Reply to comment by vogelsyn in OK, what's the deal with weed cards. Every PA thread gives different info. by [deleted]

Have you consulted a lawyer yet? I can't imagine any logical thinking sane judge could uphold a DUI against somebody who actually is not under the influence. I'm surprised this hasn't been pushed all the way to the PA supreme Court and settled.

The law in PA is very clear. 1ng/ml of THC in your blood = DUI. Actual impairment is irrelevant to the law because of how it’s written.

An SC case wouldn’t go anywhere because that’s the lay of the law, and it’s not conflicting with anything in the state constitution. You’re basically SOL, outside of negotiating a better deal.

Some lawmakers have been trying to fix the DUI law, especially for MMJ card holders, but none of them have passed yet.

Yep. I get it. It's funny that you aren't actually under the influence per say but you have evidence that a drug was in your system. If they could figure out a way to tell that you used alcohol at some point in the last few weeks they could get people on that too. Then they can get a lot more DUI charges. Lol. Sarcasm of course.

Laws written well before mmj but no one wants to change it in the legislature. Also not great data on what level causes impairment.
