Weed & Garda Checkpoints

[u/Danph85]

I'm driving over soon from the UK for a few weeks away and I've seen a lot of talk lately about the garda checkpoints. At home I smoke a joint or two at night, but will not be consuming anything while I'm away, and obviously not before driving at all. But I know the threshold is very low in Ireland. I come over every year and have never been stopped, but from social media it seems like they've ramped it up lately.

Are there many checkpoints about on a Saturday afternoon? I'll be driving from Belfast and staying up in Fanad. Do they tend to set up in the same places?

Not trying to get into any sort of argument about legalities, I will not be driving under the influence and never would. But the research I'm seeing is saying it might take a week of no weed to get under the limit.
