So how long to the drugs they test for stay in your system?

And is it a case of ANY trace is deemed bad? Or like alcohol you are allowed to drive with some in your system?

24hrs for ice and pills. Smal traces of pot won't get you in trouble. So party on Strides:

How long can they be detected?

Cannabis: Random roadside drug testing can detect THC (the active ingredient in cannabis) for at least several hours after use. The exact time can vary, depending on the amount and potency of the cannabis used and the individual's metabolism. Inactive THC residue in the body of a driver from use in previous days or weeks will not be detected.

Methamphetamine ("speed", "ice") may be detected for approximately 24 hours after use by random roadside drug testing and is dependent upon the amount and potency of the drug and the individual's metabolism. Note that the withdrawal effects of methamphetamine, such as fatigue, anxiety and irritability, can also lead to unsafe driving.

MDMA (ecstasy) may be detected for approximately 24 hours after use by random roadside drug testing. The exact time will be dependent upon the size and potency of the dose, if other drugs are used at the same time and the individual's metabolism.

I call bullshit here. It is absolutely illegal to be under the influence of illegal drugs in Australia.

bag me me for siting my source (again) if you want, but this is from the Alcohol & Drug Foundation...

If you'd like, I'll also confirm it with a mate of mine who is a Federal Police Officer.

While you are at it ask him what the penalty for drug use is on its own (not possession, supply, etc)

Tell your mate that Strider drives whilst he uses.

Interestingly the roadside tests can't test for heroin. Surely shooting up heroin and driving is more dangerous than driving on ecstacy????

I'll ask him for you when I see him on Saturday. I imagine it's not too harsh, probably a fine I would guess.

Now that no conviction has been recorded Corey should be all sweet to join the boys on their end of season trip to Vegas where pills and porn stars are plentiful.
