The Twelve Weeks of DRE-Mas: The Toxicological Examination

Happy Legalization, Canada!

It’s now been a little over 24 hours since cannabis was legalized, and near as I can tell, there has been no sudden carnage on the roads and highways caused by stoned drivers. Go figure. Which brings me to a bittersweet ending to my weekly series on the Drug Recognition Evaluation Program.
