The scary thing is, most of them are so clueless that they think they drive better when stoned. Talk about being detached from reality.

Well, then that is on you for using poor judgement, and getting into a car with someone who was under the influence. If you were so concerned, then why didn't you ask for that person to hand you the keys, or find another ride?

Nope. But keep getting your "facts" from "Reefer Madness."

Actually, the final time it happened, when the car was stopped in traffic I opened the door and got out. I then called the police on my Android phone and told them this driver was driving intoxicated (gave them the license plate and current location, make and model of the car)

Marijuana is increasingly being studied for use in depression, anorexia, and anxiety.

Also, I have seen photos of this girl, and if the only drug she is abusing is marijuana, I'm Mother Teresa.
Pot causes paranoid behavior.

You know, maybe if you could respond with something besides snark, people would take you seriously around here.

You should reread the OP written by momonkey. That person knows what he/she is talking about.

It's not a matter of having a life that stinks...it's a matter of doing whatever you want as long as it doesn't infringe on the rights of others.

Damn...that's hard to understand?
So you think that pot is harmless even if they drive stoned.

Nothing wrong with an suv, or harley davidson or 5 thousand sq. ft home as long as they can afford them. Many people have all that and it doesn't necessarily mean they are happier than the ones without them.

Lol, you've been here all of 24 hours and you presume to know anything about anyone that posts here?
You just confirmed my theory that you are a formerly banned poster.
Thank you.
