Apparently the aroma of "maryjane" is still in the air and wafting west. The states of Colorado and Washington have legalized "recreational marijuana" (cannibis). They now have the task of determining when a driver is impaired with the drug in their system - and this is proving not quite as easy as setting an alcohol level. Wikipedia lists the urban slang phrase "toke it up" as referring to the smoking of cannibis - which provokes the question "How many tokes does it take to get pulled over?" I admit that I had not heard this phrase before and I chalk it up to leading a sheltered life with too much sub-urban replacing the urban. The NYT 6/9/13 elaborates for you curious readers.
