I've been almost hit 4 times by straight dick wads that were texting or talking on their cell phones
not to mention some people just cant drive period!!! my driving record is perfect not even a parking ticket..
oh and by the way tell that lame azz statement to all those straight texting cell phone drivers that endanger people lives every day!!! fact is they kill as much people on Americas highways as drunk drivers, so don't sell your lame azz crap to me it just doesn't cut it!!!
To claim that pot intoxicated drivers are safer than sober drivers is a very dangerous lie.
Unfortunately I see it repeated here over and over and over.
There's research for that...
In a recent study, 4AutoinsuranceQuote.com, a national quote provider for online car insurance quotes, cites a strong correlation between traffic-related accidents and marijuana use. The study, which looks at statistics regarding accidents, traffic violations, and insurance prices, seeks to dispel the thought that “driving while stoned” is dangerous.
In the study, 4AutoInsuranceQuote.com points out that the only significant effect that marijuana has on operating a motor vehicle is slower driving. 4AutoInsuranceQuote.com says, while referencing a study by the US National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), that driving slower “is arguably a positive thing” and that driving under the influence of marijuana “might even make you a safer driver.” A similar study by the NHTSA shows that drivers with THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) in their system have accident responsibility rates below that of drug free drivers.

prohibitionist types just cant except the good that comes from a all natural plant that has over 120 medical uses, not to mention that people that smoke weed are safer drivers.. cant wait to hear the numbers in Colorado and Washington state in a year or two..

What makes people that smoke pot safe drivers? How safe is bus loaded with children crossing a railway crossing and the driver is smoking pot? Does people that smoke pot take chances?

Pot heads are just trying to justify legalizing weed. And it appears trying now justify driving while impaired. Yes do you want your kid's bus driver blowing smoke out the window on the way home from school? I guess they do...........

I support legalization. I think you are a fool though for letting the state rob you as opposed to growing your own but when you have people arguing that driving stoned isn't dangerous its obvious we aren't speaking about the brightest bunch around.

Do you want your kids bus driver to drive drunk on alcohol? Or impaired with allergy medication? There is no difference. If you are impaired,you are impaired and it does not matter why.
