so far it hasn’t had any worse impact than alcohol

And we sure want more people out there driving DUI.

when and if they ever start testing "drunk" drivers for other drugs, I think we'll all be shocked at how many also have weed and other drugs in their system...

so which drug do you pin the intoxication and incompetance on?....alcohol always gets the wrap because its politically correct to attack alcohol while other stuff like weed and cocaine just get that little wink wink...afterall, all the beautiful people use the coke.....

So, you must believe in gun control laws for EVERYONE, just because one person kills a group of kids, right?

My point: just because some people use and abuse alcohol and THEN go out and break laws, does not mean that we should ban alcohol; you ban the bad behavior (i.e., DUI laws, etc...). In America, we should punish people for doing a bad thing (i.e., DUI, murder, etc...). We should NOT punish people because someone else did something stupid, or even because they might, possibly, could have the opportunity to do a bad thing.

They want exemption from DUI laws. Pot stays in their bloodstream but is “inactive”, don’t you know? Besides stoners only “drive too slow” they claim.

Never mind that the deadly accidents aren’t from 0.08 drunk drivers (being pushed downward to 0.03 and it’s 0.01 in Sweden).

Since the standard for alcohol use is headed towards “any measurable amount in your blood”, why not go ahead and keep pot at that threshold? They were fine with demonizing alcohol and tobacco.

States that liberalize pot laws have a proven DECREASE in traffic fatalities.

It’s either because some are substituting pot for alcohol (and are better drivers stoned than drunk) or because pot smokers tend to do it at home, while drinkers are more likely to be at bars and restaurants.

For me, I’d prefer a few more annoying stoners and give up the police state war on drugs that infringes liberties of everyone.
