DENVER – After years of debate, state lawmakers have voted for a limit on the amount of marijuana a person can have in their system and legally drive. The state Senate passed House Bill 1325 by a vote of 23-12. That bill says drivers with 5 nanograms or more of THC per milliliter of blood would be considered impaired to drive. THC is the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. The level of intoxication would be determined by a blood test.
