Montgomery County Police voice concern about lack of marijuana breathalyzer
Montgomery County police officers are sharing their challenges in testing whether someone is driving under the influence of marijuana, following Maryland legalizing recreational use of the drug this summer.
“As far as admissibility goes, really, what we have are validated tests for alcohol impairment, and that’s essentially it,” Montgomery County police officer Jayme Derbyshire told members of the Montgomery County Council’s Public Safety Committee at a meeting Monday.
Derbyshire said there is no test for marijuana comparable to a Breathalyzer, also not a standard for “how high” a driver can be, whereas the state has strict and definable blood alcohol limits. She said this makes enforcement challenging.
Maryland’s fatal car crashes rising
