“The driver admitted to having fired up a joint just before getting behind the wheel.”
There will always be those who violate the law and the sane admonition to not drive when impaired. Whether Pot, opioids, cough medicine or liquor.
Whether pot is legal or not.
Is pot legal in your state?
Pot is NOT legal in my state, and I hope it never is.
If it does become legal they had better abolish the random drunk driving checkpoints because I am not going to have my travel rights violated while other drivers who imbibed on an undetectable substance are free to wreck havoc.
They had also better end the tedious government harassment of people who smoke legal tobacco.
Lobby for pot legalization if you like. Just don’t pretend that it won’t have an impact on automobile safety stats.
