That sounds bleak. If I were in your shoes I'd probably join the military. I'm thinking Air Force. They can use people with advanced technical skills. Plus, you get a bed, food, and a job. Regarding family (Spouse, Kids) there are financial benefits, cheaper housing, the ability to live and shop on base, etc. If it were me, I'd choose that over going back to to the environment you described.
I think your perspective exemplifies the moderation atmosphere on Stack Overflow. If you're not currently a moderator there, you should apply. I think you might fit the culture. Cheers.
I‘m not in any way related to Stack Overflow. I just ask questions there and sometimes write answers. And you might not like it, but my experience is that questions and answers that show some effort are always welcome on Stack Overflow.
A given level of THC affects some a lot more than others. There are people who feel extremely "high" with 20 milligrams, and others who feel nothing. I do not believe you have a solution to this problem. The only thing a police officer should be permitted to do is give a field sobriety test. These devices are going to create more problems than they solve.
Field sobriety tests are far worse than something objective like this. If a cop has it in for you, you are going to fail the sobriety test regardless of how impaired you actually are.
You can define clearly the behaviors (or lack thereof) that indicate impairment. You can make it mandatory to record these tests in case you go to court. These values spit out by the breathalyzers are arbitrary and they do not take any other and crucial factors into account.
