This weekend, while most people will be starting off Easter weekend, another large group of people will be celebrating something else.
The annual stoner celebration, 420 is this Saturday. While more cities and states have developed more cannabis-friendly laws, that’s not stopping police from using this weekend as a day to round-up as many smokers as possible.
Missouri is launching their first “420 drugged-driving enforcement campaign” this weekend to crack down on people driving while under the influence of drugs such as marijuana.
The M-Dot Missouri is launching their first “420 drugged-driving enforcement campaign” this weekend to crack down on people driving while under the influence of drugs such as marijuana.
MoDOT said law enforcement will be out in full force April 19-20 to crack down on drugged driving offenders.
“Driving drug-impaired or riding with someone who is drug-impaired is not worth the risk,” Jon Nelson said, MoDOT assistant to the state highway safety and traffic engineer. “Not only do you risk killing yourself or someone else, but the trauma and financial costs of a crash or an arrest for driving while substance-impaired can be significant. The consequences are serious and real.”
