Summary

A New York bill would classify driving under the influence of drugs as a per se offense for those under 21, broaden the definition of drugs, and allow cannabis odor as evidence of impairment, and has been referred to the transportation committee. Allowing cannabis odor alone as a basis for evidence of impairment could increase legal exposure for cannabis consumers and may influence purchasing and consumption behavior relevant to retailers.
