You shouldn’t drive drunk, high, tired, distracted or really upset. Duh. You should get pulled over for driving unsafe. HOWEVER, the police should NOT be allowed to use tests with a high false negative for impairment to send anyone to jail. This will be abused in all the ways the legal system can be.
“THC in one’s saliva doesn’t necessarily indicate someone is impaired because they could have ingested THC hours or even days prior to operating a vehicle, and it still shows up in their system despite the immediate effects of marijuana not being present in their system. “

New York City Is About to Make a Huge Mistake
Andrew Cuomo, who leads in the mayoral polls, has a Trumpian belief in his own spurious talents and triumphs. His election would likewise be a disaster for everyone subject to his rule.The New Republic

I should be more clear: “Huge mistake” means it’s an opinion piece from a person who has a clear bias, not factual journalism. And the fact that the title gives no indication of what it’s actually about means the only thing I have to go on is the author disagrees with something, but won’t say what until I pay them for an opinion I didn’t ask for.
I would personally rather be given the information and form my own opinion.
