TOXICOLOGY: Driving Under the Influence

TOXICOLOGY: Driving Under the Influence of What?
SC 216

Detection and quantification of substances that impair brain function have legal definitions. When the police pull over a driver for suspected DUI, they initiate the testing process that can proceed to court. A quick test for alcohol is common but how is marijuana intoxication established? Dr. Spiehler has developed a method that has become an accepted tool. How does it work? How has it withstood court challenges? Dr. Spiehler will present actual cases in court and behind the scenes.
