^I agree with your scenario BT, but it presupposes that people are being charged for MDMA only, which isn't supposed to happen...
Actually - another scenario suggests itself: the roadside test is positive for meth, the lab test says MDMA but not meth, the person is NOT charged, but the event is still recorded as "positive result for (illicit) drugs" in the evaluation.
The whole thing shits me to tears, to be honest. There has been no attempt to determine impairment of driving ability, or to assay the amount of drug on board at the time of testing. I was hoping against hope for some sort of "responsible smoking/speeding" guidelines as there are for alcohol - but instead the saliva testing has been used to add weight to the prohibitionist stick.
