In Australia it is illegal to operate a vehicle with an illicit substance in your system. They claim the saliva fluid test strips they use can detect traces of drugs taken up to 48 hours before.
So a responsible person who abstain all week, has a quiet smoke Saturday night, can get pinged for drug driving on Monday, even though sober for nearly 2 days. Especially cruel if you have an accident- no insurance and a trip to the magistrate for loss of licence and fines (or jail if you have enough priors). Totally unfair law that takes no regard to actual sobriety or risk.
I recently read that saliva testing may not be able to detect 11-hydrogy-THC that is produced by the liver when edibles are taken, opposed to Delta-9-THC that they are testing for.
I was thinking edibles might be safe to have on weekends and not risk a Monday bust. Any have the inside scoop on that? Are there different types of tests being used around the world?
How is this being handled in legal areas? How do medical patients drive a car if continual medication is prescribed?
