From NORML:
Legislation is pending, Pennsylvania House Bill 878, to amend the state’s traffic safety laws so that they no longer discriminate against medical cannabis patients.
The state’s current zero tolerance law makes it a crime for any person to operate a motor vehicle with any detectable level of either THC or its metabolites in their blood – even absent any evidence of driver impairment.
Over 400,000 Pennsylvanians are registered to use medical cannabis products. The imposition of this zero tolerance standard places each of them at risk of arrest every time they drive a car.
Stop Discrimination Against Medical Cannabis Patient Drivers
The sole presence of THC and/or its metabolites in blood, particularly at low levels, is an inconsistent and inappropriate indicator of psychomotor impairment. It’s time to change this standard and stop discriminating against medical cannabis patients.
Please use the enclosed letter below to urge lawmakers to act on HB 878.
