(WA) WSP stepping up patrols for drivers high on pot

6. Better off before?

I grew up in Seattle and Tacoma. Now living in Oregon, when the law passed I thought things were better there. Very shortly after the law passed I spoke to my best friend back in T-Town and he told me about the new, stricter DUID enforcement. Just speaking from my own experience, I have never heard of anyone I know being in an accident caused by cannabis. And I already know that with my dreads and Misfits hoodie I would be the first to be tested out of a random roadside stop/check. Also, while the law does allow for personal use, it does not allow for the manufacture or sales of "legal" cannabis. I have never had to worry about being tested for pot on a traffic stop, but if I return to my home state I just may. And considering that "legal" users still have to purchase their cannabis from "illegal, street dealers" at the same prohibition era prices, I do not see the benefit of this new freedom. SHIT! It was already decriminalized in the years when I was growing up. And I never was charged with any cannabis related crime. We were better off before, methinks.
