Sorry if these are basic questions. 1. Is it against the law to be high? If you are found being high on an illegal substance, will you be charged? Or will you only be charged if you are also carrying said drugs? 2. Is there even a way for police to prove that someone has used illegal substances? I don't know if it's within their right to request a blood test on a certain individual or not. These are the only questions that I've got. Also I realize that laws may differ depending on where you are.

Not sure about 1.I'm from a different country to you so my laws would be different. As for the second one, cops should be allowed to give you a swab test (let's say if you're driving) and if you come up positive you can get charged for DUI. Again not sure about your country, but here in aus that's how it goes down.

You could get charged for public indecency the same as if you were found drunk in public, but I don't know if the charge would vary due to the substance. 2. There must be a way. People get pulled over for DUI's all the time for drug use. I'm not sure how it's done though.

You have to be carrying the substance to get in trouble.

Hurry My Curry Apr 20 2015, 05:15 PM Even though, imo, driving when high isn't dangerous and is actually pretty easy easy you reckon? yeah nah! Depends on the drug. If some knuckle head was dingin on ecstacy and tried to take me for a drive I'd be worried. Crawling all over the seats n s***, eyes rolling in the back of his head! So dangerous! I'd also say it depends on how high you are also. If you've had 1 cone (weed) and your tolerance is good then yeah you'll be fine, but if that same person punishes a bowl, high as a kite, then no. Dangerous as hell. It's common knowledge weed slows down your reaction time significantly. In an emergency situation where the driver requires quick thought I'd rather the driver not be high. And don't give me that whole "driving on weed makes you more cautious" nonsense. Being cautious is not the same as being alert. You gotta be alert on the road! Being cautious means you're expecting something to go wrong, if that's the case then there's probably a reason for that....

Firefox Favourite Manga Dragon Ball	I just assumed OP was talking about pot because it's 4/20. I would never advise driving after taking harder drugs. In my experiences, I've found that my motor functions and reaction times aren't slowed, of course I've built up a tolerance over the years. It's about moderation. You should know when to stop taking hits, smoking hits you basically immediately unlike edibles.

Years of practice or not, you're still far from 100% trying to concentrate on the road when you've been smoking yandi. There's a reason why driving high is illegal. People who have your mindset end up having a concentration slip and wind up driving up the a*** of a truck. I'm my line of work, i hear people with your mindset all the time. They sing a very different tune when reality hits and they've hurt somebody because they thought they were in control. There's plenty of research to back me up here. It's dangerous no matter who you are or how used to it you are. Then you get people who say "its not as bad as driving drunk". Such a cop out! Though I agree its not as dangerous, there's still much that could go wrong. Preventative measures save lives. If you wanna get high, be responsible and leave the car at home. It's all good till someone gets hurt.

Generally, I'm not sure what they can do I don't think they can do much if you're high and don't have drugs on you. They might detain you until they wear off I guess? They can't prove you weren't spiked if you don't have the drug on you so I doubt they can legally arrest you. That would be a pretty s***ty thing to do really since there's many ways people can get high without realizing, friend gives you a brownie you didn't know had a little extra something in it and you go to jail? I doubt that's how it works.

Agree to disagree Lucrowe, neither of us are going to change our minds.

Is there even a way for police to prove that someone has used illegal substances? I don't know if it's within their right to request a blood test on a certain individual or not. I'm not 100% but I'm fairly sure its: 1: yes it is, its illegal to use drugs in general. So as an example, if you are high, you can be tested to prove this substance is in your system, thus prove you have/had it at some point. If you have the drugs physically on you, (this will vary from country to country but in the UK), the amount on you will by law determine if this is for personal use or "With intent to supply" which will get you a heavier fine/sentence. 2: And yes, they can perform blood/urine tests with proper legal supervision.
