EDITOR'S NOTE: Interested in the marijuana business industry? that there is currently no legal limit for driving under the influence of marijuana, and there is also no widely accepted roadside test to detect marijuana usage. These two factors that make detecting people driving under the influence of marijuana more difficult than with alcohol.
Several companies in the U.S. are working to develop a breathalyzer to measure marijuana, but there isn't one that's been widely adopted by law enforcement. Without a reliable test, New Jersey would have to expand its force of drug recognition experts should the state legalize weed.
Drug recognition experts are police officers specially trained to spot impaired drivers. New Jersey already has a stable of these officers, with only California having more.
But, should marijuana become legal, Christopher Didzik, president of the New Jersey Association of Drug Recognition Experts, earlier this year said the state will need more of the officers.
"Our main concern is what we're going to do to prevent impaired driving," Didzik said.
