“Pot driving fatalities in Colorado are up 151 percent!”
Right and let THEM babysit YOUR kids
“Pot driving fatalities in Colorado are up 151 percent!”
We deal with this on a daily basis. Last night coming home, there was a car parked on the shoulder of the freeway. Just as we got up to it, they pulled out in front of us without signaling and I had to slam on the brakes to barely avoid hitting them. When I tried to go into the left lane to get around them, they pulled in front of us again without signaling. We then were going down a section of Hwy 18 called Peasley Canyon just before you go into Auburn, WA. They slowed to under 50mph and other cars were passing on the right, so we couldn’t safely get around them.
Our car was filled with the now familiar skunk like odor of marijuana. I was very happy when they went back into the right lane and exited the freeway in Auburn. In the years since marijuana was legalized here this type of thing happens all of the time.
The primary reason better statistics are not available about the hazards these idiots create is that the police do not have the tools necessary to determine how much pot is in these morons bloodstream without an arrest and an order from a higher authority to take their blood.
Not to mention the I-25 corridor between Ft. Collins and the Springs is a stoner driving nightmare. It’s white-knuckle driving the whole way... that is when you’re not at a complete stop for hours waiting for the latest victims of dope heads to be scraped up off the asphalt.

That bogus stat was corrected in this very same article.
