So according to the Road Traffic act, the specified drug ‘limit’ for coke is ‘Cocaine: (10) ng”.
So does that mean coke is legal, just don’t drive on it? Shouldn’t the message be “Class As are illegal, don’t use them let alone drive while on them”
Detection rather than under the influence I assume. No doubt there are more people stupidly driving under the influence but the numbers for drink driving would explode if it was measured the same way as cannabis
Not to be that person who immediately pops up to defend cannabis, but any roadside drugs test in Ireland isn’t checking to see if you’re intoxicated. It checks for the presence of cannabanoids inside your mouth, which can remain present for over a week after last consuming.
It is entirely possible to smoke a joint legally in mainland Europe on a Saturday and get yourself a drug driving charge on the Wednesday back in Ireland, despite never being a danger to anyone.
Was recently on a Gaelteacht island, someone (adult male) was snorting in the morning in the toilet in the little cafe. In very wankerly style, they left some of their paraphernalia on the toilet floor for the staff to clean up. If you are using first thing in the morning in the toilets of a small cafe on a tiny island, you have a problem.
Cannabis has no issues in Germany where taxed , I’m not in government or anything but look into it and the numbers maybe we could legalize it and tax it like progressive countries nah…
This is more because the newest detection kits can find you positive several days after taking the substance and it remaining in your system, than actually being under the influence.
A line of coke on a Friday night, and people will still test positive Monday morning.
Same for regular cannabis users who might not have smoked in several days, but there is still traces of it in their system.
I don’t smoke weed and I don’t condone driving while under the influence of it right, but the sensitivity of the cannabis test feels like a human rights violation. Your driving couldn’t be impaired days after smoking it, could it?
You’re life can be ruined by smoking it and driving a few days later, leading potential to you losing your job especially if it’s a job where you need to be Garda vetted.
I used to be a regular smoker at night time.
If anyone is under the influence, without question they should be banned. The RSA released guidance themselves when the tests were rolled out, basically saying that anything outside 6 hours and you would pass.
This advice was obviously incrediblely inaccurate. To get banned of the road is a huge penalty and certainly doesn’t fit the crime of having it in your system.
We need to grow up regarding cannabis. We should implement the Spanish model, tax it and invest the money directly into drug treatment.
I won’t take any of these articles seriously until they start testing for intoxication rather than mere presence
So, can anybody explain clearly exactly what timeframe you can go from having smoked to triggering a positive test? I’ve heard everything from days to months.
So, whats the actual amount?
Double the penalty for drug/drink intoxicated driving and remove the stupid week later detection system
OK, something I’m confused about. I was a teenager in 1980s New York. Loads of cocaine around the place. Loads of money was also around the place. Cocaine and folks with lots money kind of go together.
But at the same time I keep hearing that there’s a cost of living crisis. And I do see that amongst some folks – and I certainly see it in rent and home prices. And even to a degree with food prices. It’s not a huge deal for me – I own my own home, I don’t buy fossil fuels and I tend to cook from scratch so it’s largely just from observations.
So is cocaine just being used by folks with lots of disposable income or has cocaine gotten really cheap?
