One of the nation’s top traffic safety organizations is issuing an urgent warning about driving while high. AAA says that in some states that have legalized marijuana, fatal accidents involving drivers who’ve consumed pot are on the rise.

I suspect that it has the same affect on a person’s reaction time.

Marijuana legalization unlikely to blame for Denver crime increase
I’m in my 50s.
My parents literally slapped fear into my head,
and they turned me around and saved my from being a loser stoner.
THANKS MOM!
THANKS DAD!
It kills a person’s common sense as well.
“saved me”
They also say that smoking weed causes memory loss, which is why I forgot about the episode of Taxi.
Why should AA care about marijuana ?
oh wait...nevemind
All I know is all this medical marijuana has cured me from smoking that low grade marijuana.........\sarc
Vote for Hillary! as she uses the same ‘statistics’ as your source.
DON’T be a dope(r).

You spout nonsense. As someone with 25+ years "experience", I can promise you, you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.
So, the real question is — have things gotten worse. And reason would indicate, yes.
Before, you had just one legal intoxicant and one illegal. Now you have two legal intoxicants. Granted many people smoked it illegally but I argue that a lot more people are smoking it now because it is legal. Heck, there has probably even been a large influx of people to Colorado because pot is legal; people who would be more likely to smoke pot.
So, yes there would be more stoned people on the roads than before pot was legal. and so the incident of accidents would increase. Note: no doubt that there are people who are never counted — legally intoxicated drivers but never caught.
Libs won’t mind a few deaths as long as the freedom to smoke marijuana is upheld. Nix on the freedom to defend yourself, however.
“You spout nonsense. As someone with 25+ years “experience”, I can promise you, you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.”
For the same period Hillary! has been telling US that she’s not a criminal.
You BOTH are criminals. She is a liar. You are too, likely.
How ‘bout that?
I know of three people whose lives were ruined. My bro, my friend, and an acquaintance. Look at my posts from a while back. I went into great length about it. All three are fine now but they wasted years of their lives.
I posted a comment about medical weed on a site and was attacked by stoners. I posted links from the American medical Association as my backup. and they posted links for web site weed support proving that I was wrong. funny how some keep the interest of their readers by lying to them
“Prove it. I live in CO. According to this, we should be seeing pot related fatal accidents on the regular. The facts show otherwise. This is BS propaganda”
Really? I live in Wyoming and it is quite obvious that the I-25 corridor between FoCo and Denver has significantly become worse since CO legalized dope. Every time we travel that way now we are delayed by an accident. We avoid it like the plague. Additionally, downtown Denver is nasty to visit now. The reek smell of dope permeates the air and every where you look are stoned people laying about. You can have it.
Feel free to answer the question instead of evading it.
And the answer is...... YES! As proven by my very logical analysis.
“All three are fine now but they wasted years of their lives.”
It’s not “wasted” if you’re having a good time.
