That goes for any other hard drugs out there, legal or illegal. However; in the case of marijuana, there is no solid proof that marijuana is addictive, nor is there any risk of overdose or death from consuming too much marijuana at one time. Name any drug legal or illegal that doesn't have the potential kill you if you consume too much at one time.
You can take Aderol and Ritalin and still legally drive. Glad you have no use for cocaine. I have no use for that, marijuana and any of that other junk.

You can't.
That's not the point.

You're delusional. Anybody who wants to smoke and drive is doing it already. The legal status has nothing to do with it.

If pot were made legal tomorrow would you smoke it?

Get a clue! Nobody who advocates legalization is also advocating DUI.

Then why aren't traffic deaths sky rocketing in states where medical marijuana is legal? Instead, they have been DROPPING.

Some people will believe anything they hear about the subject at hand because they have no knowledge or experience with it. So they are completely against it.

Ron Paul 2012. Lets get rid of the over paid DEA and other useless federal agencies and use the money toward something useful.

ummm no. it is still smoking and harmful to ones health. It is not good to burn any plant matter and inhale it. I would just assume it be legalized, but mainly as a means to stop the insane war on drugs, which is nothing more than a waste of money.

Now, I don't advocate driving extremely stoned, because it would he like driving when you are extremely tired, but if just buzzed a bit then its alright. It makes me more patient with the idiots on the road, I drive slower, and it makes driving a fun experience honestly. Unless youre in bumper to bumper traffic. Completely kills it. Give me the high driver paying attention and listening to music over the lady disciplining her kids, or the dude talking on the phone, old people, left lane hoggers, etc.

No, they are not. You cannot make a blanket statement like that and be correct. Searches, like the TSA crap are becoming easier in many areas of our sick nation.
Therefore, there exist plenty of folks that will relax and not fear being arrested, smoke pot, carry it around with them AND drive under the influence.
Now, do again but with yourself in mind.

I smoked it a thousand times, back in the seventies and refused to drive for a couple of hours after doing so, or...it meant I had some really weak stuff.

Friends? well, we got some great stuff and one friend ended up driving the wrong way in downtown, San Antonio on the way to a concert, but I forget which one, LOL. That was nuts, but we didn't hurt anyone, thank God, and then another friend ran a red light and then said, "Oh dear, I just ran a red light." His stuff was pretty good, too, so sorry, can't agree with or respect what you are saying.

I've heard that the stuff is much stronger now. true?

I dread driving on the streets with the stuff legal.

The government should not regulate smoking at all. As a business owner, I should be able to determine if smoking is allowed in my shop or store. As a customer or employee, you should be able to decide to do business with me or work for me.

We don't need government telling us what to eat, drink or smoke.
