So if you’re drunk,high and texting, which gets the credit?
What a surprise!
No way! Everybody knows it’s a “victimless drug!”
Now I am wondering if the woman who nearly t-boned me because her face was buried in an Egg McMuffin had the munchies.
Just make dope legal and all of our problems will go up in smoke.
Obama says this marijuana is a good thing. I must believe!!
This doesn’t surprise me. 30 years ago, I would come home from work, smoke half a joint, and sit down behind my pedal steel for a couple hours of serious practicing. but soon I could only take a couple tokes. And then,,,, just one toke made me nervous! I thought, “This is no longer fun and relaxing” and I quit. Today’s pot hybrids are so insanely strong! No thanks.
Not that I want to see people get killed in car crashes, but let social Darwinism swallow the states who legalize marijuana.
Yeah, what a shocker....
I’m stunned!
As I keep telling people, 50% of the drivers in severe injury accidents involving teenagers in Florida test positive for (high concentrations of, i.e., recent use) marijuana. And it’s not even legal yet.
The numbers could have been much higher but many of those who were high on pot couldn’t find their cars and took a cab home.

Correlation is not causation. For years, the surprising statistics were that marijuana users were far less likely to be involved in vehicle accidents.
It was attributed to the physiological effects of the drug, which led marijuana users to drive slower and more carefully. Almost exclusively, when a marijuana impaired driver was in an accident, they had also been drinking alcohol.
This current study just shows that they had marijuana in their system, which can be there as much as two weeks after use, though after a few hours it no longer intoxicates.
In the study itself, the “tripling” is that of causative effects, in that in 1999, a mere 4% of accidents cited that marijuana was a causative factor, which has now risen to 12%.
This means about 1 in 8. So what were the causative factors in the other 7 in 8?
Collateral damage for a liberal world.
Waaaaaaaahooooooooo!!! Let’s all go crazy and just smoke dope like mad, irresponsible fools!!! Waaaaaaaahoooooooo!!! (just like Slim Pickens ridin that nuke down the chute in Dr. Strangelove)
But you have to admit, at least they were mellow.
Yeah, DUH!
Uh oh. This is gonna start some s#!+.
:-X
When will MAPS (Mothers Against Pot Smokers) speak out? Are they not MADD enough?
Ever seen a government funded study not find a problem that needs to be solved?
