Just yesterday my wife and I were sitting at a stoplight and I could smell the skunk like odor of marijuana. I looked to my left and the driver of the car next to us was a young woman who was smoking marijuana. I pointed out to my wife where the smell was coming from. When the woman saw us looking at her she made an obscene gesture. Which seems to be the way that most marijuana smokers feel about anyone who questions their unhealthy behavior. Do you believe that it is safe for people to be smoking pot while they are driving?
The statistics you have provided have been contradicted by multiple other sources that I do not have time to dig up for you. Almost none of these “studies” cited by marijuana advocates have specific enough data to do anything other than provide misleading fodder for marijuana advocates. While any real world evidence and experience and common sense are completely ignored by these same advocates... And that is you to a tee, isn’t it?
I spent 25 years responding to the victims of motor vehicle accidents and a large proportion even before marijuana was legalized here were caused by people who were impaired by pot. Few of these would make it into any statistical studies because blood samples are only collected in fatal accidents and under specific circumstances... the vast, vast majority of “accidents” have no blood data collected at all by fire or police. And even among those “accidents” that do... the data from those which have no fatalities is protected by HIPPA privacy laws that severely limit the sharing of this data with ESPECIALLY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.
You are operating on the wrong side of COMMON SENSE! I can make one prediction that I can guarantee is 100% accurate. You and othere like you, will continue to ignore the observations of people who have made direct observations and have a lifetime of experience or anyone else who contradicts your pot clouded belief system.
The actual study says, “Also, results of this study do not indicate that drivers with detectable THC in their blood at the time of the crash were necessarily impaired by THC or that they were at-fault for the crash; the data available cannot be used to assess whether a given driver was actually impaired, and examination of fault in individual crashes was beyond the scope of this study.” - https://aaafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/PrevalenceOfMarijuanaInvolvement.pdf

No - nor is that the issue at hand.

I cited the same study YOU did (notice the "aaa" in both links?) - only you merely quoted the press release while I actually read the study.

How do you know they were caused by people who were impaired by pot? And since it was happening even before marijuana was legalized, where is the evidence that legalization has increased it?
