Tony Stewart and the Chamber of Secrets

If you ask notti, its just blunt

That weed must have been laced with PCP or something to make him think that was a good idea. People smarter than I, how are they able to tell he was high at the time of his death rather than sometime within the past 30 days?

I can't say for sure, but I'm guessing they did a test that had some sort of THC threshold. THC can stay in your system for a long time, but the majority of it goes away within a few hours. So the drug test you take for a job will have a pretty low threshold that might be able to pick up that joint you smoked two weeks ago, but a test meant to determine whether or not someone is high at the time of their death will have a way higher threshold.

I'm not saying that's what they did for sure here, but it seems to be the most logical way of determining whether or not he was high.

I think the biggest reason he died is because he was a hot head dumbass.

Second biggest. The biggest is still the ton of steel that slammed into his body at 40mph.

If this were true then wouldn't it be easy to hand out marijuana DUI's?

what kind of stoner wants a confrontation while they're high anyways? That is the last thing most people want after they've smoked.

I'm not an expert...but I did sit on a dui trial a few months ago. There are two things they test for as it relates to THC, in essence active THC and inactive THC. There is a THC component that is "active" when you first smoke week and tests can detect that. It then metabolizes in to inactive THC, which stays in your system longer. I don't think they've necessarily established thresholds on what is considered under the influence, at least they hadn't when I was sitting on the jury. It was a combination of test results and field test results.

There is a standard for that in Colorado.

[Hollyw00d]

one of my cousins got a marijuana DUI in riverside.  I'm pretty sure they are doing it already
