A bill that sets the legal limit to just how stoned drivers in Colorado can be passed unanimously in the House Judiciary Committee.
House Bill 1114 sets the limit for driving under the influence of marijuana at 5 nanograms of active THC per milliliter of blood.
Proponents of the bill, sponsored by House Minority Leader Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs, and state Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, say a standard is more important now because of the passage of Amendment 64, which legalizes marijuana for adults in Colorado, the Denver Post reported.
Those who oppose the bill say 5 nanograms is too low because many regular pot smokers will often have at least that amount of THC in their system.
