MAPS: marijuana and impairment.

[taopagan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (John Baltic)]

A question on marijuana impairment, mostly as it relates to driving an
automobile.  Can it be measured?  Is there a test?

With alchohol we measure the amount in the blood or breath and set a limit.
How might impairment be tested in subjects who may have smoked marijuna?

The other questions are, of course, does marijuna use cause any impairment
of functioning?   Maybe marijuna users are better drivers than nonusers,
right?  Maybe it enhances functioning, or some functioning, up to a point.
