NOW THAT ILLINOIS HAS LEGALIZED RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA…ONE QUESTION THAT REMAINS IS HOW WILL POLICE TEST PEOPLE FOR DRIVING WHILE STONED?

POLICE CAN EASILY TEST FOR ALCOHOL IMPAIRMENT WITH A BREATHALYZER OR FIELD SOBRIETY TEST…BUT THE SAME IS NOT TRUE FOR POT. THAT’S BEEN A BIG CONCERN FOR POLICE, BUT GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER SAYS THEY ARE ADDRESSING THE ISSUE.

SENATOR HEATHER STEANS (stains) OF CHICAGO SAYS THEY ARE LOOKING AT METHODS USED IN OTHER STATES.

THE NEW MARIJUANA LAW CREATES A SPECIAL TASK FORCE TO LOOK AT THE ISSUE, ENLISTING THE HELP OF POLICE TO COME UP WITH SOLID WAYS TO TEST DRIVERS.
