Drivers, trash the pot |
By MARC KILCHLING, SUN MEDIA
Think twice before you get behind the wheel after lighting up a marijuana joint.
A new law coming into effect Wednesday gives police the authority to demand a blood, urine or saliva sample from drivers suspected of being under the influence of drugs. Previously, people had the right to refuse to submit to the tests.
"Increasingly, the message was getting out there that you don't need to take these tests," said Justice Minister Rob Nicholson yesterday in front of the Toronto Police marine unit headquarters.
"If you refuse now, you will be charged."
