AAA: ‘No scientific basis’ for marijuana DUI tests
Currently, six states in this country employ legal tests to determine the level of a driver’s impairment following marijuana consumption. And yet, according to an AAA study -- the largest automobile club in the U.S. -- those tests have “no scientific basis.” Instead, AAA states that it’s currently not possible to set a legal blood level threshold for THC, the chemical in marijuana that makes users high.

Bernie Sanders is staying ‘until the last vote is counted’
In an interview with NPR’s ‘Morning Edition,’ Sen. Bernie Sanders stated that his campaign will continue until the D.C. primary on June 4th, even if the delegate count doesn’t add up. “Well we're going to stay in till the last vote is counted,” he told NPR’s Steve Inskeep. “We think we have a path towards victory — admittedly it is a narrow path, but when I started this campaign we were 60 points behind Secretary Clinton; yesterday here in early May we won in Indiana. I think we've got some more good victories coming — so we are in this race until the very last vote is cast.”
