Victorias random drug testing .

[Joel]

People who take drugs and drive ARE a danger.

The fact that YOU have not have an accident yet, does not mean that it is not dangerous. Anyhow, I would think that they'd iron out all the details before implementing it - and it has already been trialled.

[David]

Well I'd suggest driving when your stoned would be a slightly bad idea.... but then it must be hard to start a car when you're stoned???? Considering that cannabis is illegal in the first place, then surely there would be tougher penalties then there are for drink driving you'd think.

This is bad...real bad...
The thing is with cannabis is thast it stays in your system.....so therefore u cld be sucking on big doobie on sat nite, get pulled up on wednesday n still register the effects 4 days later even though ur straight as a die...there is real grey area here as far as im concerned , one that authorities havent seemed to have considered properly...
I mean sure cannabis is illegal but surely u must be actually "stoned" at the time of testing...
It hasnt started here in Tassie yet but no doubt it will shortly...i can envision hald of tassie not being wiith licences soon

[David]

Judging by your username I can see you have a great interest in this subject...

[HAL]

I'm happy you're amused.

You point to the .05 as being the trigger point for being drunk. This is a myth, you are not drunk at .05.
What you are though it starting to lose your reflexes and ability to make correct judgments.
The same applies for all drugs.
Therefore an arbitrary point has been decided upon that indicates you may be losing your ability to be safe on the roads.

We live in a society that makes rules. I suggest that you either abide by them or stop using drugs.


Easy really.

The difference with alcohol is that after 24 hours from your last drink u will register nothing...cannabis up to 3 weeks after your last smoke u may possibly register a reading......hell of a difference if u ask me>>
As i said b4 i realise cannabis is illegal but it much more tolerated these days, i have a regular job , regular life n sure i enjoy a few cones after work which is also something i do regulary...having a smoke after work does not affectt my ability to work the next day or drive but according to these fwits i cld get pulled up a week after my last smoke n still get busted...yeh right!! its not right!!!
and yes Eunos rules r there to be abided by but lets face facts a lot of ppl smoke pot both regulary or socially, its not the big deal it was years ago, my point is it shld be judged on how effects you at the time of the reading, u shldnt get busted for something that u did a wwek ago, *£$%*&£$£ they may as well bust u for possession as the "cannabis" is still technically inside your system therefore ur possessing cannabis....

I prob havent exolained this too well but oh well im no scholar, its my point of view thats all and i really think they havent thought this one through, but they dont care bcos lets face it , its just another way for them to raise revenue!!

[CQ]

If it's still in your system a week later and you get busted it sounds a bit ridiculous I reckon. If you're not affected by it (which you wouldn't be after a week) then its not relative and you shouldn't be caught for it.

I agree with joel though, if you are affected then you are a danger. 3 demerit points is soft if you get caught driving off your rocker.

[HAL]

Just three?

A judge will tell you 'to have a drivers licence is a privilege' so therefore 'dont abuse it'!.... its simple really,when you think about it.

Hey look on the bright side if your stoned and you've got the drys they won't be able to get any saliva from you.
