I’d say “the science” really isn’t that settled for BAC, either. In grad school, one of our pharmacokinetics professors had a great side gig. He was an “expert witness,” deservedly so. He’d testify for whoever paid him most on both sides of the issue–supporting or dismissing the relevance of BAC in DWI cases. IMO, BAC is a pharmacokinetic measure, one that cannot account for individual tolerance (pharmacodynamics). A 16 y/o girl could have her first beer and a BAC or 0.02 and be wildly out of control, while a chronic boozer might drive sober after downing a fifth of Jim Beam.
For THC, it’s laughable to think we have some accurate correlation of blood levels and “intoxication.” However, even the most data-driven minds seem to go along with what suits their preconceived notions or pocketbooks.
Oh, and fuck that cop and judge with Trump’s dick.
