Yeah there are plenty of other issues that are far bigger contributors.
**************************
The biggest being the economy.. people are broke and are driving less ,which is why we have a oil glut and lower gasoline prices now.

But I would have to say that not seeing a large increase in fatal accidents is encouraging. We essentially have with MJ a drug that we cannot measure the current/”right now” intoxication as it remains detectable for months... I would have to surmise that people are self regulating and staying off the roads when they know they are unsafe.

Or they are out of it and don’t want to go anywhere because of how stoned they are. THC is a depressant, it slows down bodily functions and affects memory function, plus makes you hungry and sleepy. Plus the habit, or lifestyle of a pothead, which doesn’t easily change is the fact that they get stoned at their home or a friend’s home and don’t often leave for a while after that. Some of them might have trouble even finding the keys to the car.
