Why does California still change clocks 4 years after voters approved daylight saving proposition?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:01:55 GMT

(KTXL) — It’s almost time to change those clocks again. Daylight saving time begins on March 12 and will end on November 5. When daylight saving begins, clocks “spring forward,” making the day 23 hours, causing the states that observe to lose an hour. Sunsets are later in the day after clocks spring forward.States that observe daylight saving time gain an hour when it ends, making that day 25 hours and causing clocks to “fall back,” triggering a season of earlier sunsets. Most of the United States observes daylight saving with the exception of Hawaii and Arizona, both of which observe permanent standard time.  When is it OK to drive after consuming marijuana? California still observes daylight saving time, despite voters passing a ballot measure granting lawmakers the ability to stop the seasonal time changes. During the 2018 General Election, California voters approved Proposition 7, which would allow the state legislature to get rid of daylight saving time wi...

When is it OK to drive after consuming marijuana?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:01:55 GMT

(KRON) -- Marijuana-impaired driving has been on the rise across the country. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the percentage of weekend nighttime drivers who tested positive for marijuana went from 8.6% in 2007 to 12.6% in 2014. However, the NHTSA study pointed out that "the presence of drugs does not necessarily imply impairment." Just how long does marijuana affect your motor skills or impair driving? Stanford University professor Dr. Keith Humphreys said the answer is a complicated one. "The challenge you have is that marijuana doesn’t mean one thing anymore," he told KRON4. "It used to be a typical joint was about a couple of hours, but I would never say that now."Humphreys explained how significantly the marijuana game has changed. Back in the 1970s for example, marijuana typically tested anywhere from 3-4% THC (the active ingredient of marijuana that has psychological effects). Now, many marijuana products test at a rate closer to 25%, he said....
