There's been study to show (monitored by Police, a driving instructor, and researchers) that most can operate a vehicle safely at 5x the current legal limit.


And back to the main kicker. Traffic fatalities have decreased an average of 9% in states where marijuana has been legalized medicinally.

I've seen that study - good stuff.
Just pointing to others that there are in fact DWI processes in place.
Their nanogram number is definitely debatable.

Unfortunately it is still imperfect as far as I know. I support the legalization but if you don't want nailed with a DUI I say you better invest in a company that will come up with one more precise.

Unfortunately this is exactly what many addicts think, and say. Very dangerous.

Traffic fatalities have dropped a heck of a lot more than that on average, and it has nothing to do with narcotics use and everything to do with car safety. What you should be asking is why the fatalities in these marijuana states has dropped less than the average.

Definitely didn't intend to take away from your post. Thought it was great for those who don't know the law. I'd say a vast majority of most Americans don't. Was just adding some data to put things in perspective.

And it's best to discourage them to consume marijuana. Unfortunately, today's society encourages its use.

Legal or not for kids, the fact I posted speaks for itself.

That is a lie. Flat out.




And to your first jab, no I'm not an addict and if I was, it would speak even lesser of you.




Keeping showing people the crazy of Prohibition. Can't hide from the truth.

I'll bet you that 99.9% of those who have used cocaine drank alcohol first.
But that would be just a guess. The fact remains that many addicts of hard drugs started by using marijuana.
