Several places around the country are ringing in the New Year with some new laws. Colorado is making the news with one if its most controversial new laws: the legalization of recreational marijuana. Colorado is the first state to introduce the legalization of marijuana for recreational use, possibly paving the way for other states to follow suit, depending on how things play out. States who have legalized medical marijuana especially are watching carefully as Colorado sets the stage for a new form of entertainment. One of the consequences of allowing pot to be used by everyone is the dangers of driving while under the influence.
Driving drunk is a well-publicized behavior that often makes the news, appears on TV ads, and billboards. Now that marijuana is out on the streets, it is most likely going to become more commonly used, and therefore could be found more often in drivers’ systems.
