No, pot smokers are lazy and worthless. Never met one that wasn't. People that smoke the pot are typically really bad people. That's why the criminality rate with pot is almost double that of alcohol.

Pot is for losers. It's no different than meth or crack IMO.

Study finds fatal crashes in Colorado have risen since legalized marijuana | Colorado Springs Gazette, News
20 more deaths where marijuana was involved. Was any other drug or alcohol involved?

With several million drivers in CO 20 more deaths is practically nothing

It's scary that so many people believe pot does not impact you. These are the people driving your kids' schoolbus and flying your planes. I aready posted the studies on how long pot stays in your system. If you're 17 and live in your mom's basement then smoking pot now and then isn't a big deal. But no professional should be doing it.

This is about regular users. If you work more than once every two months then you are working with pot in your system.

No, the question was "regular" cannabis user. If you were a regular alcohol user you'd be a drunk.

The statistics show more accidents happen in stated after pot becomes legal.

The facts don't lie.

Tell that to the people's families who died. You see thats the real problem. Your attitude about the effects and the safety. Why would any person experiment with cannabis and it's effects on them at work is beyond me entirely. It dulls the senses slows performance (hundreds of studies) and blunts both short and long term memory....

And THEN when I cite a study which showed more people were KILLED you say its "practically nothing". While the loved ones and families are DEVASTATED for decades you continue to presume that oh its ok.

Unbelievable. I'm out. Denial is the hallmark of dependence. Go ahead. Say some more to these learned people. Hopefully one of us when we detect it on you or your performance is poor we will report it and bust your silly little aSS so you can join the rest of the adult world that cares about one another.
