Here's one thought Finn. In states with legalized marijuana, traffic accident rates are lower then states where it's illegal. Much lower statistically, as posted in this thread earlier.
Maybe that's because when it's legal, people are staying home and using it more responsibly? Flies in the face of prohibitionists.

It was stated that traffic accidents in those states declined by 9%, and I added that over all in US traffic accidents have declined by 35%. Yes, cars are much safer than they used to be. Why have accidents dedlined so little in these marijuana States? You thought that 9% was good news, and that credit goes to marijuana. If credit goes to marijuana, then it actually proves that marijuana is the cause for the roads being more dangerous in pot States than in non-pot States. Thank you for proving my point.

Say no to drugs!!!
What a liar
It was my post you were responding to and I called you out and your still posting lies.
None of the above apply to me. Show me where traffic accidents have decreased 35% in the past year.
Show me where I said anything about ONE YEAR.
It's time for you cut back on fake anger and personal accusations. Calling other posters liars is lame.
Claiming pot makes you a better driver has been proven wrong. Period.
Cannabis is second only to alcohol for causing impaired driving and motor vehicle accidents. In 2009, 12.8% of young adults reported driving under the influence of illicit drugs and in the 2007 National Roadside Survey, more drivers tested positive for drugs than for alcohol. These cannabis smokers had a 10-fold increase in car crash injury compared with infrequent or nonusers after adjustment for blood alcohol concentration.

Exactly. You didn't even use a metric
Now where exactly did you pull that 35% from? How many years are we talking??
Your Time magazine opinon piece did not include a time line either.
