In June, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled that, for registered medical marijuana patients, the presence of byproduct metabolites was not proof of intoxication at the time of citation ― although there have been cases where police have charged drivers with medical marijuana cards for the presence of marijuana metabolites other than THC in their bloodstream since then. None of them have made it to trial.newport cigarettes.
Still, how does ingesting marijuana affect driving? In the past,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there was no reason to figure out a level where legal impairment begins. Now medical marijuana patients want to know: How long do I have to wait before I can drive? There is no established level of THC at which you are legally impaired for the purpose of driving. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there are lots of opinions by experts and others involved. Attorney Matt Abel, of Cannabis Counsel TLC, says that THC, the substance in marijuana that gets you high, is out of your bloodstream in “four to six hours, although that doesn’t mean someone has to wait that amount of time before they drive.”
That seems based on the alcohol model where there is an established legal level. Paul Armentano, deputy director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws and expert witness on marijuana science issues, begs to differ. Armentano says THC intoxication for smoked marijuana has “about a two-hour window. If administered orally, we could be talking as long as four hours. This is a subject that has been studied. I’m taking calls on this subject every day now.”[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Armentano has also studied up on motor impairment caused by marijuana.
“Acute intoxication from marijuana that could adversely affect motor skills lasts about 60 minutes. A study published just this past year on psychomotor impairment said that experienced users of the drug really didn’t perform differently after they used marijuana.” Advocates attribute to strong tobacco industry lobbying the fact that Philippine taxes on cigarettes remain pegged at only 30 percent of the retail price, making the product one of the cheapest in the Asia-Pacific region. They compare this to 70 percent in Thailand, 67 percent in Bangladesh, 77 percent in Sri Lanka, 60 percent in India,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 54 percent in Malaysia, and 45 percent in Vietnam.
Even Indonesia, which is one of the only two countries that have yet to ratify the FCTC (the other being the United States),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], imposes a tax rate higher than that in the Philippines at 37 percent. China, the single biggest cigarette market in the world, taxes cigarettes at 39 percent, again higher than on those sold to Filipinos. The FCTC itself doesn’t prescribe a minimum tax rate but is mainly wary of making cigarettes “affordable to young people,” Assunta explained in an interview with the Inquirer.wholesale [link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Australia taxes cigarettes at 68 percent―and has also become a cause for celebration among anti-tobacco campaigners for setting legal precedents for other governments. Canberra announced in April that it will put cigarettes in plain packaging―devoid of all seductive colors, logos or other “cool,” youthful imagery―starting in 2012.
