I read the study. Very interesting stuff! I think that blows this argument that Marijuana has no effect on driving, or reaction time. However, I agree with your premise that alcohol does impair you more than pot. The study that you sited proves it.While we're on different sides as far as decrim/legalization are concerned, I don't see making absolute assertions in either direction as constructive. As far as driving impairment goes, they're just now looking at the impairment levels caused by under-DUI levels of alcohol in combination with many OTC drugs and finding that the impairment level may be as bad as that from DWI levels of alcohol. IMHO, someone trying to talk on a cell phone in a car full of screaming kids can be just as dangerous as a drunk.

You make a very good point here Tac. A distracted driver is every bit as dangerous as an impaired driver!
