An Invercargill woman off her head on meth caused chaos on the roads and crashed into parked cars. But here's the bit which interests me.
"The tolerance legal limit for methamphetamine while driving was 10ng/ml."
"The tolerance legal limit for cannabis is 1ng/ml."
If a person can have ten times more meth than cannabis in their system, while driving, something is badly wrong with our drug laws.
Am I reading the figures incorrectly?
