Our sympathies, 420

[ses]

There is a whole trucking industry on our B.C. border that has trailers driven across the border, loaded, and returned stateside by drivers who are clean! If you have a DUI on your record, you will NOT get into Canada! Our WONDERFUL state just passed a law that you can possess recreational MMJ if you're over 21. So you can smoke it on the weekend, but you still have to pass the pee test on monday! We already have a shortage of truckers, so this will REALLY help!!

This right here is how you control drug abuse without government intervention. If you know a drug test could cost you your job you'll probably lay off of it.

So then df, you think there's no difference between and impaired driver and a clean-drug free / sober one?

Of course there is a difference glow. BUT there is no difference between a drunk driver or a stoned driver. They both are impaired. But unless you have data showing the number of crashes caused by non-impaired drivers vs. the number of crashes caused by impaired drivers, and then a further breakdown of stoned vs. drunk drivers, you can NOT say that stoned drivers are more dangerous than drunk drivers. It is just conjecture on your part to say other wise.

The worst of all are sober Illinois drivers.

df,

I've never posted that it was okay to drive drunk. larrydc will confirm that I walk the walk. No driving for me after his party.

What happens here is when I post some FACTs about the potheads, there will be one or two guys who respond about drunk driving (which I neither do nor endorse). Usually they're just pizzed that beer is legal and pot is not. So what, then instead of breaking the law, stop at the beer store for whatever you like, take it home and drink as much as you wish (not up to me to issue warnings about ruining your liver or something). You'll get out of it, similar to illegal pot, but you won't break the law unless your drive (don't) or raise he!! (don't).

Probably the problem for the potheads is they don't respect the law and break it. I respect the laws and don't do illegal drugs.
Most potheads are selfish. Pretty much on display with 420.

I read somewhere that 23% of accidents are caused by drunk drivers.

To me that means watch out for the 77% that are milk drinkers.They must be a lot more dangerous.

[glowplug]

Sorry natty, beverage milk consumption has been declining for decades. Coffee is also in decline.

Maybe it's all that Mountain Dew? Or perhaps the vehicles need better ballast, a good set of wheel weights prevents rollovers....

Anyhoooo, as the article says, stoned drivers are a growing concern.

We'll wait for that big puff of smoke to pop out of the computer coming soon when 420 sort of forms his incoherant sentences.
It's really time he checks into rehab.

Yeah Gnatty and I read somewhere that of the 23% of the crashes caused by drunk drivers, 41% of those drivers grow Golden Harvest corn. The other 59% live in Sconny.
