Due to the limits of drug detection technologies and the lack of a consensus threshold to define impairment, doing tests for drug impairment is challenging. .08 g/mL blood alcohol concentration is the threshold of impairment for drunk driving in the United States. But for driving while under the influence of drugs, there is no comparable national standard. People respond to drugs differently each time. Additionally, marijuana and other drugs can linger in the bloodstream for weeks, making them visible in roadside tests even if they no longer cause impairment.

When it comes to harvesting your cannabis plants – there’s a sense of excitement. I am currently days away from harvesting a pine-smelling cannabis plant that seems to be leaning towards the “Indica” side of the spectrum. I currently have four plants…err…three now, which are at different stages of development. The reason I went from 4 to 3 was because when I inspected the smallest one – the one that never grew beyond the scope of a “bud” [for months] because it was in a small flowering pot – when I noticed a bit of “white” in the buds.

This hemp survey is the first of its kind in the United States of America, and it is not a  random event by any means. The hemp survey tagged “Hemp Acreage and Production Survey” was set up by the Department of Agriculture after getting permission from the White House earlier in the year. The survey was conducted for 20,500 hemp farmers. After permission was granted, an announcement was made in August by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) about the finalization of the forms, which will be sent out to the hemp farmers by mail.
