Michelle Gray says she's afraid to get behind the wheel again after having her licence suspended for failing a cannabis saliva test in Nova Scotia, even though she passed a police administered sobriety test the same night.
The Drager DrugTest 5000 remains the only technology approved by Ottawa to test a driver's saliva for concentration of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis. Velichover said that while she appreciates the concerns that have arisen, law enforcement needs to balance cannabis users' rights with the importance of keeping roads safe.
As of Oct. 1, there were more than 13,000 law enforcement officers trained in standardized field sobriety testing and 833 officers trained as drug recognition experts across Canada, she said. Further training is underway.

Waste of time and money, never stand up in court
Take 100 people legally imapired by alcohol, .08%. Take 100 people legally impaired by Cannabis (according to the police), and take 100 senior citizens over the age of 80 who still drive, subject them all to a standard roadside test for 'impairment', and show us the results.
