"content": "\u003cp>A new survey commissioned by a consortium of public radio stations, including KPCC, has found Californians, like much of the nation, are divided by race when it comes to their views of police profiling and excessive use of force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about racial profiling in the U.S., 68 percent of Californians said it is a “huge” or “significant” problem in the country. Twenty-five percent of state residents polled said it was a minor problem or not one at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The survey was conducted by the Institute for Social Research at Sacramento State. It was conducted Aug. 15-24 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent. A broad sample, including 92 percent registered voters, responded to questions on issues that include police profiling and excessive use of force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ExcessivePoll]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than half of the black respondents — 58 percent — said profiling was a huge problem in the country. Just 19 percent of white respondents said the same. Among Latinos, 36 percent of those polled said it was a huge problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A significant difference in age groups also exists. Forty-three percent of people 18-25 said profiling is a huge problem, compared to 14 percent of people age 65 and older.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about excessive force by police toward people of color, 66 percent of respondents said it was a huge or significant problem in the U.S. Twenty-seven percent said it was just a minor problem or not one at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Minority and women respondents tended to see police profiling and excessive use of force as more of a problem than white men — whether they were Democrats or Republicans, said David Barker, director of the Institute for Social Research at Sacramento State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But fewer respondents think these same issues are a significant problem in California. Fifty-nine percent identified racial profiling as a huge or significant problem in the state. Fifty-two percent of respondents said excessive use of force was a huge or significant problem in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The fact that we are a rather progressive state probably leads the average person to think that, ‘Oh that’s a problem they have elsewhere,'\" Barker said. “They may think we are more respectful of diversity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Black Lives Matter leader in Los Angles Melina Abdullah said some people have an incorrect view of reality in the Golden State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"0iDI5f1ppcffKiPnH7nfnqZYsniIYGcQ\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is this facade of diversity and inclusion within California — that’s how California is painted by Hollywood,” Abdullah said. “It’s all beaches and palm trees and all kind of folks. In actuality, California is home to the most murderous police department in the country — the LAPD. People forget Rodney King and other acts of brutality, too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One retired police captain said there is less excessive force than people think.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People in minority groups tend to express more concern than others because there tends to be more negative interaction with the police in higher-crime areas,\" said retired LAPD Capt. Greg Meyer, who now testifies in use-of-force lawsuits. \"People’s opinions tend to be based on personal or second-hand experience, and tend to be very media-driven.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that the media do a \"generally poor job of interpreting police work.\" Reporters in turn have long complained that police departments fail to explain thoroughly how shootings happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People are also divided over the Black Lives Matter movement, which began advocating against profiling and excessive force by police in the wake of the 2014 police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Brown was black. The officer Darren Wilson, who was cleared of any wrongdoing, is white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About a third of respondents view the movement warmly, while another third view Black Lives Matter coldly. Twenty-four percent are uncertain or ambivalent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The police-backed \"All Lives Matter\" movement gets more support. A little over half of respondents view it favorably, compared to 25 percent who view it negatively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not unexpected,” Abdullah of Black Lives Matter said. “This is very reflective of our work and what we run into.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11080146\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Prop63-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Prop63\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Prop63.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Prop63-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The survey also examined a variety of propositions on the November ballot, including two addressing criminal justice issues. Both Proposition 63, a gun control measure, and Proposition 57, a sentencing reform proposal, are strongly supported by respondents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 63 would prohibit the possession of large-capacity ammunition magazines and would require most individuals to pass a background check and obtain authorization from the California Department of Justice to purchase ammunition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 57 would increase parole chances for felons convicted of nonviolent crimes and give them more opportunities to earn credits for good behavior.

Forty-three percent of people 18-25 said profiling is a huge problem, compared to 14 percent of people age 65 and older.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about excessive force by police toward people of color, 66 percent of respondents said it was a huge or significant problem in the U.S. Twenty-seven percent said it was just a minor problem or not one at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Minority and women respondents tended to see police profiling and excessive use of force as more of a problem than white men — whether they were Democrats or Republicans, said David Barker, director of the Institute for Social Research at Sacramento State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But fewer respondents think these same issues are a significant problem in California. Fifty-nine percent identified racial profiling as a huge or significant problem in the state. Fifty-two percent of respondents said excessive use of force was a huge or significant problem in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The fact that we are a rather progressive state probably leads the average person to think that, ‘Oh that’s a problem they have elsewhere,'\" Barker said. “They may think we are more respectful of diversity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Black Lives Matter leader in Los Angles Melina Abdullah said some people have an incorrect view of reality in the Golden State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is this facade of diversity and inclusion within California — that’s how California is painted by Hollywood,” Abdullah said. “It’s all beaches and palm trees and all kind of folks. In actuality, California is home to the most murderous police department in the country — the LAPD. People forget Rodney King and other acts of brutality, too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One retired police captain said there is less excessive force than people think.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People in minority groups tend to express more concern than others because there tends to be more negative interaction with the police in higher-crime areas,\" said retired LAPD Capt. Greg Meyer, who now testifies in use-of-force lawsuits. \"People’s opinions tend to be based on personal or second-hand experience, and tend to be very media-driven.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that the media do a \"generally poor job of interpreting police work.\" Reporters in turn have long complained that police departments fail to explain thoroughly how shootings happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People are also divided over the Black Lives Matter movement, which began advocating against profiling and excessive force by police in the wake of the 2014 police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Brown was black. The officer Darren Wilson, who was cleared of any wrongdoing, is white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About a third of respondents view the movement warmly, while another third view Black Lives Matter coldly. Twenty-four percent are uncertain or ambivalent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The police-backed \"All Lives Matter\" movement gets more support. A little over half of respondents view it favorably, compared to 25 percent who view it negatively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not unexpected,” Abdullah of Black Lives Matter said. “This is very reflective of our work and what we run into.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11080146\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Prop63-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Prop63\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Prop63.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Prop63-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The survey also examined a variety of propositions on the November ballot, including two addressing criminal justice issues.

The poll is of all voting-age Californians, not likely voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a visit last week to Los Angeles Southwest College, several registered voters who plan to vote in November told KPCC they hadn't heard of either Harris or Sanchez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's something that I haven't really heard much about,\" said Anthony Barnes, a 25-year-old theater major at the school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barnes said he plans to vote for someone in the Senate race in November, but would need to learn about the two candidates.

She highlighted her experience in Congress, particularly on national security issues, and her support for streamlining some government regulations. Both issues give her a chance to appeal to conservative voters in her search for support beyond her party's Democratic base.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also spent a few minutes telling the crowd about the challenges and the costs she's encountering as she tries to build a unit in her backyard for her aging mother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Sanchez fielded a question about recent news stories that she ducked out of a debate with Harris that was proposed for Sept. 20 in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez told the crowd she had other commitments on that day, but was willing to debate during the four other proposed times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not afraid of debating.

If they’re breaking the law, they’re going to potentially get sued.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor said the measure’s goal is to bolster worker protections and public health, and that it doesn’t matter what percentage of performers have a financial stake in the films.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Our Ruling\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents of California’s Prop. 60, which would require condom use in adult films, recently claimed it would put “workers in the adult film industry at risk for lawsuits and harassment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statement is partially accurate: Some adult film workers, and perhaps a growing share, could face lawsuits if they have a financial interest in the content they work on. But Prop. 60 does not specify what constitutes a financial interest.

Supporters of Prop. 60 say the initiative would strengthen the existing law, which they say is rarely enforced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure is sponsored by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which has long pushed for greater safety standards in adult films.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2012, voters in Los Angeles County \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Measure-B-Porn-Condoms-Los-Angeles-LA-Election-Results-Decision-2012-177573761.html\">approved a similar condom requirement\u003c/a> for adult films made in that county. It is considered a model for Prop. 60, which applies its condom mandate to scenes with anal and vaginal intercourse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 60 would also require adult film companies to obtain a health license and pay for the costs of vaccinations and health tests for sexually transmitted diseases for their performers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We asked the No on 60 campaign for evidence backing up its claim that performers would be open to lawsuits under the measure. A spokesman pointed to the initiative’s section 6720.6, on enforcement, whistleblowers and private rights of action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It allows those who witness violations of the proposed law — including performers, prosecutors or anyone who is a California resident — to file a complaint with the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health. If the agency declines to pursue the case within 21 days, the witness could then file a civil lawsuit against anyone with a financial interest in the film, which could include some performers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no mention in the No on 60 advertisement, however, that only performers with a financial interest would be liable. Nor does the ad mention the complaint process that must precede a lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>More Porn Workers With Financial Stake\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, opponents of the measure say making performers liable is significant because many have a financial stake in the content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You see, in today’s adult film industry, the majority of performers are also producers,” Eric Paul Leue, executive director of the Free Speech Coalition, wrote in an \u003ca href=\"http://www.advocate.com/commentary/2016/8/17/suing-porn-stars-will-not-lead-less-hiv\">opinion piece\u003c/a> about Prop. 60 in the Advocate, a LGBT news publication, this month. “In addition to shooting for studios, most porn stars regularly create their own content — either for their own websites, on webcams, or in partnership with studios.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 60 would apply to any commercial pornography produced in California, in traditional films and on the web.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/DrChauntelle\">Dr. Chauntelle Tibbals\u003c/a>, a sociologist who studies the adult film industry, said the percentage of workers who have a financial stake in adult content they contribute to “is certainly very high,” though she said there’s no accepted estimate. Advances in technology and distribution, she said, have allowed more workers to share in the financial success of their content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone from webcam models to agents may have a financial stake in a single piece of content,” Tibbals added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of Prop. 60, however, maintain the claim about workers being exposed to lawsuits is deceptive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The only people who can get sued (under Prop. 60) are producers,” said Rick Taylor, who manages the Yes on 60 campaign. “Some actors and actresses are producers. If they’re breaking the law, they’re going to potentially get sued.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor said the measure’s goal is to bolster worker protections and public health, and that it doesn’t matter what percentage of performers have a financial stake in the films.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Our Ruling\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents of California’s Prop. 60, which would require condom use in adult films, recently claimed it would put “workers in the adult film industry at risk for lawsuits and harassment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statement is partially accurate: Some adult film workers, and perhaps a growing share, could face lawsuits if they have a financial interest in the content they work on. But Prop. 60 does not specify what constitutes a financial interest. Ultimately, it may be up to the courts to decide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Importantly, the claim by the opponents makes no mention that only workers with a monetary stake in the films would be liable and only after a complaint process plays out.

Gov. Gavin Newsom that Republican Indiana Governor and now Vice President-Elect Mike Pence \"advocated diverting taxpayer dollars to so-called conversion therapy.\" We based that ruling on a statement Pence made in 2000 on his congressional campaign \u003ca href=\"http://web.archive.org/web/20010519165033fw_/http://cybertext.net/pence/issues.html\">website\u003c/a>, in which Pence says \"Resources should be directed toward those institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior.\" Subsequently, our readers and other fact-checking websites examined the claim and made some points that led us to reconsider the fact check. Readers pointed out that Pence never explicitly advocated for conversion therapy in his statement and that he may have been pushing for safer sex practices. Pence’s words are open to other interpretations: Gay and lesbian leaders, for example, say his statement continues to give the impression that he supported the controversial practice of conversion therapy when his words are viewed in context with his long opposition to LGBT rights. Taking all of this into account, we are changing our rating to Half True and providing this new analysis.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>PolitiFact California’s practice is to consider new evidence and perspectives related to our fact checks, and to revise our ratings when warranted.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Lt.

It’s banned in five states including \u003ca href=\"http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article90844347.html\">California, Oregon, Illinois, Vermont and New Jersey\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Our research\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about the claim in late July, Newsom’s campaign spokesman pointed to Pence’s own words. During his first successful run for Congress in 2000, Pence wrote on his \u003ca href=\"http://web.archive.org/web/20010519165033fw_/http://cybertext.net/pence/issues.html\">campaign website\u003c/a>, under a section called Strengthening the American Family:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Congress should support the reauthorization of the Ryan White Care Act only after completion of an audit to ensure that federal dollars were no longer being given to organizations that celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV virus. Resources should be directed toward those institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many, including Newsom and other LGBT advocates, have interpreted the last portion of Pence’s statement, about \"assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior,\" as evidence he supported conversion therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statement, however, does not explicitly mention conversion therapy. And Pence has said little, if anything, specific on the topic. We heard from a number of readers who said Pence’s words could be interpreted as supporting groups that aim to not necessarily change one’s sexual orientation, but instead as supporting groups that advocate for curbing sexual behaviors that lead to the spread of HIV/AIDS. Pence has, for example, advocated for abstinence as a way to prevent sexual diseases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Indeed, promoting safer sexual behaviour is a common intervention strategy in the fight against HIV/AIDS,\" reader Justin Goddard of Ontario, Canada, said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other fact-checking websites, such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.snopes.com/mike-pence-supported-gay-conversion-therapy/\">Snopes.com\u003c/a>, have examined the claim Pence supported conversion therapy and concluded it’s not a settled case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LGBT rights advocates say given Pence’s extensive record of opposing gays and lesbians, his words are indeed confirmation that he supported conversion therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That is very specific language — some might call it a dog whistle — that has been used for decades to very thinly cloak deeply homophobic beliefs,\" Rea Carey, executive director of the National L.G.B.T.Q. Task Force \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/30/us/politics/mike-pence-and-conversion-therapy-a-history.html?_r=0\">told the New York Times\u003c/a> in late November. \"Particularly the phrase ‘seeking to change their sexual behavior,’ to me, is code for conversion therapy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s the most likely reading\" of Pence’s words, Rick Zbur, executive director of Equality California, an LGBT civil rights group, told PolitiFact California. \"We view this in the context of the whole record. … You can’t think of someone who is more hostile to LGBT people and people with AIDS than Mike Pence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also on the 2000 website, Pence wrote: \"Congress should oppose any effort to put gay and lesbian relationships on an equal legal status with heterosexual marriage.\" And \"Congress should oppose any effort to recognize homosexual’s [sic] as a 'discreet [sic] and insular minority' entitled to the protection of anti-discrimination laws similar to those extended to women and ethnic minorities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Statement mischaracterized?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email exchange with PolitiFact California in late July, Pence’s spokesman Marc Lotter did not directly answer whether Pence supported conversion therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four months later, Lotter \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/30/us/politics/mike-pence-and-conversion-therapy-a-history.html?_r=0\">told the New York Times,\u003c/a> however, that it was \"patently false\" that Mr. Pence \"supported or advocated\" the practice of conversion therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lotter added that Pence had been calling for federal funds to \"be directed to groups that promoted safe sexual practices\" during his 2000 congressional campaign, and he said it was a \"mischaracterization\" to interpret the statement as a reference to conversion therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11034710\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11034710\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/Newsom-800x558.jpg\" alt=\"Lt.

Gov. Gavin Newsom that Republican Indiana Governor and now Vice President-Elect Mike Pence \"advocated diverting taxpayer dollars to so-called conversion therapy.\" We based that ruling on a statement Pence made in 2000 on his congressional campaign \u003ca href=\"http://web.archive.org/web/20010519165033fw_/http://cybertext.net/pence/issues.html\">website\u003c/a>, in which Pence says \"Resources should be directed toward those institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior.\" Subsequently, our readers and other fact-checking websites examined the claim and made some points that led us to reconsider the fact check. Readers pointed out that Pence never explicitly advocated for conversion therapy in his statement and that he may have been pushing for safer sex practices. Pence’s words are open to other interpretations: Gay and lesbian leaders, for example, say his statement continues to give the impression that he supported the controversial practice of conversion therapy when his words are viewed in context with his long opposition to LGBT rights. Taking all of this into account, we are changing our rating to Half True and providing this new analysis.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>PolitiFact California’s practice is to consider new evidence and perspectives related to our fact checks, and to revise our ratings when warranted.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Lt.

It’s banned in five states including \u003ca href=\"http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article90844347.html\">California, Oregon, Illinois, Vermont and New Jersey\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Our research\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about the claim in late July, Newsom’s campaign spokesman pointed to Pence’s own words. During his first successful run for Congress in 2000, Pence wrote on his \u003ca href=\"http://web.archive.org/web/20010519165033fw_/http://cybertext.net/pence/issues.html\">campaign website\u003c/a>, under a section called Strengthening the American Family:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Congress should support the reauthorization of the Ryan White Care Act only after completion of an audit to ensure that federal dollars were no longer being given to organizations that celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV virus. Resources should be directed toward those institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many, including Newsom and other LGBT advocates, have interpreted the last portion of Pence’s statement, about \"assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior,\" as evidence he supported conversion therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statement, however, does not explicitly mention conversion therapy. And Pence has said little, if anything, specific on the topic. We heard from a number of readers who said Pence’s words could be interpreted as supporting groups that aim to not necessarily change one’s sexual orientation, but instead as supporting groups that advocate for curbing sexual behaviors that lead to the spread of HIV/AIDS. Pence has, for example, advocated for abstinence as a way to prevent sexual diseases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Indeed, promoting safer sexual behaviour is a common intervention strategy in the fight against HIV/AIDS,\" reader Justin Goddard of Ontario, Canada, said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other fact-checking websites, such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.snopes.com/mike-pence-supported-gay-conversion-therapy/\">Snopes.com\u003c/a>, have examined the claim Pence supported conversion therapy and concluded it’s not a settled case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LGBT rights advocates say given Pence’s extensive record of opposing gays and lesbians, his words are indeed confirmation that he supported conversion therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That is very specific language — some might call it a dog whistle — that has been used for decades to very thinly cloak deeply homophobic beliefs,\" Rea Carey, executive director of the National L.G.B.T.Q.

"content": "\u003cp>In a famous scene from the Coen brothers' cult classic \"The Big Lebowski,\" Jeffrey \"The Dude\" Lebowski is cruising behind the wheel of his car, tunes blasting as he sips beer and smokes pot. In a classic stoner move, he tries to flick his lighted roach out the window -- except that it's closed. The burning roach ricochets onto his lap, causing him to wildly swerve and then crash into a garbage can.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lebowski doesn’t get hurt, but there are those, such as state Assemblyman Tom Lackey (R-Palmdale), who fear an increase in real-life risky driving if on Nov. 8 Californians pass \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Marijuana_Legalization_Initiative,_Proposition_64_%282016%29\">Prop. 64,\u003c/a> the initiative that would legalize recreational marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3FOzF9VLbQ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lackey, a retired California Highway Patrol officer, wants the state to adopt a legal limit for THC -- the mind-altering ingredient in cannabis. Without it, he says, patrol officers must rely mostly on their own subjective judgment as to whether a driver is impaired. That, he says, makes many officers uncomfortable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In my own experience I’ve seen this phenomenon,\" he says. \"I’ve seen somebody clearly impaired and I’ve seen officers still hesitant to remove [that person] from the roadway because they’re not a drug recognition expert.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lackey says drug recognition experts have advanced training in identifying impairment levels caused by marijuana and a slew of other drugs; most highway patrol officers don't. So he co-sponsored legislation -- modeled after drunken driving laws -- that would have made it easier for officers by creating a legal blood limit for THC in drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that bill failed this spring, in large part because THC levels are not good indicators of intoxication.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'You can be very, very stoned and not have a very high level of THC actually apparent in the blood.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"Unlike alcohol -- which has a generally linear relationship between the amount of alcohol you consume, your breath alcohol content and driving performance -- the THC route of metabolism is very different,\" says Tom Marcotte, co-director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cmcr.ucsd.edu/\">Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research\u003c/a> at UC San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>THC is fat soluble. Unlike alcohol, it doesn’t absorb uniformly into the body’s fluids and tissues. So that means the measure of THC in one’s breath, blood or urine doesn’t correspond to impairment in the same predictable way that alcohol does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s why it’s a bad idea to adapt drunken driving laws to driving while high, says Prof. Mark Kleiman, a drug policy expert at New York University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/273665466\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can be positive for THC a week after the last time you used cannabis,\" he says. \"Not subjectively impaired at all, not impaired at all by any objective measure, but still positive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the reverse is true as well, says Dale Gieringer, director of California NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can be very, very stoned and not have a very high level of THC actually apparent in the blood,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that poses a quandary that researchers, including Marcotte and his colleagues, are hoping to solve. The state Legislature has awarded UCSD's cannabis research center $1.8 million to study THC impairment and to develop a scientifically sound field sobriety test for marijuana intoxication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11019203\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11019203\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/BlowingBreath-800x537.jpg\" alt=\"A man blows into a breathalyzer during a field sobriety test for alcohol.

So he co-sponsored legislation -- modeled after drunken driving laws -- that would have made it easier for officers by creating a legal blood limit for THC in drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that bill failed this spring, in large part because THC levels are not good indicators of intoxication.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'You can be very, very stoned and not have a very high level of THC actually apparent in the blood.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"Unlike alcohol -- which has a generally linear relationship between the amount of alcohol you consume, your breath alcohol content and driving performance -- the THC route of metabolism is very different,\" says Tom Marcotte, co-director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cmcr.ucsd.edu/\">Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research\u003c/a> at UC San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>THC is fat soluble. Unlike alcohol, it doesn’t absorb uniformly into the body’s fluids and tissues. So that means the measure of THC in one’s breath, blood or urine doesn’t correspond to impairment in the same predictable way that alcohol does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s why it’s a bad idea to adapt drunken driving laws to driving while high, says Prof. Mark Kleiman, a drug policy expert at New York University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/273665466&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/273665466'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can be positive for THC a week after the last time you used cannabis,\" he says. \"Not subjectively impaired at all, not impaired at all by any objective measure, but still positive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the reverse is true as well, says Dale Gieringer, director of California NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can be very, very stoned and not have a very high level of THC actually apparent in the blood,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that poses a quandary that researchers, including Marcotte and his colleagues, are hoping to solve.
