Study: Fatal Car Crashes Involving Marijuana Have Tripled
According to a recent study, fatal car crashes involving pot use have tripled in the U.S.
Interestingly enought Driving Under the Influence includes marijuana and all other narcotics.
Of course DU claims it is bullshit. Nothing wrong with Mary Jane!

1. I call bullshit to this article.
Please provide further sources and link to prove that pot is much more dangerous than alcohol.
Ha HA! You thought I was kidding about them saying BULLSHIT! Bitchslaps for the lot of you!

10. Taht is a job for the mythbusters
people used to claim texting was safe too.
Or talking on the cell phone for that matter.
Under the influence driving is just not safe, I don't care what the substance is. Oh and that includes a full family of prescription drugs.

4. And how many of them tested positive for alcohol
and other substances, but primarily alcohol? And how many were overtired and how many were fighting on a cell phone or worse, texting?
This article is bogus. Of course when pot is legal, more people will test positive, especially since traces persist in fatty tissue for so long. It's an incredible leap of faulty logic to ASSume that pot was the cause of any of these crashes.
When they find a fatal crash caused by someone who was well rested with no cell phone in the car and no other psychoactive drugs in his system, then they can write this article.
Until then, spare us.
Yes. Lets do a scientific study on the effects of Marijuana on motor skills... What? It's already been done?
http://jop.sagepub.com/content/22/4/441.short
Heavy use of marijuana is claimed to damage critical skills related to short-term memory, visual scanning and attention. Motor skills and driving safety may be compromised by the acute effects of marijuana.
well... shit...

12. okay.....we now know your agenda.......
do make any posts other than anti pot posts?
How much are you being paid to make these posts anyhow? Are you considered a full time employee or only a 1099er? Do they send you the talking points or are you allowed to just make it up as you go along?
Inquiring minds want to know

Another reason for the DUmmies to move to North Korea, the Best Korea.

Boy they turn into little bitches when you talk about their dope. Why is it called dope anyway?

Marijuana is one among their pantheon of gods, and yes they do worship deities even though they claim atheism. The others are abortion, guilt-free sexual deviancy, free money, and whoever the popular liberal talking head of the week is.
Christians don't get nearly as upset over liberals mocking God as liberals do over questioning the divine and flawless nature of their "gods".

38. Wow...
...shit just got real in the impaired driving arena.
Almost everyone I know takes some kind of maintenance drug that would not pass muster in the case of a DUI checkpoint swab. I wonder if the pharmaceutical companies will get behind this new protocol; because seriously, this will make criminals out of the majority of the populace.
And almost everyone *I* know does *not* take some kind of maintenance drug - unless one counts meds for hypothyroidism, high blood pressure, etc.
The shopping list of pharmaceuticals that DUmmies regularly profess to take - I don't know any of those people.

That's what I mean. It has a nickname for a reason. Don't tell me a drug that mellows you out isn't going to cause accidents because of your reaction time. :mad:
