Yeah, that makes total sense G. Their true personality is hidden away till they get high? I think that maybe you had better try some yourself and see...Conrad, you have no idea who I am, where I've been, what I've done or not done in life but here you are deciding what you believe would be in my best interest. Typical. If you want to smoke dope, do heroin, drink yourself in oblivion knock yourself out but your sanctimonious attitude wearing thin.
That does seem to match my observations, also.
Actually, yes. My family (both sides) has a long history with alcoholism. Which is one of many reasons I have never consumed alcohol. My mother, when she drinks, gets belligerent, rude, loud, and says whatever is on her mind (which is usually hurtful). One friend of mine is exactly like my Mom when she drinks. Another friend of mine, he actually gets giddy and quiet, and MORE agreeable. Someone else I knew got violent. Everyone seems to get stupid and uncoordinated, though (I really do not enjoy being around people drinking beyond a very small amount).
I don't have much experience being around people high on marijuana, but from what I have seen, people appear to be just slow, silly, and generally stupid, pretty equally. Never rude or belligerent.
Would this not be a personality change or maybe just exposes a person as they truly are?

Are you replying to what I wrote above or to something else?
From this? "Yeah, that makes total sense G. Their true personality is hidden away till they get high? I think that maybe you had better try some yourself and see..."
"in a temporary state in which one's physical and mental faculties are impaired by an excess of alcoholic drink"
Personally I think impairment starts with the first drink regardless of what the drinker thinks, at least with me it does.
I think drunk is in the eye of the breathalyzer.
My version of drunk is[...] the room is spinning around when I try to go to sleep.

The FAA claims that a commercial pilot is drunk also at 0.04% but adds the additional restriction that the pilot cannot have consumed ANY alcohol w/in the 8 hours before going on duty (not actually flying).
Mostly correct, except that it's any licensed pilot. Or any licensed pilot with a current medical. Or any licensed pilot with a current medical, and/or any required flight crew member. Three basic groups of pilots. Private (me), Commercial (can fly for compensation), ATP (the big iron guys and gals)

Well, my point was (is) that there are basically arbitrary rules set because we need a solid, definable, repeatable and testable line or quantity for society to function well. Or at least reasonably well.
Back to the topic: I do have a question though.... is there even a threshold for the level of cannabis consumption or it is simply any amount with an LEO claiming the driver is 'impaired'?

Tried to get some weed from my normal source, my buddy who has a medical card. He's at the medical dispensary right at this moment. Sold out of flower!
It figures. Illinois makes weed legal for recreational use and now medical patients can't get any. This is the first time in years that I wanted to get some and was unable to do so.
And no, I'm not going to drive for 45 minutes and then wait in a line for two hours at the recreational weed dispensary. Oh well.
Interesting discussion,
Ohio has finally given the green light to Medical use, which requires a doctor to apply for a card for patient use, and the clinics are open and operating here, for the last year. Problem was, the "supply" was regulated, and had to come from in state sources/growers, that were licensed... well, that created a long backlog to build a supply. A couple years back, Ohio "tried" to push thru a total decriminalization bill, so to cover both medical, and recreational use; that didn't work because the jist of the bill created an oligarchy of business people, with deep pockets, that controlled the grow houses. Again, they had to be state approved, and licensed.
