I once attended a class where a medical marijuana pharmacist spoke. He worked for dispensaries and “prescribed” the medical marijuana to the people that came in. He had the doctorate degree to go with the title.

He was adamantly against a per se limit like alcohol. He agreed that it should not be zero tolerance like we currently have, but also believed that THC affected people more then the per se limits of alcohol. A daily user could have an incredibly high dosage of THC in their system and not be impaired and someone who uses THC for the first time could be very messed up off one puff.

He took the route of proving impairment which more research needs to be done on. There are officers that have some testing in drug recognition, but more scientific research could be done.

It was interesting hearing his point of view as an expert and someone who was obviously very pro medical marijuana.

It’s not legal. Technically is a first degree misdemeanor. https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/LI/consCheck.cfm?txtType=HTM&ttl=75&div=0&chpt=71&sctn=22&subsctn=0&mobile_choice=suppress

This is bad information. Medical tint is permitted with a doctors note, but it’s only colorless tint. Not the typical tint you see on most cars.

I work in law enforcement and am very familiar with DUI case law. You are correct. Refusing breath can still put you in the highest tier, but blood will not. If you refuse a search warrant for blood, then the grading does get bumped up again.

Here is a good grading chart that appears to be up to date: https://www.mcandrewslegal.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/dui-penalties-in-2022-version-2.jpeg

It’s listed in other articles.

These are not for profit prisons. They’re regular county prisons run by each individual county.

And that’s how you quickly turn retail theft into robbery

Nope. Just extensive personal experience with the criminal justice system. Out of hundreds of summary retail thefts I don’t think I’ve ever seen jail time.

No one ever gets jail time for a summary retail theft. At most it’s a fine and restitution for what they stolen.

When you ran on an agenda for being soft on crime this is what happens. Businesses have to make a profit to operate and can’t do that with blatant retail theft

Not in most counties in PA

I know Cumberland and dauphin counties just process them and release to a sober party. Booking centers would be stuffed full on Friday and Saturday nights if they didn’t release them.
