The Kentucky General Assembly is considering setting a per se limit for marijuana intoxication, much like that established for blood alcohol levels. The measure unanimously passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday. Bill Sponsor Johnnie Turner said impairment would be based on a THC level of five. The Harlan lawmaker said his county attorney had asked for this law.
“You as the officer have the right to go in to testify to all the subjective information that you saw this person stumble, fall, just like you do with alcohol. But he says the scientific basis is the only way that will help them,” said Turner.
