Sometimes, even after all the hard work, the great lawyering, an understanding prosecutor, a troubled client with a learning disability on the spectrum who worked diligently, a supportive family, and a wise judge, a good result can turn into an even better result than hope would allow. Without going into details, I received an order vacating a young person's conviction today. This was an eight year plus journey that started with a single Class B felony charge, discovery showing many more uncharged Class B felonies, resolution as a single misdemeanor, and now a vacated conviction with this young person's opportunities restored. Patience and perseverence won out in the end.

Montana Considers Pot limits for Drivers
(Helena, MT – YPR) – Montana lawmakers are considering whether to join a dozen other states in setting a legal limit for the psychoactive ingredient in ma*****na in its DUI laws.
“This bill is not an anti- or pro-ma*****na bill,” says House Bill 168’s sponsor David “Doc” Moore, R-Missoula. “It’s about impaired driving.”
The bill seeks to set the legal limit at 5 ng/ml of delta-9 tetrahyrocannabinol. It’s the same limit set in Montana’s medical ma*****na laws.
He says now that Montana’s neighbors — Washington and Colorado — have legalized the recreational use of ma*****na, he’s concerned impaired drivers may be traveling through the state.
Montana Highway Patrol Sargent Curt Sager trains law enforcement officials in drug recognition. He says while DUI cases involving alcohol are on the decline in the state, ma*****na continues to escalate.
He told the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2010 that 372 of the DUI cases involved ma*****na; in 2011 that rose to 476; and last year it grew again to 486 cases.
Sager adds the numbers are growing for DUI fatalities involving ma*****na. He says they now account to ¼ of the cases.
“So obviously this is a very dangerous, deadly problem that we’re encountering on our roadways,” he says.
He says setting a legal limit for Delta-9 THC for ma*****na is based on the .08 blood alcohol content (BAC) in the DUI laws.
Retired chiropractor Pat Pardis is a member of the Montana Cannabis Information Association. He’s against the bill, saying science is inconclusive as to whether the 5 ng/ml limit is accurate to designate an impaired driver.
“We do not believe that per se laws really improve safety on the highway,” he says. “It may make it easier to put somebody in jail or into a treatment program.”
HB 168 passed through the Montana House on a 80-18 vote. The Senate Judiciary Committee did not immediately act on the bill.
