Don't smoke weed and drive - it's the same as DUI of alcohol

It's not that they didn't think it through, it's just that they're through thinking because of the painful side-effects of such laborious activities.

Driving on the wrong side of the road without smoking weed appears to be more dangerous. Wake up RTP and do your job. Checkpoints do not work except for out of compliance commercial vehicles.

At 0.2% thc no chance of showing ..the danger is dropping a lit spliff or fag between your legs while driving now that's an accident for sure.

Saliva tests is what modern countries use.. Dutch do a saliva test which is positive is then followed up with blood testing. 

I have british construction workers in Holland, every couple of months one of them gets busted for DUI and has fines and Dutch driving ban. 

But TIT.

[bristolgeoff]

In many countries they have drug tests if police stop you for something,thailand is just another one to the list.But if the driving record is anything to go by,then the drug test is not a issue like drinking and driving

[D M G]

First question, how to measure?

At least he is driving forward I had one the other day that was backing up

Let’s hope this does not put the death toll on the road any higher than it already is

Problem is you could have quit smoking for weeks and it still will show up positive.

Don't eat the yellow snow either

I've been tempted to turn up at the golf club disguised in totally out-there rasta clothing complete with dred-wig with sunglasses and huge spliff between the lips n see how they receive me at the first tee ... hahahaha ????

[Tropposurfer]

Pshaa man, totally. That rad happy-smoke gets up in ya brain-pan n really gets ya trippin' on da colours ????????????

[DJ54]

They detect non stop laughing when you get stopped…. 

[RobU]

Harder to detect than DUI alcohol

[cncltd1973]

that's like saying don't drink water and drive, or don't smoke cigarettes and drive

[dinsdale]

If you lined up all these morons ear to ear and looked through one ear there is no doubt you would see straight through to the other side. Complete bunch of empty heads the lot of them. 0.2%. I wake up way more impaired (always have, takes me a while to get going) then I really couldn't guess at how many joints of non-THC joints I would have to smoke to get anywhere near it. Same as DUI for 0.2%? This would be the same impairment if you drank a bottle of water.

This seems incorrect as this weekends 'clarity' of the draft laws are the 0.2 THC restriction is for extractions only.. 

Consumption of home grown bud will be fully legal, jury still out on what laws will govern sales. 

For many years it has been legal to grow weed and opium for the hill tribe people. The police would have a policeman in plane clothes sitting with the drug dealers and when you bought you were arrested and fined or jailed. I would not trust a Thai cop as far as I could throw one.. Birding in the hills I have seen heroin , opium , weed openly being peddled. But if a foreigner in Thailand and you bought from a dealer. Which was put in your face , you would go to jail. The dealer would be rewarded and the cops would make bucks..

You guys better be careful.

How are they going to detect how much you have been smoking? Breathalyzer wont!

There are tests now for cannabis impairment. In Canada they are using them.

Stoned driving is worse than drunk driving. I can find my way home when drunk, but haven't a clue where I am when driving stoned.

I wouldn't try the 2 together. ????????

Disagree 100%! Sorry, 50% - driving while stoned is pretty safe compared to driving when drunk! The "Blue Meanies"are always in your thoughts, and you drive accordingly!

The UK has a tried and true system in place...transplant it to here...jobs done ✔ 

[bbbbooboo]

Hmmm... just what Thailand needs, more drunk and and now stoned drivers on their already lethal roads. I shudder to think of the likely outcome

Common knowledge, depending on whether you're a daily smoker. THC stays in the system (fatty tissue) for awhile. If your job drug tests you can get away with a hit or 2 on the weekends but not much more.

Slower drivers probably.
