in fines, court costs, etc. This is ridiculous considering the police do not use any reliable tests to determine impairment. Standardized Field Sobriety Tests were created to test for alcohol impairment and NOT marijuana impairment. The current Field sobriety tests are unreliable when it comes to an indication of marijuana impairment and people with a prescription are paying the high price of a DUI charge for seeking a non pharmaceutical alternative.

Agreed, I just didn’t want to go down the rabbit hole of how much of a garbage science the SFSTs really are.
