California DUI Attorney Challenges Marijuana DUI Laws

[forum_admin]

San Diego DUI lawyer Lawrence Taylor claims that California DUI laws should not be applied to marijuana usage. Unlike alcohol and many drugs, he says, marijuana probably does not impair driving.

Taylor, known nationally as "The Dean of DUI Attorneys," argues that although it has always been assumed that cannabis, like alcohol, affects the ability to safely operate a motor vehicle, the studies do not support that.

On the one hand, the California Department of Justice has found that marijuana impairs psychomotor abilities that are functionally related to driving, particularly at high-dose levels or among inexperienced users.

However, the San Diego DUI defense attorney points out, two federal studies contradict this.

Then he never tried it!!

Marijuana "probably" does not impair driving ability. I'm sure we can all feel safer on the roads because it's "probably" safe to drive on them. If one cannot ascertain for certain whether or not it is, then PROBABLY does not cut it.

Child molesters are "probably" disturbed too.
