While conveniently leaving out the part that goes against your agenda. Disingenuous to say that least, but not unexpected.

That doesnt make it right to drive stoned.

And if stoned people typically drive slow, does that mean there reaction time can be slow too while driving??

If you could only hear yourself.

"We don't know who's smoking, or how that affects them, or if there's even a problem at all. But we should build lots of prisons and destroy lots of lives, just in case."

Looks like OP thought this would turn into an anti cannabis circle jerk without accounting for may other factors, including leaving out evidence in their OP that didn't suit their agenda.

Would read again.

In your own quote, you show that no one is advocating for impaired driving. No one is advocating for ANY type of distracted driving.

Another thing stoners do - act all confused as to why they are incarcerated.
If someone has committed a crime which calls for prison time, let them serve the time.

As a result despite the fact I have not had any points on my driving record in over 30 years, I have watched my insurance premiums rise. I called my insurance company a few years ago and asked them about it and I was told the reason is an increase in accidents. I have no doubt texting is the reason why.

And alcohol should have never been made legal to begin with. I think it's safe to say that texting, talking on the phone, and drinking alcohol have caused more misery on the road than marijuana.
Texting while driving is not a first offense in Fla. It is only a secondary offense--you can only be cited if stopped for something else. The legislature fought to keep it legal for years. The Fla government is insane--literally, and the governor only cares about himself and his own career.

Fla is cell phone heaven. At stoplights, you have to honk to make people go on green, as they are so engrossed in their phones. I HATE it. I keep hoping they will make hand held cells illegal, but that is simply too logical for a state that prides itself on insanity, masked as freedom. Free to kill and maim.
