Like a lot of the others, just insist it is so. Then call dissenters names to drive the point home. Lockstep group think, like progressives.

Freedom-lovers have facts, statists have bluster and hot air - just another day on FR.

A lot less people on the road driving to work.

The last report I'd seen, had an increase in (stoned) driver arrests in abutting states.

Like most of your posts, nothing in that was true.

Like any brain dead progressive, just personal attacks.

Go screw, Gerry.

"only 5 mph"

Ha, ha...I knew an ex co-worker who'd get smashed at the tavern and then drive home 10-15 mph under the speed limit. He was always getting stopped by the cops, and he couldn't figure it out.

Just in case you hadn’t heard:

Sen. Ted Cruz said he supports Colorado’s state rights to keep marijuana legalized without federal interference during an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity at Thursday’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

“I actually think this is a great embodiment of what Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis called ‘the laboratories of democracy,’” Cruz said. “If the citizens of Colorado decide they want to go down that road, that’s their prerogative. I personally don’t agree with it, but that’s their right.”

I know you are conservingignorance but Cruz is against legalization, said it is wrong.

Did you have a reply about driving?

Or are you going to spam me about Refeer Maddness next? (Like always)

Cruz is against legalization, said it is wrong.

His personal opposition will have significance when he runs for state office.

Did you have a reply about driving?

You never asked a question about driving.

Quite the opposite since unlike you he is not pushing drugs on America.

This thread is about driving and I just did ask. But don’t hurt yourself trying to be on topic. It’s not like you would have something interesting. You see marijuana and that is your one real topic.

Quite the opposite

What is the significance of a states-rights President's personal opinion on what states ought to do?

This thread is about driving

These driving statistics refute the hysterical predictions of death and mayhem by the authoritarians if adults were allowed to smoke MJ.

something interesting

It doesn't get less interesting than your unsupported claim, "A lot less people on the road driving to work."

From the article: "the number of total miles traveled continues to go up in Colorado."

LoL!
Made you post about driving. An admission on your part.

Was worth the extra time.

Good night.

This is the chart you want. The actual number of unemployed. The unemployment rate is the number of people who drop out of the work force every week as a percentage of existing jobs. The rate is the number the left uses to lie about unemployment.

I think this shows that the marijuana industry has created jobs, or that people can't remember if they work.

I know you are desperate but you offered your unsupported claim as an explanation for the low fatalities - in which context it doesn't matter where they're going.
