German Discussions Over THC Levels For Weed Legalization?

 Well....the German federal-level Attorney General has come out and said they are working on some medical science being applied, and levels of THC to be similar to drinking/driving levels.

What this means?  As legalization occurs....most people expect cannabis use to progress upward.  

The general problem in Cannabis use.....if you used what was normal THC (1970s) and new 'normal' THC of today......it's possible you might smoke some weed three to four times the 'power' of old weed.  So the cops want a test that would identify things.

Opening the door for more folks to lose their license?  Yeah, I would go that route and suggest this problem will be openly discussed by summer of 2024.

One thing they really should be testing for is fatigue. Major understated killer on the roads.

German autobahns are 'demanding'. I'll drive from Wiesbaden to K-town about every six months, and it's a simple 70-minute drive...where I might get up to 160 kph if there limited traffic. But it'll drain me and I need 30 min to pause at the conclusion. I feel the same way if driving to Hamburg, with all your concentration on trucks, Dutch-drivers, and constant renovation-zones to contend with.
