Bill 174, aka the
Cannabis, Smoke-Free Ontario and Road Statute Law Amendment Act, contains an important amendment to Ontario’s
Highway Traffic Act.
The act states that:
“
Exceptions are made to the rules respecting driving with a drug in the body if a police officer is satisfied that the driver is legally authorized to use the drug for medical purposes.”

So it sounds to me like, if the cop gets a hit on his saliva test, but sees no obvious impairment, AND you have told him you are a medical user, and can prove it, that it is within his, or her, discretion to drop it right there and not proceed.
I would think if you ARE obviously impaired (on ANY drug/drink), they would proceed...
A good reason not to roll your window down and shout "Whaddya want pig?"
I really don't want truly impaired drivers on the road no matter what impairs them, and I know that some people, newbies included, can get really stoned, really easily... (I fondly remember those days) and then there are those of us who even with large doses, are just operating at a normal level... (I drove a 3 hour/day commute for 15 years without an accident, always smoked in the car)
Remember those cops that ate the evidence from a dispensary raid here in Toronto, found em up in a tree crying or something? Wouldn't want him driving!
