Go ahead and legalize it. We’re not talking about heroine or meth or cocaine. People don’t die from overdosing on pot.

No, but someone impaired can get behind the wheel and do it. And what makes pot a big problem is that there’s no scientific consensus on a base blood level of THC that can prove impairment. So prosecuting drivers is very problematic.

We’re putting the cart before the horse.

I would rather they focus on heroine, meth, cocaine and OPIOIDS. Those are the drugs destroying communities.

I’ve yet to read a valid/factual article regarding anything resembling a pot overdose. I’ve smoked pot since my days in Vietnam and have never known anyone to have any adverse reaction other than the urge to eat an entire box of Oreo’s.

“We’re not talking about heroine or meth or cocaine. People don’t die from overdosing on pot.”

Those other drugs are concentrated extracts, not the source plant. Huge doses of concentrated THC will have different effects from old fashioned pot smoking - we haven’t really yet publicly seen what happens to people who take 1,000 or 10,000 doses at a time. My understanding is that it is like LSD. Cost is currently an obstacle to such dosages, but that could change given full legalization.
