SandBox Comments: KJCT News 8 "Sen. Steve King Pushing Marijuana DUI Bill Again"

Don Colman:

"GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. -- Years after Colorado voters approved medical marijuana, State Senator Steve King is hoping to keep the state's roads safe.


For the second time in as many years, King is pushing a marijuana DUI bill that caps how much THC someone can have in their system when behind the wheel. There would be zero tolerance for people without medical marijuana cards.


But, the jury is out on if it will pass. Last year, it drew stiff opposition on Capitol Hill as critics questioned the science of testing how high someone is.


"I hear this story about well the science isn't there," King said. "The science is there and it's written in the blood of innocent people killed by DUI-D drivers...."

"Unapologetically pursuing and tracking patterns within the news others make since 2010."
