Which part of "safety related" did you not understand?
“doped-up truckers?”
It used to be much worse than what is likely to happen with legal weed-when I was s teen living on the ranch, many small ranchers-including one of my uncles-owned rigs and worked as long-haul truckers for their main source of income. All the teens knew whose dad, older brother, etc who was un trailero kept a bottle of mollies or other speed capsules, so they could get high and keep truckin’ for a couple days without sleep-talk about dangerous... They would also often take phenobarb to come down when they got to their destination, and crash for 24 hours before picking up their next load and paperwork, hitting the road-and the pills-to do it all again.
Most of those pills were legally prescribed and obtained from a doc-just like the f***ing opiates are now-with that going on, legal weed looks like a goddamn nursery school picnic to me...
I even saw it as a workers comp case manager as late as 2003, when regulations for long haul truckers were tightened-the only difference was that now the truckers were staying wired on cowboy cocaine-aka crystal meth, which is unbelievably addictive and health-destroying...
