There’s no Breathalyzer for pot. Police in Maryland struggle with determining impairment

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:38:54 GMT

Changes to Maryland’s marijuana laws continue to raise questions — and challenges — for police trying to enforce laws against driving under the influence.During a meeting with members of the Montgomery County Council’s Public Safety Committee, Montgomery County police officer Jayme Derbyshire told council members, “as far as admissibility goes, really, what we have are validated tests for alcohol impairment, and that’s essentially” it.Derbyshire was asked about what kind of tests for impairment would stand up in court.There’s no single test for impairment from cannabis use like the Breathalyzer, which is used to determine alcohol intoxication in Maryland.Some states, such as Alabama, allow results from “oral fluid” drug tests, which use saliva samples, to be used to show impairment from cannabis. While the Montgomery County Police Department has bought some of those test kits, Derbyshire told the panel proving impairment “would s...

‘Real Women Have Curves’ musical attuned with possibilities

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:38:54 GMT

Yvette Gonzalez-Nacer’s last acting gig was as glamorous as they come — she toured the country starring as glittering cabaret queen Satine in “Moulin Rouge! The Musical.” Next up, something a bit more intimate and introspective, a role in the American Repertory Theater’s “Real Women Have Curves: The Musical.”Gonzalez-Nacer can find overlaps between the two works — “They are shows that center around the underdog and an often overlooked group of people and they are both filled with amazing songs,” she told the Herald. But she also sees something unique in “Real Women Have Curves,” Dec. 6 to Jan. 21 at the ART.The new musical has its bones in Josefina López’s 1990 play and the 2002 feature film of the same name (the film that started America Ferrera on her journey from unknown to icon). It’s the story of an 18-year-old Latina in Los Angeles in 1987 who is struggling to keep her dreams of college and a new life in New York from being crushed under the weight of familial and cultural exp...
