“if an individual isn’t infringing on the rights of somebody else via force, fraud, or negligence”
Fatal accidents caused by drivers with marijuana in their blood have close to tripled since the State of Washington ‘legalized’ marijuana.
That's why DUI is a crime, whether for marijuana, alcohol, or any other intoxicant.
Personally, I'd rather be driving around on a road with 1000 stoned-on-marijuana drivers, than with half a dozen drivers who are drunk.
In any event, such observations have nothing to do with those circumstances when people aren't driving, or are simply enjoying themselves in the privacy of their own home or under some other benign circumstances...
“Fatal accidents caused by drivers with marijuana in their blood have close to tripled since the State of Washington ‘legalized’ marijuana.”
Fake news, Marvin. You now qualify to be a panelist on CNN or PMSNBC.

“The percentage of drivers involved in fatal crashes who had traces of marijuana in their blood has doubled since marijuana was legalized in Washington state, a new study suggests.”
So it’s not “tripled” but doubled, Marvin. That kind of fallacy probably gets you on 2+ panels a day on CNN but not much else.
“The findings, which were released by the (AAA), suggest that states that have legalized marijuana use need better rules to protect drivers on the road, Nelson said.”
Works for me. How about you, Marvin?
