Pot is the perfect drug to create libtards: kills brain cells and erases memory.

Urban legend.

It defies logic to believe that someone would waste their perfectly good, and expensive, drugs, by giving them to people who do not want them.

The first of millions.

When is MADD going to come out screaming? are they going to wait until 1000’s have died from drivers driving high on pot?

or will they be proactive?

Yep, total lie on their part.

Where are the scientific studies that show that driving or reaction time is not negatively affect by being high? heck! they can’t even talk at a normal pace when they are high! they seem to be in slow motion.

... the first reported death linked to marijuana since the drug became legal for recreational use in Colorado in January.

The following FR thead seems to contradict the statement above.
