BS. I had a friend killed because he and another friend were high and fucking around. Stupidity played it's part but the stupidity may not have been there without the heavy use of THC.
Correct-a-mundo!
Being stoned while driving is just as dangerous as driving drunk. While I support the idea of legalization of pot for taxation reasons, I think we should throw the book at someone who drives drunk, stoned, or for that matter with a cell phone turned on.
I was surprised to learn that as much as a third of the pot in this country comes from Northern California. Imagine the taxes, and an end to the Mexican cartel border problems all at once! In these times of sequestered government programs, this could be the answer for our budgetary problems nationally and for the States.
.
Although its not a major issue with me I simply do not understand the logic in keeping pot illegal. Nearly every argument made about pot can equally, if not more, be applied to booze.
Both are drugs
Both can be addictive
Both can cause inappropriate and dangerous actions
But the only argument I ever actually see made is that if you allow people to smoke pot we only add more dangerous drivers on the road.
The logical argument is only to ban both, but that could never be...
I haven't had a toke in over 25 years, and legalizing it would not make me change that streak.
We have way to many laws on the books, this one just needs to go away.
I would agree if there were a test that the Officer who pulls someone over could give to see how much THC is in the drivers system. Until then I'm against it being legal. I'll be against it's use for ever....
