Doubt it. Dont drug and drive that will save u from alot of trouble. I disrespect people who drive while intoxicated by booze or drugs. Thats a different story if u have used it few days ago and comes up positive which i think is personally unfair. We should step up against that and somehow find a solution to it. Just because a drug hasa very long half life and still in ur blood stream doesnt mean ur intoxicatedor impaired.
Its about false positives and shit mate..
not drug driving.
There are already a few threads open on the front page about DUI and roadside drug tests. I'm going to merge this with one but please keep discussion away from "how to fool one"....
Absolutely, that would be something that should be brought up.
Does anyone know how long each drug takes to get out of the system, it would be great to have a list of how long each drug takes to leave the system.
good topic, i think there are so many mixed reviews on this though!!
i have heard that cannabis only last 6 hours in the saliva so you will more than likely come up positive after that period.
as for meth i have heard coppers state that meth can last up to 4 days in the saliva and still result in a positive reaction.
I'm dead against driving while intoxicated (even while stoned, which many seem to think is absolutely no problem)
It's a bit of a tricky issue with them picking up residual traces after the intoxication has worn off. They could look at the amount of drug in the bloodstream and have a certain cutoff for each drug - but variables like individual tolerance, metabolism etc. would make it really tricky if not impossible.
Some type of sobriety test would be good if you test positive but they'd probably have to be different for each drug...how do you test a meth user on their first night? They'd probably ace any standard tests.

I don't think anyone on meth (being actually affected at the time that is) would pass a standard alcohol sobriety test. Doing the alphabet backwards, walking in a straight line, holding a leg up etc. I don't think someone on stimulants may be able to pass all of those tests. *edit* Btw, I've been taking stimulants, sometimes on a daily/weekly basis and/or friends involved doing it for over 20 years. From stuff I've seen first hand, someone "high" on meth, in my opinion, would be hard pressed to pass an alcohol sobriety test 'properly'
