Also, increases in Washington and Oregon since they legalized.

Feds will probably expand enforcement. New crack down by perhaps limiting highway funds to those states that have passed said legislation

It should be illegal to drive while under the influence of marijuana.

Has the DUI rate increased proportionally?

Could be that their population has increased around 14%, making it a wash

Do we have access to those #s? 14% wouldn't surprise me, a lot of ppl have moved to CO

You'd be amazed at how many people you drive by puffing on a joint, pipe, or vape pen and not giving a single frick

also wrecks caused by high people are just them running into a fence at 15 miles an hour. a higher volume of wrecks with little damage is better than a lower volume of wrecks with greater damage

But the accidents are probably at a much slower speed.

Our feeling of freedom sure has gone up a lot more than 14%.

Idk why you're bragging about contributing to 2-3 of those people like you are messing it up for everyone else who aren't as irresponsible as you are clearly being

Yeah then the marijuana metabolizes and turns to alcohol poisoning and they lose a liver and have to sell their first born on the black market.
