Study shows medical marijuana laws reduce traffic deaths

_____________________________________________________________

Shouldn't intrastate drug policies, such as legalization and regulation, be decided by states rather than fedgov under authority of the 10th Amendment?

I’d have to agree with the #6 reply on that string you linked. It seems a stretch to conclude that legalizing medical marijuana led to fewer traffic fatalities. I don’t see the correlation proven.

I replied on this thread earlier today with a CDC stat showing 18% of 2009 DWI fatalities involved other drugs. Would seem unlikely that legalizing marijuana would somehow favorably influence this stat, wouldn’t it?

As a Conservative, I absolutely agree that it should be up to the States to decide. And, if such legalization were proposed here in TX, I’d fight it.
