(Undated) – It’s April 20th, to most it’s just Wednesday. However, to fans of cannabis, it is an unofficial holiday. Authorities across Illinois and Indiana are reminding those tempted to celebrate 4/20, that it is never ok to drive under the influence of cannabis. Indiana authorities also remind the public that it is illegal in Indiana. Police in Indiana will be using the “SoToxa Mobile Test System.” SoToxa is similar to a portable breathalyzer, but instead of testing for alcohol, it tests for the presence of six types of drugs, cocaine, methamphetamine, opiates, cannabis, amphetamine, and benzodiazepines. In Indiana, the test is voluntary, and non-evidentiary and can only be administered to people suspected of impaired driving.
