[QUOTE="svnmag, post: 352466, member: 330"] So I sent my post to Hotrod Impala Guy. Here is his take: "I think it should be legal. I think the regulations and technologies needed to ensure you don't have impaired people flying, operating heavy machinery, or driving are all feasible. We just haven't gotten serious about finding those solutions yet. I personally think it will come down to something like a quick reflexes or hand-eye coordination test. After all, we can usually tell when someone is impaired and shouldn't be trusted with the lives of others. Technology can be developed to observe the same things we see, especially now that AI is so common. The piss tests are stupid, IMHO. Anyone who's used any kind of chemical substances knows that over time the effects are lessened - almost to the point of going away. The chemical is still present, but the behavior evidence is not. The "functional" alcoholic comes to mind. And on that notion, I have to admit I'd rather my pilot was a functional pot smoker than a functional alcoholic." [/QUOTE]
