One of law enforcement's great frustrations with legal marijuana – and anti-legalizers' perennial talking points – has been the absence of a reliable way of determining if someone has been driving while stoned. A marijuana high (and therefore impairment) usually lasts two or three hours after...

A new initiated measure looks to decriminalize cannabis across the Mount Rushmore State. South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley issued his explanation for the measure Wednesday and it has been filed with Secretary of State Shantel Krebs. The measure's sponsor says it would legalize all...

Donnie Anderson says it took weeks of driving to count the pot dispensaries in City Council District 8, which covers much of South Central Los Angeles. The team found two shops granted "limited immunity" by the city, but they were vastly outnumbered by 133 of what Anderson calls "rogue shops."...
