A man undergoes a sobriety test before being detained at a LAPD police DUI checkpoint in Reseda, Los Angeles, California on April 13, 2018. Pot may be legal in eight US states and the capital, but tokers getting behind the wheel on a national weed appreciation day could be in for a downer as police forces crack down on intoxicated drivers. In places like California, where recreational marijuana has been legal since January, law enforcement officials and doctors are worried about an increase in people arrested for erratic driving and hospitalized with overdoses. The issue is particularly acute on April 20, or 4/20, a national day of celebration in cannabis culture — especially after 4:20 pm when usage surges.
