In Germany, people will soon be able to legally:
Cannabis consume.
THC is a Active ingredient im Cannabis.
Now there is a new Limit for THC in road traffic.
The limit is 3.5 nanograms per milliliter of blood.
When it comes to alcohol in traffic, there is also a limit.
The limit value is: 0.5 Blood alcohol level.
What does the limit value mean
If a person exceeds the THC limit in road traffic:
then the person must deal with a Fine calculate.
Or the person gets a Driving ban.
A expert says:
The limit value is very low.
People who are not affected by THC:
can still be punished.
How to test the THC level
A person wants to know:
how much THC he has in his blood:
then he can do a blood test
The blood test measures the value very accurately.
Soon there will also be a Saliva test for road traffic.
The saliva test only shows the THC level roughly.
When can you drive again after consuming cannabis
If a person has consumed cannabis:
then he should not drive for at least 8 hours.
If a person has consumed a lot of cannabis:
then the person should not drive a car for 12 hours or longer.
Can you test yourself: whether you still have THC in your blood
This is not yet possible.
In the future, saliva tests could:
also be available for private use.
If a person has consumed cannabis:
then he should wait longer before driving again.
This is very safe.
