Any links regarding the benefits you listed? Further down you speak of the obvious dangers of legal alcohol. One reason car accidents could be down is that alcohol can make young drivers more aggressive whereas pot makes them mellow and lazy. Middle aged drivers are more likely to drive more cautiously when they drink. A study some years ago on the Long Island Expressway on a Friday night found that many more mature commuters than predicted had imbibed substantial alcohol before driving cautiously homeward, not causing accidents.
