Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolfe intends to sign into law a
Medical Marijuana bill to give relief to persons suffering from certain medical
conditions. Sure to accompany this intended benefit is an unintended
consequence: a rise in arrests for Driving Under the Influence of Controlled Substances or Drugs. Other states such as Colorado which have passed
similar legislation have witnessed a rise in these types of arrests, and
Pennsylvania will certainly follow this unfortunate trend.
Marijuana does not dissipate from the human body in a matter of
hours as alcohol does. Marijuana will be detected in the system for days
and even weeks, and those DUI suspects who are directed by police to submit to a blood test will have a problem on their hands. Stay tuned, for the
future in this area of the law should be interesting.
