and so it starts!
so predictable. Liberals NEVER think through the consequences of their policies.
Exactly what I was thinking. They’ve created a whole new revenue source for government to nurture and exploit.
Within a decade there will be a half dozen different classifications of criminal intoxication from marijuana alone. Punishments will range from fines to mandatory (and expensive) rehab programs to prison terms for repeat offenders. A joint in an ashtray will be the same as open intoxicants.
There’s a reason I quit drinking.
“so predictable. Liberals NEVER think through the consequences of their policies.”
1. Driving Under the Influence was illegal before the marijuana law and is still illegal after the marijuana law.
2. There is no evidence from the article that the driver just recently started smoking marijuana when it became legal.
Personally, I am not sure what I think of legalizing marijuana. On one hand, I don’t see why an adult shouldn’t be able to use it responsibly in the privacy of his home. On the other hand, you don’t want children having easier access to it and turning into zombies before their brains get a chance to develop. That said, let’s not sensationalize stories that probably have nothing to do with the law.
The consequences of what policies? Stupid people walking into traffic rather than crossing the street at a marked intersection? What ever happened to "cross at the green, not in between?"
Here's a question for you: A guy takes two bong hits of Maui Wowie and then gets in his car to drive to the local mini-mart for Pringles and Haagen Daz. As required by law, he stops at a red light, but illegally makes a cell phone call. Just as the light turns green, a person illegally steps into the intersection against the light while smoking a cigarette and eating a donut. Notwithstanding the green light, the stoned guy remains stationary while he finishes his cell phone call. However, he is hit in the rear by a sober, designated driver with two drunk people in the car, one of whom has an illegal open container. The impact pushes the stoned driver into the guy illegally crossing the street, who sufferes a fatal injury. Which person is at fault and how does the government classify the death?
