HOW MUCH WEED DO YOU HAVE TO CONSUME TO EXCEED THE LEGAL DRIVING LIMIT? – “There are two prohibited levels for THC, the primary psychoactive component of cannabis: it is a less serious offence to have between 2 nanograms (ng) and 5 ng of THC per ml of blood. It is a more serious offence to have 5 ng of THC or more per ml of blood.” Does that help? Of course not. Nobody knows how much anyone has to consume to exceed these limits. The government just picked a random number and will convict you of “serious criminality” if you exceed it. If you are not a citizen of Canada you will be ordered deported.

The fact is that posted speed limits are not calibrated to the speed of the flow of traffic and are not intended to be strictly enforced. Travelling at or below the speed limit is usually, in practical terms, dangerous. (Try it some time.) Speed camera thresholds do not accommodate reality.
